2009 NCAA SoWal Basketball Pick 'Em

Hubby and I are starting a pick 'em. We haven't come up with all of the rules yet. We think the deadline for this picking this week's rounds, Round 1 and Round 2, will be 11:59 PM on Wednesday night.

So be thinking of your choices for both rounds. We'll have the rules and the post out by tomorrow night.

Cool BR, thanks to you and your hubby for doing this. I hate the Vols ended up with #8 Oklahoma State even though I know nothing about them really but the people on the tournament selection show said they may have trouble with them. Whatever happens happens though. :dunno:

Rules

Rules for NCAA Basketball Pick ?Em:
Because Round 1 and Round 2 are back-to-back on Thursday through Sunday, both the Round 1 and the Round 2 picks need to be posted by 11:59 PM CDT. This means that your Round 2 picks will have to be made prior to knowing the results of Round 1.
Round 1 teams will be displayed two per line. HIGHLIGHT ONE TEAM PER LINE. Each correct pick will be worth 1 point.
Each group of four Round 1 teams, one of which will win Round 2, will be displayed on one line. HIGHLIGHT ONE TEAM PER LINE. This team will go on to the Sweet 16. Each correct pick on these lines will be worth 2 points.
The total number of possible points for this Thursday through Sunday is 64 points.
No picks can be edited or submitted after 11:59 PM CDT on Wednesday night. If you don?t play Rounds 1 and 2, you may play next week, starting with zero points. Correct picks for winners of the Sweet 16 games will be worth 4 points each. Picking the Final Four teams will be worth 8 points each. The NCAA Championship Game will be worth 32 points.
Have fun!:clap:

If there are four teams, you are to pick the sole survivor of the previous two games, who would then enter the Sweet Sixteen.

There are 65 teams that play in the NCAA Tournament. Morehead State and Alabama State play Tuesday night. The winner gets the 64th slot. That's the "play-in" team that Louisville will play

If there are 4 teams on a line, pick one.

BR...I think I'd have better luck with one of your math problems. :shock::rotfl:

I'll take what DD's having, except I'll always pick Mizzou. ;-)
