Note that for the eight games today, four are unanimous picks. Also true for tomorrow's games. It will be more difficult to move up the ladder.
When do I gotta pick again? I'm so confused. God help me.
...just don't let me pick for you again! I love being in the basement with you, DD!
You're right.There's a lot of "M" words in that part of the brackets.
Maryland sure is not playing well, not what I expected. And Vasquez needs to get going, he is supposedly their good scorer, he has to pick it up. Even though early on it looks like Memphis is going to win this game, I won't pick them, even if it does cost me a miss. I do not care for them.

So it's not too late to play because games in each successive round are worth exponentially-increasing points.
In general, Round N is worth 2^(N-1) points where N is in the set of integers between 1 and 6. ;-)
Correct picks for winners of the Sweet 16 games will be worth 4 points each. Correct picks for winners of the Elite 8 games will be worth 8 points. Correct picks for winners of the Final 4 games will be worth 16 points. A correct pick for the championship game will be worth 32 points.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!

You'll pick the winners of Round 3 (Sweet 16), each win worth 4 points, and Round 4 (Elite 8), each win worth 8 points.
BTW anyone can join the pool for Rounds 3 and 4.
Well, that's just as clear as mud.
What the heck is a pool? You have to remember who you're dealing with here. BR, just tell me what day I have to pick and post the games I gotta pick from. K?
The pool -- the pick 'em.Well, that's just as clear as mud.
After tomorrow's games cnestg8r will post the next two rounds. Your picks need to be in by 11:59 PM CDT Wednesday night.
Easy enough? Just ignore the math. I was indulging myself.
