Hrmm. No upset points in this scoring? What's the fun in that??!? Oh well. I'm in.

What do you mean by upset points? I can still change it up until 12.

Right now, it's just that the seed # of the winning team gets added to the score for that round. (If a 12 seed beets a 5 in the first round, you get 13 points)

I can change it to multiply the seed by the weight of the round if that's what people want.

Damn, I'm off to a bad start. Three games in the bag, and I only got one right.

I've had 5 correct picks so far.

I picked G. Washington to win. They got DESTROYED. Ohio State is currently destroying C Conn.

I had GW, too. I've only got 4 right so far. I'm off to a bad start, as usual.

The seed of the team gets added? That's good enough. Upset points are generally that you get a bonus if you pick a lower seeded team to win. You don't do that explicitly but it works. No matter, it's all in good fun.

Yeah! Dook goes down in the first round. Nothing makes me happier.

Indeed, I love it.

And nothing would have been better if Paulus had pulled an Adam Morrison at the end game, the cocky little shit.

Stupid Duke. FSU dominated Michigan tonight in NIT play. We should have had Duke's Tournament spot. Oh well. There is still hope for my bracket.

I nailed that one!

I don't know what it was, but ever since I filled out my bracket, I knew I'd get that one. (Then again, I was fairly sure about Davidson - ODU in the second round, and they both lost today.)

Duke was overseeded, not to mention they aren't very good yet. (YET)
Until the jumper that won the game VCU came down and ran the same play 5 times and Duke never reacted to it.
eg.- Point guard takes screen at the top of the key and drives in the paint for a 6 footer. Not that I wanted Duke to win (I picked VCU) but it was making me crazy that no one picked up the the guy driving the lane.

It's not looking too good for you so far, dude. (It's okay for me, though--I picked Pitt )

Looks like I'm definitely getting two of the four games going now, and maybe a third. I think I might miss Gonzaga-Indiana, though.

OK... I'm really annoyed at CBS and MMOD right now. They block out the local games that are supposedly being broadcast in the local market... but then CBS switches away without re-enabling the "local" game online. Grrrr

Well, that was a bad first day for me.

At least none of my misses extend past the second round.

Dook!!1!

My bracket had them losing their next game, but that's OK - well worth it. I had a few upsets predicted but none of them panned out.

Meanwhile, if my Louisville Cardinals keep playing like they did against Stanford in the first half today, they may very well go beyond my Elite 8 pick for them.

GO CARDS!

One of my misses does.

It wasn't a bad first day for me, though. 11/16 is WAY better than I normally do--which likely means I'll get destroyed tomorrow.

I heard the same from several posters on the Louisville board I'm on during games.

Chicago had to watch all of the Butler/Old Dominion game, that was like watching paint dry.
Tomorrow is the big day, with Illinois and Southern Illinois playing to meet each other Sunday, if they both win that is.
SIU is my semi-sleeper/cinderella.

Not bad today, 13 out of 16 (bracket #1).

Luckily my three misses could only damage me for this round as I've got them losing in the next. However, considering I have a similar bracket in a money pool, I'm most certainly going to bomb out in glorious fashion tomorrow.

My upset laden bracket #2 is taking on water and sinking fast.



EDIT: This prediction is looking to be shaping up real nice like. :/

Everything that I missed today is picked to go out next round anyway, so I still like my long-term chances.

For some reason I picked ALL the 10 seed teams to advance in the first round and, with GTech, I have been wrong on ALL of them. My only hope left is Creighton. At least Notre Dame is getting whipped right now.

90% of statistics can be made to say anything 50% of the time.

WTF is wrong with Wisconsin today? I'm pretty much screwed if they lose. (I do have them out in the sweet 16 (to Winthrop, though.)
