I forget do we do a March Madness pool? I love doing the brackets even though I pick so badly each year.

We should totally do one! Especially as a group

I know Yahoo does groups for March Madness Brackets

I don't know how it's been done in the past here at FORT. One way I've done it is that everyone lists the 16 teams beginning with #16 being the team they think will win the tournament. #15 would be the second place team and so on. After each game, you receive points for the # you assigned each winning team. EXAMPLE: Say you assigned Duke #16 (

), each time Duke wins you get 16 points. If you assign Illinois #9, then each time Illinois wins, you'd get 9 points. You score nothing for losing teams. You have to choose carefully because if your higher ranked teams get knocked out early on, you're screwed. At the end of the tournament, the person with the highest score wins. Of course, there was $ involved when I did this. But we could do it for fun if it's allowed.

I've participated in a pool like that lildago. I think it's probably easier to set up a private FORT bracket pool at yahoo or espn where you fill out the entire bracket before the tournament begins and there is automatic scoring. Does anyone want to be in charge?

I can be in charge of it... if no one else wants to be that is

Maybe someone could help me too

ETA: All set up... I'll make a seperate thread for it.

Great game between Duke and Boston College! I was a little nervous towards the end but my Blue Devils pulled it off!

That was a great game lildago. And, you got the overall number one seed. Woot!
