The Real Deal

Now that you have a pretty good idea what the people ahead of you or on your heels picked; "Johnny, What are we playing for?" Last year was First - $350, 2nd - $200, 3rd - $100 and 4th - $50. This year there is an extra $120 to spread around. Scott and I have had many discussions on how to divide this. I have decided to go a little deeper and try to make sure that both schools get their piece of the pie.

First place - $420
Second place - $210
Third place - $105
Fourth place - $60
Fifth place - $25

I haven't figured out all of the possibilities but I would guess that this leaves 50 or 60 people with a shot at finishing somewhere in the money. Enjoy the games today. Go Huskies!
 

What the heck?

Nobody is leaving comments, the Elite Eight is four #1's, 2 #2's and 2 #3's, the fun is rapidly waning from this thing....and before anyone gets too excited about the standings there are still 36 points left on the table and a boatload of people who pick all top seeds can get them all. I'm not bitter. These aren't sour grapes. OK, yes I am and yes they are. A bunch (no pun intended) of you were 4 for 4 tonight and still have all four Final Four teams alive.

Diane Hannon - LOUISVILLE, Pitt, Oklahoma, UConn

Bruce Andrews - NORTH CAROLINA, Pitt, Louisville, Memphis

Correction

Chris Hutwelker earned 9 points last night but I only gave him credit for 6. His Nova pick was hidden by all of the red X's in that region! Chris now has 61 points.

102.4

That's my temperature...I feel like crap and will only be posting very abbreviated standings tonight. I will do my best to get them up before games begin tomorrow. I was 8 for 8 today and couldn't even enjoy it! Scott was a huge help scoring pools today.

43
Steve Archibald - but I already have 3 wrong tomorrow
J. R. B. - feels good huh JB?
Kiley Flanagan - beginner's luck! :-)

42
Alan Trotochaud - 7 for 8 today
Marty Bissonnette - big move with an 8 for 8
Nancy Mamunes - and another

41
Tracey Leavens - slipping
David Luckenbach - has already lost 2 Elite 8 teams
Bruce Andrews - only one built in loss
K. T. B. - K8
Brian Krepcio - perfect today but not tomorrow
Dave Gionfriddo - ditto

From these top 12 there are 5 UCONNs to win it all, 3 North Carolinas, 2 PITTs, one Memphis (me) and one Oklahoma (Nancy). It's probably a little early to start thinking along these lines but just thought you might like to know.



good night pool!
 

End of Round One

Anyone who went to bed missed a great pair of final games, one double OT and one single OT with a 12 knocking off a 5 for the third time this year!....this is what March Madness is all about!

Tracey Leavens wasn't perfect on the second day but she was good enough to stay in first place. Alan wasn't perfect either but he rallied late with both Siena and Wisconsin to move into second place all by himself.

Please double check your scores. Let's hear some comments...talk some smack...make a prediction...

There are 164 entries this year!

Reminder that 2nd round games are worth 2 points each.
