Here's a little help for you. I know I'll need it.

The do's and don'ts of filling out your bracket

**knvb** · 03-18-2003, 02:27 PM

Shamrock, a little side bet?

**Captain Shamrock** · 03-18-2003, 02:33 PM

Sure, let's keep small. Say $1000?

**knvb** · 03-18-2003, 02:39 PM

I was thinking more along the lines of a case of beer. I hear that's plenty when OD isn't around.

sensei_hanson · 03-18-2003, 02:45 PM

Care to make it really interesting gentlemen? Make it a three-way wager with the winner taking home two cases of brew.

March Madness rules. War Salukis.

You're a NC fan so you obviously know nothing... Sure. I'm down wit-dat.

sensei_hanson · 03-18-2003, 03:14 PM

Cool.

Dude, WHAT DOES MINE SAY!!!!

sensei_hanson · 03-18-2003, 04:13 PM

You guys aren't too fcuking annoying.

Here are a few good links for NCAA braketology, if you're at all interested:

CBS Sportsline's Step-by-Step Bracketology

Individual regional breakdowns by ESPN.com's college guru, Andy Katz

CNNSI.com's team capsules and tourney page

Teamrankings.com - a statistical site to all the odds-on favourites to reach certain rounds of the NCAA tourney

Good luck.

**Captain Shamrock** · 03-18-2003, 04:23 PM

Good links, Sensei. I am going to have to re-submit my picks after looking at all this information. Regs, can I do that?......

Captain

**Regs** · 03-18-2003, 04:34 PM

Yes, you can do that... if the system doesn't let you re-enter, let me know and I'll delete the first one...

I should note that for everyone, you can only enter one team. If you enter multiple teams, your LAST entered team will be the one considered for the pool.

Furthermore, entries with unrecognized TTP Usernames will be deleted for obvious reasons.

Good luck,

~Regs.

**Captain Shamrock** · 03-20-2003, 01:07 AM

I'm going with my original picks, which have not been researched. I'm too lazy to look at all the links........BTW, I'm pulling out of the competition for the case of beer. I can't afford another loss at this point. I will leave it up to Sensei and KNVB.........

Captain

**Regs** · 03-20-2003, 10:50 AM

It's all set, see the first post in this thread to get to the pool standings, picks, etc. Note that there is still a link to to pick sheet... no further entries will be accepted.

Stats:

21 entries
19 Better Bastards playing for $51
2 TTPers in it for pride alone (One Dart & The Power)

Giddy up.

**Yoda** · 03-20-2003, 11:08 AM

Pool is up and everyone's picks are listed.

Looks like 9 people have picked the soon to be champion.

Go Wildcats

HOS,
Decided by skeet shooting.
You obviously have the advantage with all the practice you've had.

ABC has pulled the plug on their national coverage so we can see a green screen with flashes of light screaming across it.

Kudos for Sportsnet for doing a pretty good job thus far, but man, it is going to be hard for them to keep tabs on all the games.

Gonzaga looks good....too bad it's a year late, you bitches. That loss to Wyoming last season still isn't sitting well with me.
