A guy in Europe did better than you.


Quints got it if Nova wins.

Well, if Nova wins and then wins again, he's got it running away. I'd feel pretty good about myself if I was him.

I think that if Nova wins and then gets beat the next game, then I still win by one. Its kind of no fun to follow anymore though.

There must be several hundred thousand people in that Yahoo pool.

there's a guy in the Trolltrain pool with 88 fucking points.

You know, I've always thought in these "seeded" bracket pools that they should give the points based on the round AND the seed. If a guy picks an 11 seed to beat a 1 seed, that should net more points.

Say, Round 1 you get........ 1 x seed = your points for each correct pick.

Round 2 you get............... 2 x seed = your points for each correct pick.

And so on. If you had George Mason, you'd be way out in the lead, which you should be. I don't think an 11 seed has ever made the final four.

To take the safe bets, like I did, seems retarded to be ahead of anybody that picked some of these 4+ seed teams to be in the final four.

I wouldn't know. They made a mistake and banned me there.

I think this would totally fuck people up. They'd be picking upsets just because they'll get a ton of points if they happen to be right. It's an interesting idea, though.

And for the record, LSU was a #11 seed in 1986...

I run a pool at work this way.Double the points if you pick a team thats seeded 3 seeds higher than the team you pick them to beat. It does get people to pick upsets but most people only pick two or three because you'll be done after the first day if you are wrong.


It looks like I won with flumper tying me.I am not shocked.Can someone confirm?

Yeah, I won. Good job managing a tie.

I don't see anyone else that can get any points. Out of this group of 11, no one has a single team left that can get any points. :lool:

Did you see that one dude had the final 4 in Yahoo? Dude with the name Tim McKenna. He is being accused of hacking and shit.
They are referencing some Stat website with a post by the guy of the same name from 2004. It is rediculous. Dude got lucky is what I figure. Maybe he is an alum.

If you search the site, you find Tim McKenna posted somegime in 2004 about some shit I don't even understand. Their are some yahoo players that are using that as evidence that he cheated.

I was wondering how many possible iterations there would be if you submitted every single combination of winning brackets. It would have to be astronomical.
