Hey all, 

I'm also running the contest I ran last year, which isn't a pure bracket contest. Instead, you pick one team from every seed line, plus a wild card of your choice (so you pick 17 teams total). 

Scoring is 1 pt for a round of 64 win, 3 for a round of 32 win, 5 for a Sweet 16 win, 7 for an Elite 8 win, 9 for a Final Four win, and 11 for a natty. PLUS each win gets a bonus of the seed of the winning team. So say your 12 seed wins its first round game, you get 13 points (1 for the win, 12 for seed bonus). Note that the points don't start til the round of 64, so you can take, say, Texas, as your 11 but you don't get points for them beating Xavier in the First Four. (You can take Texas/Xavier as your 11 and you get whoever wins, you don't have to specify).

$25 entry. Had 27 entries last year, hope we can pass that. DM me your picks by 12PM Eastern on Thursday, March 20. I have a Google Sheet I will send out with rosters and a live leaderboard, though I'm traveling to Seattle on Thursday and have a pretty extreme schedule through the next Thursday, so be patient.

Here is the link to the rosters. Unfortunately the leaderboard won't be working for a bit, takes some work to link it all up and I'm traveling so dunno when for sure.

31 entries, $775 pool. $375, 250, 150.

I'm pretty sure I'm winning.

I'm also certain I'm losing.

Hate this contest. :)

The leaderboard on the sheet is fully functional now. You can choose to sort the points column Z to A to see the current standings. I'll be updating it mostly in live time now, except the late games tonight, kid is playing roller derby and then I'll be watching the OU game on DVR.

Was casually scanning the opps team selection. Noticed corn dog doesn’t have a 9 with his Gonzaga pick.
