+ECplus3 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 (edited) The brackets are set! Is your team in? Think you can predict the winner of this year's tourney? Want to win a coin? Just send me an email and I'll invite you into the Yahoo Fantasy group I have created: Geocoin Madness Points will be awarded for each correct result predicted, weighted for the round. Bonus points will be awarded for each upset correctly predicted, also weighted for the round. You must have your bracket set by tipoff on Thursday! So get your email in to me right away so I can invite you into the pool. Winner of the pool will receive a coin from me. Edited March 16, 2009 by Flying Spaghetti Monster Link to comment

+teamhaynes Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Hey Hey DJ... I read a lot but don't post. You should join anyway... I am pretty lousy at picking teams, but it will be fun... My first cointest. Link to comment
+steel city babes Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I am in.... HUM....I wonder who I will pick to win it all....... Link to comment
+FScout Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Sorry to be so ignorant but what does it mean "brackets are set"? What kind of tourney? And do you have to be part of a team to enter? Link to comment
+ECplus3 Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 Sorry to be so ignorant but what does it mean "brackets are set"? What kind of tourney? And do you have to be part of a team to enter? March Madness is one of the names given to the NCAA Men's Division I Basketball tournament. 64 teams are selected to play in an elimination-style tournament over the next three weeks, culminating in a championship game on April 6th. The 'bracket' is the diagrammatic representation of the series of games played during the tournament, named as such because it appears to be a large number of interconnected brackets. To enter my cointest, you just have to ask for an invite, and then predict the winners of all the games. You will be awarded points for each game guessed correctly, and bonus points for correctly guessing upsets (a lower seeded team beating a higher seeded team). The player with the most points at the end of the tournament wins my coin. As of this posting, tipoff is in 2 days, 5 hours, 6 minutes, and 25 seconds Link to comment
+teamhaynes Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Only 4 players so far.... C'mon folks.... Link to comment
+UFgatorgirl Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 i'd play, but i am bad at guessing. besides my beloved gators are not playing. Link to comment
+ECplus3 Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share Posted March 18, 2009 The last team is set as Morehead St. defeats Alabama St in the play-in game last night. Honestly, I couldn't care either way, but it is a shame that we won't hear the name "Grlenntys Chief Kickingstallionsims Jr." mentioned in Friday night's broadcast! Link to comment
+The Fossillady Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 My bracket is ready. Let the fun begin. Link to comment
+FScout Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Thank you Chuck for explaining March Madness. I thought it was a geocaching event or maybe a mission, didn't know what. Shows what a dummy I am. Email sent. Link to comment
+ECplus3 Posted March 19, 2009 Author Share Posted March 19, 2009 Not at all! Not everyone is familiar with the lingo! We have 15 participants -- including myself -- but only 10 brackets filled out. There is only 4 hours, 16 minutes and 30 seconds to tipoff, so get your brackets filled out!!! And don't think you are too late to request an invite! I'll be watching my email all morning. So get your emails in to me. The more the merrier!!!!! Link to comment
ELTADA Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I know nothing about basketball and used the ever-popular "hey, I like that name" technique of picking the winners. Will be fun to follow though. Thanks for organizing this E&CPlus3! Link to comment
+UFgatorgirl Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 ok i randomly picked people. we'll see how i do. GO GATORS!!!! oh yeah they are in the NIT. they do play tonight. good luck everyone. Link to comment

+geocachingdragon Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I missed out on this tread otherwise i would have done a pick sheet as well. I'm in for next year chuck. I am running my own group on Sportsnet I love the madness . Link to comment
+seekerfamily Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Sorry we didn't see this one in time. We have our picks, 11 of 12 right so far. Seekerfamily Link to comment
+ECplus3 Posted March 20, 2009 Author Share Posted March 20, 2009 Western Kentucky??? Western Kentucky!!!??? Congrats to Tha Saint for picking that one! The first round is half over and there have been some great action. A few people have jumped into an early lead, but don't anybody despair! Today could really change things, and the later rounds are worth more points. It is still anybody's game. Still, I wish I had let my wife set my brackets. In our personal pool, she's 15 of 16... including the Western Kentucky game! Link to comment
