Didn't know if I should put this in non-hockey related or here but since the baseball pool one is here I'll post it here. EDIT: No more Yahoo!, at least for March Madness. This year's pool will be through CBS. Link: qmjhl.mayhem.cbssports.com/e?ttag=BPM14_paste_cbsinvPassword is jumpshot This year you are rewarded for picking upsets - the seed of the winning team is added to the score. Ex. If the 12th seed wins a first round game, then 13 points would be credited for the Win Don't forget to please include your username in the bracket name!

I am seriously considering leaving Yahoo! for this year's March Madness Pool, as it won't allow you to submit a bracket without giving a Phone Number. They claim it's for the Billion Dollar Bracket thing, but I'm not eligible to win that, so fuck their mandatory phone thing.
I'm thinking CBS Sports. ESPN is blocked at work.

Oh really? Wasn't aware of that. We can move to CBS.

CBS has three choices for scoring:
A) No bonus (your wins score 1,2,4,8,16,32 points each in each of the first/second/third/... rounds respectively). This is like we've always done
B) Add seed (The seed of the winning team is added to the correct pick total. Ex. If the 12th seed wins a first round game, then 13 points would be credited for the Win.)
c) Multiply seed ( The seed of the winning team is multiplied by the correct pick total. Ex. If the 12th Seed Wins a second round game then 24 points would be credited for the Win.
I like B.

Pitt has as many FGs as Colorado has points in the first half. They also have made more FGs than Colorado has attempted. Watch out Gators!

Hahaha I can't imagine anyone has a perfect bracket so far.
Edit I don't mean in our pool. I mean anywhere.

One thing I don't like on the CBS bracket compared to the Yahoo we used in the past is that you don't see the scores, game times, etc. on the bracket itself.

Yeah I'm really disappointed in CBS so far. It was very laggy/gimmicky when I was trying to fill it out. I couldn't just copy off my other CBS one that I did with my friends. It already screwed me up because I had picked ND State in that one.
But yeah I love seeing the stats on how many brackets are still alive.

Tough weekend for Viper...He's still in first place but he lost his two final teams. What a crazy March Madness it's been so far.

With Florida's loss this weekend, Viper is officially the winner. Not our best year but I don't think many people predicted UK vs. UConn in finals.
Except maybe the idiot who got a Kentucky Championship tattoo before the tournament even started.
Moncton vs. Rouyn-Noranda, should be a good game haha.
