$25 NCAA pick every seed contest

[TXSooner518 2438]

Cross-posting from Gamboool board:

OK, we are back in on this, we had 14 entries last year, hoping we can fly by that this year. PM me to make picks and get payment details. LFG!

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 you could pick the winner of Pitt/Miss State (either before or after they play in the First Four, totally fine for one of your picks to be "Pitt/Miss State", 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.

Just a heads up that Furman is a 13, not a 14.

Right for each win you get the team's seed plus the round bonus, so 1 for the first round, 3 for second round, 5 for S16, 7 for EE, 9 for FF, and 11 for the natty.

Spreadsheet will update a bit slower today, at Six Flags with the kiddos. GL all!

I would have joined, but the OP used the word "natty".

Harsh but fair.

This has been paid out, with 50% going to Surly posters (Driskill through Derka) and 50% going to people I know (a lifelong friend and my brother).  

254 was the winning score.  Best possible score was 390, so lots of missed opportunities for everyone. See ya next year!
