OK, so I’ve had a bad day. Not only is my team out but I’m also bringing up the rear in my own pool! Yuck. But hey. Lotta time left. Don’t count me out! Here are the results of day one:

Points are awarded by round. Each win in round 1 is worth 1 point. Round 2 is worth 2, and so on.

Guesswho - 14
Joseph - 14
Scott Bakalar - 13
GoHeelsGo - 13
Paul Ackerman - 12
Jerid Kurtz - 12
Eric Vessels #2 - 12
Eric Vessels #1 - 11
Jason S. - 9

Good luck tomorrow! Anyone else bummed that Belmont couldn’t hold on? ;-)

Not science. Art. You are experiencing what is known as the random newbie effect. remember, 2 points in round 2 and so on. so keep it up skippie!

BTW, your random method also seems to include picking mostly higher seeded teams. ;-)

@4: LOL! That was hard to watch…especially having given them some love in picking them. Worst 8/9 I’ve seen EVER!

Amazingly after 3 rounds, I’m still in third place. Not for long though.

My advice to everybody is to watch out for Joseph in the final 2 rounds.
