does anyone want to do this? if more than three people want to play we can work up the official rules, but it would be like the NFL survivor where you can only pick a team once in the whole tournament. what needs to be decided is how many picks you have to make each round.
---------------
OKAY HERE ARE THE OFFICIAL RULES:
you have to pick two winners per day for the first two rounds, and then pick one winner per round from there on out. you can only pick a team to win once in the tournament. the last person to advance wins. in the event of a tie, the tiebreaker will go to the person that has the highest average seeded pick for all rounds.
picks for each day must be posted before the first game of that day.] 3/16/2011 10:44:59 PM

Why not? I'm in.
(if you're taking suggestions I'd do 10 picks, 6 picks, 4 picks, 2 picks, 1 pick, 1 pick)

holy shit that's a ton of picks isn't it?
i stole this idea from the BS report, and they said that they did two picks per day, so four per round, in the first two rounds.
but you know, we have to finalize this tonight.

Hmmm.. but the thing is two per day is for the first round is two 1's over two 16's.. I mean that's a lock.
Your call though.. need a tiebreaker for sure.

Shouldn't it be for whoever has the lower seeded picks? It's harder to pick an upset or the winner of an 8-9 game than to pick a high seed, obviously.

ALLOW ME TO CLARIFY:
the tiebreaker is the highest numerical value of the average seed. or sum of the seeds, if you'd rather. so for tiebreaker purposes, picking a 16 seed is worth more than picking a 1 seed.] 3/16/2011 11:49:08 PM
