SoWal NCAA Basketball Pick 'Em

[Lady D]

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

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

You in Miss Kitty?

You know, BR et al, it might be easier to just set up a SOWAL yahoo bracket picking group. That way all you have to do is give everyone the group name and password, everyone fills in their own bracket, and you sit back and let yahoo do all the work. Just a suggestion.

...you betcha'...if I can figure out what BR is saying. You might have to help me.

...skunky...BR and Big D love this stuff. Math is the air they breathe!

BR and Big D...thanks for doing this!

Although we can do it the way we started, Skunky's suggestion was very interesting. However, it wasn't working until a few minutes ago, but now seems OK. I will have BR try it tonight and let you all know what to do.

I think the Yahoo data will all be entered and locked before the first game. The other way was going to be week-by-week. Any feedback is welcomed and we will let you know which way we go.

Good pickins!

I just tried Yahoo. It's really cool and pretty easy. You'll need to set up a Yahoo email account, but that's no big deal. You can set your profile so no one sees your email address. The results are private to tahe SoWal group that cnestg8r created. To try it, you'll need the SoWal group number. PM me if you want to try it.

The good thing about it is the nice interface and ease of use. The bad thing is that you have to make all of your picks up front. I didn't like the fact that in cnestg8r's plan, we had to pick the Round 2 teams before you knew the Round 1 winners. But that's a lot more flexible than the Yahoo game. In the Yahoo game, you have to pick every game and the NCAA champs prior to the first game this Thursday. With cnestg8r's plan, you can pick each week (not just once prior to the entire tournament), this week Round 1 and 2, next week the Great 8 and the Final Four, and the next week the semifinal teams and the NCAA champion.

:scratch:

Potential pickers, please let us know which way you want to go, assuming you want to do this as a SoWal group. Either way is okay with us.

EDIT: Here's another thing. In Yahoo you can't see what anyone else has picked until after the deadline for posting. Cuts down on plagiarism.

There was no interest in Yahoo. So we're doing it the SoWal way! The "play-in" is Morehead State because they beat Alabama State to get into the NCAA 64.

BTW Fulmer4Senate, you have some missing picks.

Here's what we have:

HIGHLIGHT ONE(1) TEAM FROM EACH ROW.
If there are two teams, they are from Round 1.
If there are four teams, you are to pick the sole survivor of the previous two games, who would then enter the Sweet Sixteen.
Picks due by 11:59 PM CDT Wednesday night.

I just want to type Morehead State one more time.

BR, my son asked me to make his picks for him in the two games he missed. He has chosen Maryland in the MD/California game and has chosen Florida State in the Fla. St./Wisconsin game. Hope this is ok.

Here are my picks. Let me know if I missed any.

HIGHLIGHT ONE(1) TEAM FROM EACH ROW.
If there are two teams, they are from Round 1.
If there are four teams, you are to pick the sole survivor of the previous two games, who would then enter the Sweet Sixteen.

BR...I am sorry, but this pick'em is so confusing and over my dense little head.
