"March Madness Pick 8" |
Here, once again, the fun "Pick 8" pool. Since we've had this pool for several years in a row, I've trimmed the first post to just the basics. Thanks to Gothmog for introducing this game to SBOT/RTVW.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 games don'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). 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).

LAST EDITED ON 03-22-13 AT 05:33 PM (EST)Thanks. Sorry, I haven't been back to this thread, and I missed the error. Believe it or not, I'd actually meant to pick Oregon, and I'm not sure how I screwed up. I'm happy with Georgetown, though, especially after two of my big upset picks (Davidson, barely, and Bucknell, convincingly) went down the tubes. At least LaSalle won.

19. "RE: March Madness Pick 8" |
Looks like it could be another low scoring year. Not because there haven't been any upsets but because out of 13 entries, 10 picked Wisconsin! 9 of us picked Saint Louis, 7 Miami and OSU, Duke, Michigan, Syracuse and Butler were picked 6 times. Why I picked Butler here and not in my bracket, I have no idea.There were 8 conferences that had 3 or more entries into the field of 68 (and 64). Big East (8), Big Ten (7)*, Big-12 (5), Pac-12 (5), A-10 (5), MWC (5/4 depending on what you are counting), ACC (4) and SEC (3 including newcomer Mizzou). As usual, I'll track the best performing conference. Oh, and there was a whole host of teams not chosen by anyone. I'll throw in a best 8 of the unchosen teams. I have a feeling they might clobber all of us. This is what the standings looked like after yesterday's games: Unchosen 8: . . . . Marquette (2), Wichita St (5), UCLA (0), Arizona (4), Memphis (4), Colorado St (4), Harvard (7), Illinois (0), ...Total: 26 aethelstan: . . . .

22. "Standings after round 1" |
After a round filled with 10 upsets, Pepe is left with a mere 2 teams while cahaya and Snidget escaped mostly unscathed with 7 each.Most of the major conferences are hurting too. The Big-12 and SEC are down to 2. The Pac-12, ACC and Big East have 3. The Atlantic Sun is feeling really happy that both FGSU and Mercer (in the NIT) won their first games with big upsets. Collectively, we picked none of the 9 seeds but all of the 2s, 4s, 10s and 11s. Here are the standings. MRC: . . . .

25. "Results after the first weekend." |
The first weekend shredded some of our picks (Pepe, samboohoo and MrC only have 1 team left) while starshine and cahaya still have 6 teams left. Ayak can only wonder how he would be leading if his fingers had typed what he had meant to type.For comparison sake, I created an unchosen 8 set from only 6,7,8 and 9 seeds. A pool of selected 13, 14 and 15 seeds would have 33 points and be leading. Unchosen 8: . . . .

27. "It's all over! (Elite 8 standings)" |
Well, Pepe has now been completely eliminated but cahaya still has 5 of his 8 teams left. Nobody can catch him as the only 3 teams he doesn't have are Wichita State (unchosen), Marquette (unchosen) and Louisville who can only earn 3 more points maximum and only byoffer has them anyway. But will he catch the unchosen 8?? The best 8 currently have 86! and still includes teams like Harvard.So, without further ado... Congratulations to cahaya!!

34. "RE: Rankings up to the Final Four" |
LAST EDITED ON 04-02-13 AT 10:49 PM (EST)Thanks, stan! My Pick 8's can tie the Unchosen 8 if Louisville wins over Wichita State and the winner of Michigan/Syracuse wins over Louisville with a record 55 points. Starshine, our local Lloyd's of London chap from across the pond, scores the silver! byoffer can scoot into 3rd place (by one point) if Louisville wins it all; otherwise stan, Snidget and byoffer could potentially end up in a possible 3-way tie for third! There's still a lot of basketball to be played!

35. "Well, this is embarrassing" |
I use a spreadsheet to help me not only with the tallying of points but also with the creation of the posts, using vlookups and preformatting the commas, etc. Anyway, the names and the list of teams comes from one section but the totals come from another.So, to make a long story short, I made a mistake with snidget's and my totals. I had been counting California instead of Oregon for me and Michigan instead of Michigan State for snidget. If you add up across you'll see that it doesn't add up. It's fixed now and I've adjusted my spreadsheet to show totals from both places to act as a cross-reference for me. So, sorry about that. I'm not trying to revise history or anything just so I can finish second to cahaya. Proper final standings will be posted tomorrow. Thanks.

39. "RE: Final Standings" |
Thanks for hosting, stan! It turned out to be pretty close with several of us picking both Michigan and Syracuse, and I was just a Michigan win short of tying the Unchosen 8! A Michigan win would have also won me the OT Pick Em pool, but I won in another pool with my pick for Louisville as the winner. Crazy brackets this year! Thanks again.
