aethelstan 3991 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Thong Contest Judge" 03-13-11, 10:56 PM (EST) "March Madness: Pick 8" Here is a March Madness game that Gothmog began a few years ago which I always enjoy. So, with his permission (hopefully), I'm starting it again this year. As usual, I've cut & pasted his instructions: Here's a different kind of NCAA pool. It seems fairly simple, yet I've never managed to finish higher than 5th, and I usually lose to 8 yr olds picking at random, or people picking by cities they've visited, favorite colors, or teams with "Wildcat" mascots, or some such. Here are the rules: 1. Each team in the tournament is assigned a point value, based on their seed. (See below). 2. Before the first game on Thursday (the play-in game doesn't count), you must pick 8 teams. You may pick any 8 that you like, regardless of where they appear in the bracket (although it's wisest to pick teams that won't meet each other right away). 3. For every team that you pick, they get their pre-assigned point value each time they win. Once the team loses, they can no longer get any points. 4. You cannot change teams or edit your picks after the start of the first game on Thursday 5. The winner is the person with the most total points. If there is a tie, then the tiebreaker is total number of points that will be scored by both teams in the CHAMPIONSHIP game (closest wins). Strategy hints: Like I said, I can't seem to figure this game out, but here's what I've observed: The winner of this usually has around 40-50 points, so you want teams that will get you about 6-8 points each. If you can pick a lower seed to win a couple of games, that's worth more points than a #1 seed that will win it all. I usually try to pick teams that are spread out among the brackets, but there have been occasions where the top 3 point-getters are all from the same region. The winners of this pool seem to be the ones who pick the mid-range seeds that go far, but I've tried that strategy and ended up with only 2 live teams by the end of the first weekend. So if you have a better idea, by all means go for it. Here are how the points are assigned: Seed....Point value per win 1............1 2-3.........2 4-5.........3 6-8.........4 9-11.......5 12-13......6 14-15......7 16..........8 If you'd like to play, then sometime before Thursday, post your 8 teams and the total number of points you think will be scored by both teams in the championship game (to be used as a tie-breaker).   Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: Standings after the first weekend" I'm toast, CTgirl has the same teams left that I do (plus two more) and she's ahead of me in the standings. There won't be a repeat champion in this pool this year. Too bad she didn't pick Bucknell.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Gothmog 2746 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Survivor-themed Cruise Spokesperson" 03-22-11, 10:51 AM (EST) 28. "RE: Standings after the first weekend" Just for comparison, out of the 107 entries in my work pool, The leader has 40 points, and in 2nd place are several tied with 37. The leader here (33 points) would be tied for 15th place there. I haven't seen yet what teams the leader picked, but (s)he has 6 teams still active. (The spreadsheet that gives us updates just says how many teams are active, not what they are.) I'm holding down 84th place. It was a bad year to pick the 3-7 seeds, as evidenced by the number of double digit seeds that sneaked through (as many as the past two years combined). I'm kicking myself for not picking Butler, as I instinctively thought about at first. Usually the 8th seed is a bad pick--tough first round game, and not worth as much as a 9 seed (which has won the 8-9 match more often anyway), and very unlikely to win 2 games (less likely than a 10-12 seed). Plus, being a Valpo fan (same conference as Butler), I knew this was a down year for Butler after last year's success, especially since Hayward moved on. Hard to imagine the team that lost to Youngstown St. having any success in this tournament. So much for conventional wisdom. Two wins in the final .8 seconds have rewarded those who took the risk, and they have a very beatable Wisconsin team up next.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

aethelstan 3991 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Thong Contest Judge" 03-28-11, 11:29 AM (EST) 32. "Current standings" What a final four! Even though it trashed my brackets, I love it. Butler back to back final fours?? Crazy! CT girl is the runaway winner. It remains only to see how high she'll go. It will be a record as she's the first ever to crack 50 points here. She still has Butler and UConn left alive and is the only one with 2 teams. The first person who doesn't have either of those two is Yogi, in 4th, and having no chance to catch up. The only 'entry' with a chance is the unchosen 8 who could get 10 more points if VCU goes all the way and UK beats UConn. And, even then, it would be a tie.

CTgirl 6076 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 04-05-11, 04:35 PM (EST) 39. "RE: And the winner is......" Thanks Stan for running the game. It was a crazy tournament. Too bad the final game was such a let down! I do have to give props to my son because he suggested that I pick Butler (and WVA) and remembering how they played last year I agreed they were going to be good for some points. (Didn't think they'd earn me that many though!) He also told me to pick teams in the top and bottom of each quadrant of the bracket so they won't meet each other right away and that worked well for me. Of course, being a native Nutmegger, there was no way I wasn't going to pick UConn after the way they performed in the Big East tournament. UConn beat my alma mater in the first round so I decided that if we had to lose to UConn, they better GO ALL THE WAY and they did. I should've entered my bracket someplace where I might have earned some money! Looking forward to next year!   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Gothmog 2746 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Survivor-themed Cruise Spokesperson" 04-09-11, 09:10 AM (EST) 40. "RE: And the winner is......" I'm sure that would have been worth money in Gothmog's league. In my work pool, the cost for entry is $2. First place gets 60% (minus $2 for the person who finishes last); 2nd place gets 30% and third gets 10%. CTGirl would have finished tied for 2nd/107 in my work pool, which would have won $42.80 (splitting the 2nd and 3rd place winnings). The winner had 65 points and won $126.40. That's high for us. Even with lots of entries, the winner usually has something in the 50s. Lower seeds going far means higher numbers. I finished 94th. Yech.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
