As yet another march passes without our beloved alma mater involved we turn to the best alternative, gambling

i did my best to find a site that protects individual's identities (cbs where everyone's bracket has to be First Name / Last Name) and doesn't have a northeastern night school quality scoring system (looking at you espn that gives 1 point per pick per round). yahoo appears to be the best of both. since it's 2021 and no one actually has a yahoo email address you're able to log in via your gmail account. once logged in you can click in the upper right corner and change your display name by clicking on name > settings > editing it to your handle > save.

scoring:
doing round + seed upset bonus
Rd 1: 2 + (seed difference)
Rd 2: 3 + (seed difference)
Sweet 16: 5 + (seed difference)
Elite 8: 8 + (seed difference)
Final 4: 13 + (seed difference)
National Champ: 21 + (seed difference)

EXAMPLE: if you pick yukon (7) over maryland (10) in the first round. you'd get 2 points for the right pick. if you picked the reverse and that happens you'd get 5 points

ADDITIONALLY, you have the ability to earn 20 additional points if you identify a team that is removed from tournament because of a wuflu outbreak. the tournament must have started so any team must have outbreak after 12:15 on Friday and must still be in the tournament. you can list the team you identify below.

anything else we'll make it up as we go along as usual

Yeah foot... while you’ve been away nospace has been lying about not being a Mormon (because he totally is). His Mormonism prevented him from shamrock shakes on st paddy’s day, so you know he must be like Tom-cruise-Scientology level Mormon

That is not why I told DGF, "no they are not."

You need to come to the meetings. And while you are there, recreate another bracket tre if for no other reason than to read the name of DGF's bracket.

You are not going to make me go back and look to see if anyone else who picked Illinois also had the same final 4 as you, are you?

Well well, we already have our first OT game.

And the CAA's participant in the tourney is pretty much OUT and its just barely past half time.
