Surprised no threads really on this so far?
Games start at 12, so submit before then, or even after the games start if those were honestly your picks. No prizes, just interwebz respect.
Scoring system for each game is (Round)*(Seed)
1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12 points for 1st, 2nd, Sweet 16, Elite 8, Final Four, and Championship Game respectively.
Seed points are (1/2)*seed rounding up. So 1pt for a 1 or 2 seed, 2pts for a 3 or 4 seed, 3pts for a 5 or 6 seed, and so-on and so-on. That means that the 8-9 game matters more than the 2-15 game, etc.
Here’s my picks:
2nd Round
Louisville 16/8/4
Ohio State
Arizona 16
Wake Forest
West Virginia 16/8

Bold moves? Sure. But I figure you gotta get kinda lucky to win these things, so I just picked all of the upsets I thought were somewhat likely.
If you want in, just join in with the teams and how far you think they’ll go, as I did.
