Fan Forum NCAA Tournament Pool: Join In the Madness!
 Hey college basketball fans! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] It’s that time of year again: to fill out your Tourney brackets and experience the triumph and heartbreak of the NCAA Tournament. As we have done in years past, we’re going to continue the “office pool” tradition by having the 4th annual Fan Forum NCAA Tournament “Pick the Winners” game. For those of you not familiar with this game, it’s pretty simple. All you have to do is download a Tournament bracket sheet and pick which teams you think will advance. For each game you pick correctly, you will receive a point total based on the round it occurred. Here’s the scoring breakdown: 1 pt.= for each correct 1st round pick 2 pts.= for each correct 2nd round pick 3 pts.= for each correct Sweet 16 pick 4 pts.= for each correct Final Four pick 5 pts.= for picking the national champion We’ll keep a tally of the overall scores at the end of each round. The person with the most points at the end of the NCAA Tournament will ultimately be crowned champion. Sound easy? If you’re a big college basketball fan, or even a casual fan who likes to make friendly wagers, make sure to join in and post your picks. It’s fun and easy! The more people we have, the better the competition. If you have any questions, feel free to post them at this board. I’ll be glad to help out.

I think I got this right, who plays who and all..if not, well my champion is going to be the same no matter who they played..UNC is my favourite team, so thats why I had them beating texes, in a game that could go either way..
--St. Louis Kentucky Washington Providence Kansas Boston Coll. Georgia Tech Michigan St. Gonzaga --East Rutherford St. Joseph’s Charlotte Florida Wake Forest Wisconsin Pitt. Memphis Oklahoma St. --Atlanta Duke Arizona Illinois Cincinnati UNC Texas Louisville Mississippi St. --Phoenix Stanford Southern Illinois Syracuse Maryland Vanderbilt North Carolina St. DePaul UConn ----2nd Round --St. Louis Kentucky Kansas Georgia Tech Gonzaga --East Rutherford St. Joseph’s Wake Forest Pitt. Oklahoma St. --Atlanta Duke Cincinnati UNC Mississippi St. --Phoenix Stanford Maryland North Carolina St. UConn ----Elite Eight Kentucky Georgia Tech Wake Forest Pitt. Duke UNC Stanford UConn ----Final Four Georgia Tech Pitt. Duke Stanford ----National Championship Pitt. Standord -----Champion Pitt. I really really like Pitt. this year, I wish they didn't have to play Georgia Tech, before the championship, I really liked both of those teams.. __________________

Excellent! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] We have a lot of people joining in the craziness this year. It should make for a competitive game.
If more people want to join before the first tournament game, you are more than welcome to. __________________

Hey Azahar! [img]smilies/wave.gif[/img] It's nice to see you join in! You didn't miss the deadline, so don't worry.
As for Gonzaga, I'm not really a big fan. Actually, I have serious doubts about how far they will go in the Tournament, but that's just how my picks worked out. I was very iffy about putting them in the Final Four, let alone the championship game, but I figured...why not go out on a SERIOUS limb? In actuality, I'm waiting for them to crap out in the first round. [img]smilies/lol.gif[/img] It would just be my luck. __________________

The NCAA Tournament has officially started, so no more entries will be allowed in this game.
Let the best player win! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] __________________
