AGM March Madness Pool?

Posted by SSreporters

Hey, the big dance is coming up! So....it's time to go to the pool! It's very simple...once the bracket is up, it's picking time.

So within the next 2 weeks I'll set up a template for the AGM March Madness Pool. Once the brackets are out, you start picking. The only difference with this pool, is that you don't select every game all in one bunch.

Here are the rules:


[edit] Point Value For All Correct Picks

Round 1 = 1 point (That includes the play-in game.)

Round 2 = 2 points

Sweet 16 = 3 points

Elite 8 = 4 points

Final 4 = 5 points

National Championship = 6 points

Picking a winning lower seed in which the seed differential between the 2 teams is 5 or greater (e.g, you pick an 11 seed to beat a 6 seed and the 11 seed wins) = 3 bonus points


Please note there are no points lost for any incorrect prediction.



[edit] Picking

You don't have to pick every game in one shot. For example, you can pick all of the games from round x and then submit your round y picks at a later time as long as it is before tipoff of the first game of the first day of round y.

Any game that was picked after tipoff was scheduled will be discounted.

[edit] If you Win

What? You were expecting a gift? Umm....you'll be known as the Bracketmaster and the greatest AGM prediction maker of all time?


[edit] What's the Limit of People?

I'm looking around the idea of sky is the limit...and like it! Anyone can join.


[edit] Where Do I Pick?

Comments section in said template.


[edit] Any Fancy Graphics?

Help me Pean!



Any questions?

And if Pean, DNL, Roblefko, or anyone tech savvy enough and knows AGM code very well could help me make a decent template it would be greatly appreciated.

Don't count on Pean for anything. Providence just beat UCONN for the second time this season, so if he's smart he's busy making the necessary calls to get into the Witness Protection Program.

Its funny SSR, you mention how many tournaments George Mason has been in since beating UCONN. Same number of Pac-10 teams that will reach the sweet 16 this year.

Jay Bilas says the ACC will have 34 spots in the tournament, that's how confident he is.

Digger thinks that Notre Dame will win the national championship.

And the NIT.

And the World Series of Poker.

everyone will need to create a page for their bracket, and I can just delete the page once SSR is done scoring, and protect the pages at tipoff, or another admin can if I'm not around

And stop using templates as work pages. Templates are so that you can but {{ }} around the page name and it will appear on the page, or {{subst: }} and you'll get the code from said page
