Post by: qstick777 on March 19, 2010, 09:59:27 AM: So far 9 right and 7 wrong. I may be okay - other than G'town, I didn't have any of those other teams getting out of the 2nd round. I swear I have Tenn making the sweet 16 in one of my brackets...probably one of those "fun" no money, no prize brackets!
Title: Re: 900 Global March Madness Bracket Challenge
Post by: Motogp69 on March 19, 2010, 10:21:28 AM: Yeah, it would spoil it for me as well. Not like I'm doing poorly to this point, but I just don't think that's fair to the other participants that were going on the belief that it was only one entry like last year. Nick's an upstanding guy so if it was changed back to 1 entry per-person mid-tournament he'd tell the truth on which was his first bracket.

Post by: gojr1815 on March 20, 2010, 08:14:00 PM: In a response from Mr. Thomas he says it has always been one. He said he thought he locked it. Next year he will make it more clear. So I guess all brackets stand. I believe if you would win more than 1 you would get the higher place. So I believe that is fair.

No problem, after the bracket busting that took place we had to let our frustrations out at somebody. Just glad I wasn't gullible enough to buy the Kansas hype like most in the challenge.

Looks like it's 320 pts for getting the NC correct. 3rd column from the right - PPR. I'm guessing that stands for "potential points per round" or something like that. Only 3 people have Duke and they all have 320 in that column.

If Duke wins looks like you'll jump up to 3rd place.
