Alright, seeing how everyone is enjoying the Hockey Pool I thought we might like to try a March Madness bracket as well. As some of you may know March Madness is college basketball, which may sound boring but I find doing the bracket can make it entertaining. It starts in two weeks and the major portion of it happens over a Thursday-Sunday. There are 64 teams that get wittled to I think 16 that weekend which makes for a lot of games and some can actually be pretty exciting if you combine some beers.
I have created a group on CBS Sportsline. I think that it can be accessed here:
http://thegongshow.mayhem.sportsline.com/First time users will have to sign in. It should be self explanatory but if you need any help let me know. Once registered I am hoping that you go to our group's page and are asked for a password. In any case the info is:
Group Name: The Gong Show
Password: gong
If you guys can let me know how it all works out that would be great. Once you are signed up I think using the link I put above should take you straight to the group page. The picks aren't open until next Sunday. But at that time just put in who you think will win right to the end and wait for the games to begin. I think each round has different point weights and I believe the seed is weighted in there too. Suffice it to say if you get your picks right you will get points.
I know that most of you have no idea who is good and bad with college basketball, but neither do I and that is the best part. It means we all have a chance. All the teams are ranked by seed (1-16 in each of the four "divisions"). Therefore it is pretty easy to see who is "better" going in. No research required (though I suppose it couldn't hurt). Just pick and pray that your random picks are better than the next guys random picks.
Hope you all join. Let me know if there are any problems etc.
