OK, we are back in on this!
You select one team on every seed line (so a 1 seed, a 2 seed, a 3 seed, etc etc). You also pick a wild card team who is NOT in your original selections. So you will select 17 teams. The scoring is 1 point for a win in the 1st round, 3 for a win in the 2nd, 5 for a win in the S16, 7 for a win in the E8, 9 for a win in the F4, and 11 for a natty win PLUS the team's seed is added to each win. So you get 2 points if your 1 seed wins in the first round, and 15 if your 14 seed does.
The First Four play-in games don't count, so for example if Pitt vs New Mexico is a 12 seed play-in game, you could pick the winner of Pitt/UNM (either before or after they play, totally fine for one of your picks to be "Pitt/UNM", but can't pick one of those teams and earn points for the play-in win.
$25/entry, must pay and make selections by tipoff Thursday. I will share the Google Sheet with everyone by end of day Thurs and will post my own picks in the thread before tipoff so everyone knows I didn't just wait for the best picks.
We had 23 entries last year, hoping we can surpass that this year. PM me to make picks and get payment details. LFG!
