3/22 Update
Welcome to the Sweet 16! It has to be a record with 23 of us lossing our championship team at this point in the tournament
RTR wins the pool, with Jack 2nd and Susan 3rd!! Thanks for entering this year, now it's time to sit back and wait for football season (you can watch a little baseball and enter my NBA playoff pool in the mean time).
Scoring: You will receive points for each correct game winner you choose. The number of points will be calculated as follows: Round 1 win - 1pts Round 2 win - 2pts Round 3 win - 4pts Round 4 win - 8pts Round 5 win - 16pts Pick Chamption - 32pts
Bonus Scoring - same as last year! If you get a pick correct you will also be awarded additional points equal to the winning teams Seed#.
For Example: You pick a #1 Seed to beat a #16 Seed in Rd 1. You would receive 2pts (1pt for the Rd 1 win + 1pt for the Seed#) You pick a #9 Seed to beat a #8 Seed in Rd 1. You would receive 10pts (1pt for the Rd 1 win + 9pts for the Seed#) You pick an #11 Seed to beat a #4 Seed in Rd 2. You would receive 13pts (2pts for the Rd 2 win + 11pts for the Seed#) You pick a #10 Seed to beat a #3 Seed in Rd 3. You would receive 14pts (4pts for the Rd 3 win + 10pts for the Seed#) You pick a #11 Seed to beat a #1 Seed in Rd 4. You would receive 19pts (8pt for the Rd 4 win + 11pt for the Seed#) You pick a #1 Seed to beat a #1 Seed in Rd 5. You would receive 17pts (16pt for the Rd 5 win + 1pt for the Seed#)
No Tie Breakers!!!
