The Game - Pick nine teams in the tournament

The Goal - Accumulate the most actual points scored by your teams during the entire tournament

The Catch - Your nine teams have to meet the following criteria: One #1 seed, two teams seeded #2, #3 or #4, two teams seeded #5, #6, #7 or #8, two teams seeded #9, #10, #11 or #12 and two teams seeded #13, #14, #15 or #16

The contest is for the entire tournament. Thus, if you are selecting any teams playing in the First Round, your entry - posted to this thread - is due by the time their game starts. Otherwise, all entries are due by the tip of the first game on Thursday morning. If you put in an entry then make any changes, you need to check the "Edit" box when modifying your post.

Sounds intriguing. Might give it a go. Your idea, or has this format been used in the past?

I've played in one for about the last three years. One of my friends found it somewhere. Pretty interesting to watch unfold - especially with the extra four teams now.

What do you mean by points?

I'm guessing points scored in a game, but I could be wrong.

 
So you can pick any team between #5 and #8, etc., or it has to be a #5 and a #8. I think you're saying the former, but just wanted to be clear.

 
I'll give it a go.

#1 Florida

2-4: Louisville and Wisconsin

5-8: North Carolina and UCONN

9-12: Oklahoma St. and Harvard

13-16: UL-Lafayette and Tulsa

1-Arizona

2-Villanova/Syracuse

3- VCU/UMass

4- Okie State/NEBRASKETBALLL

5-New Mexico State/Tulsa

 
I'm anticipating this may be popular, is there going to be a running total of everyone's scores, or is it just going to get totaled at the end?

I've got a Google Doc set up that I'll link to when I get the entries in. I'll try to keep it updated as the games finish but for sure at the end of each day. So you'll be able to see the current scores and who has how many teams remaining.
