+ECplus3 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 You're awesome, baby!! Selection Sunday is just 4 days away!!! 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 next 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 package from me. (There may be other prizes as well) Quote Link to comment

rickctroop13 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 (edited) Um... What's a Bracket? Fill out all the winners on a 'ladder' for the entire tourney, this is last years- http://www.ncaa.com/brackets/basketball-men/d1/2010 games are weighted more heavily (more points) as tourney progresses Edited March 9, 2011 by rickctroop13 Quote Link to comment

eseurat Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I started choosing my picks, but got confused....we just pick for the first round and then the second round etc. the following weeks, right? Quote Link to comment
rickctroop13 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 got to fill it out completely before the games start, too easy if you only got to pick from winners. Quote Link to comment
+Harwell5 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I completed mine yesterday and saved it. Is there anything special I should do? Do I submit it somewhere or is it auto saved to the board when I save it? Will it be locked in when the boards close? Just want to make sure I did it correctly. Have never done one online before.

+ECplus3 Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 When you are filling out your bracket, you must complete all levels right up to choosing the tournament winner and filling in the tie-break score boxes. The progress bar should say '63 of 63'. At that point, hit the 'Save Bracket' button and you are done. If you wish (and you live in the US or Canada) you can submit your bracket to enter Yahoo's bracket contest. Then you are done. After tip-off on Thursday you can't change anything on your bracket.

+goosefraba1 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Could Morehead State be a bracket buster? Up 15-5 on a #4 seed Quote Link to comment
+LadyBee4T Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Darn. I'm not home and so I go out to buy internet access to make several changes in my bracket only to find I'm too late. Well I guess they always say to go with your first answer LOL Quote Link to comment
+goosefraba1 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Looks like Morehead messed up the next couple of rounds for me... I had Louisville to the Elite 8... At least Morehead is a local team. Quote Link to comment
+goosefraba1 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Wow... next round Morehead St. a 13 seed will be playing Richmond a 12 seed. That has to be a first. Quote Link to comment
+LewisClan77 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Next round starts here really quick, and I am sittin on top. WOOHOO Quote Link to comment
rickctroop13 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Been quiet on this thread,,,,, tooooo quiet! Lotsa folks in shock, I guess! Quote Link to comment

+UFgatorgirl Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 can't believe all the #1's are gone. they said it is only the 3rd time since the 1970's. what a tourny my bracket is soooo over Quote Link to comment
+goosefraba1 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Yep... I'm bottom of the Totem poll :C Too bad there isn't a college football tourney.... I would be all over that. Quote Link to comment
+ECplus3 Posted March 28, 2011 Author Share Posted March 28, 2011 I haven't gone through all the brackets yet, but the only one in the top 15 still having a shot at picking the National Champion is Mausion. At least I have the knowledge that Sir Charles Barkley's bracket is worse than mine. Quote Link to comment
rickctroop13 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 (edited) I haven't gone through all the brackets yet, but the only one in the top 15 still having a shot at picking the National Champion is Mausion. At least I have the knowledge that Sir Charles Barkley's bracket is worse than mine. I'm 8th with UCONN as Champ, but bonus points are my downfall... even if Huskies go all the way, they're the best remaining seed so not a chance to pick up enough ground... best I can do is 79 points and a tie for 3rd... (according to the scenario generator) Edited March 29, 2011 by rickctroop13 Quote Link to comment
rickctroop13 Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 (edited) from silence here, I gather there has been concession/surrender? I can still root for my Huskies, and satisfaction of most correct picks for group if they do it... Can UCONN double up again? Edited April 2, 2011 by rickctroop13 Quote Link to comment

(according to the scenario generator) Even if UCONN wins the nat. champ., the best I can move up to is 5th. I believe whoever's in first now will take first no matter what happens. The bonus points were my downfall as well. I forgot that the scoring settings included the bonus points or I would've picked a few more upsets at the start of the tourney. Quote Link to comment

I'm in 5th with UCONN being my only team left in the game (not either of my top picks); I'm not sure what my chances are but I'm sure they aren't very good to win. Quote Link to comment
