March Madness 2024

Post by Braves »

March Madness pool for anyone who may be interested. $20 an entry (Venmo/Paypal). Scoring details & link to join below. Feel free to pass along to anyone else who may be interested!

- Points are awarded for each correct pick, increasing as the tournament progresses
- First Four = Play-in games are not included or scored
- First Round = 1 point
- Second Round = 2 points
- Sweet 16 = 4 points
- Elite 8 = 8 points
- Final Four = 16 points
- Championship = 32 points

The pool uses a seed point bonus for underdog wins ONLY. When an underdog wins, the difference between their seed and the favorite team's seed is added to the points per round. For example, if a 3 seed beats a 1 seed in the Sweet Sixteen round then 6 points will be awarded for a correct pick (4 round points + 2 seed points [3-1]).

There is no tie-breaker active for this pool. In the event of a tie, prizes will be split.

Unbelievably tough draw for Uconn. Really, 4 top 10 teams in one regional. Going to be almost impossible.

Auburn isn't better than last year and 2/3 match takes one of them out...not sure this is the toughest test for a #1.

I think FAU in round 2 is a tougher test than any other 1 will have and I'm probably higher than you on Auburn. Who knows, but it seems like a stacked regional comparatively. Give me Kentucky, Duke, Alabama any day over those.
