What the heck???


Someone usurps me, AND has the audacity to use lame straight scoring?

No reward for correct picking upsets?

A shameful bracket competition. Guess I won't be going for the 4-peat this year.

Like Jordan, I will ride off into the sunset on the back of my three-peat domination, only to return again next year, a sad shell of my former self.

Yahoo! Default - Traditional scoring system with a heavier weighting on later rounds. Works well with Seed Difference bonuses


I prefer the straight but will play whatever the majority is.

Ahem, RIF. I will change the scoring if you want me to. I asked how everyone wanted it scored and no one has responded. How would you like the scoring?

Bonus points for picking upsets, bonus points for picking late tournament game winners, and of course, the champion.

It's worked VERY well. Last year came down to the tie-breaker at the end of me picking UCONN to win it all as dixie and I finished with exactly the same amount of points.

Done.

Instead of "Will", I went with "Will 3-Time Defending CHAMP" as my bracket name.


Too subtle?
