cabiness42 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I am in, though despite watching more college basketball than 99% of people, I am notoriously bad at the bracket challenge. I've been picking brackets since 1983 and gotten the winner right only twice (though I did peg Butler for the Final Four two years ago). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I'm in. Haven't done a bracket in a few years, used to do a bunch. We'll see how rusty I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 When's the deadline? If I have the time I might join just to arbitrarily stick IU in teh final four because it's been too long since I did that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowand44 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Ill join when I get home. I haven't won this thing in 5 years, way to long of a drought. That will change this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I don't see on here what the point system is for this specific pool. How is the scoring done? Lots of ways to skin the cat, but how you do the scoring may dictate some of my picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuskyCaucasian Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Honest question, why doesnt Yahoo let you pick the play-in games? Are they technically not part of the tournament? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabiness42 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Honest question, why doesnt Yahoo let you pick the play-in games? Are they technically not part of the tournament? If picks were required to be in by 7pm on Tuesday as compared to Noon Thursday, you'd have a lot lower participation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuskyCaucasian Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) I am not doing it for the SoxTalk challenge, but I am going to create a "coin flip" bracket. I'll flip a coin for each match-up. Heads-the higher seed advances; tail-the lower seed advance. Well, this didnt turn out well...

Heads-the higher seed advances; tail-the lower seed advance. I have done that before, but in a different way. For each game I did (x+y-1) coin flips, where x and y are the seeds of the teams. Team X needs to win x flips to advance and team Y needs to win y flips to advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Hudler Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I'm in. My bracket sucks. I spent at least 3 minutes on it, but I don't like it. I just don't see a final four team from the west bracket and I had to pick Kentucky to lose and I'm not a big believer in Duke, so the South got murky. I wish FSU was the 4 seed in the East, it would have been a perfect place to pick Syracuse to lose. I figured I would take on ridicule if I picked IU to beat Kentucky again so I picked UConn to beat them. I originally picked UConn to beat IU as well, but I figured they would be on too much of a high so I went one more game with IU, which is stretching them a bit. I just want to get them to the 2nd weekend because I want to go to Atlanta to see it! Please feel free to question or criticize my picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I don't think I have ever seen a two point difference after Day one. That is really close. everyone either got 12, 13, or 14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuskyCaucasian Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 My Elite 8 is still completely intact. So far, I have 7 of the 11 Sweet 16 teams (soon to be 7 of 12 when Georgetown loses) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabiness42 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I'm not even checking the standings. If I'm not in last place, then somebody must really, really suck at this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
