Four seeds are still up for grabs. Two 16 seeds and two 11 seeds. Those games will be played tonight and tomorrow night, so if you want to pick one of those teams in the round of 64 please wait until the first four results are in. Otherwise all other teams are available to be chosen.
Pick one team for the round of 64. 1 point will be awarded for a win and points will be awarded according to the winning team's seed value (1 point for 1 seed, 2 points for 2 seed.... 16 points for 16 seed). For example, if you select a 4 seed and they win, you will be awarded 5 total points this round (1 for the win and 4 for the seed value).

Friendly reminder there will be a quick turnaround between the Round of 64 and 32 with games ending around midnight tonight and starting at noon tomorrow. I will post this evening opening submissions for the next round but we won't have the full schedule until all games are completed tonight. Considering the short turnaround I will accept picks after games have started but they need to be in prior to tipoff for the team you are choosing.
Thank ya sir!
Thanks! I will take another Bulldogs team for the second round : Drake
I will note that for when I open up picks
Ok thanks, due to the quick turnaround I did not want to miss it as I will be busy tomorrow.

There are still a bunch of games going. I will post something in a couple hours with the matchups we have already set.

Kansas (7)
(13) High point
noted
Do I get bonus points for going all out? Haha
Yeah you get 13 points for your 13th seed. If they win. That's a big if.
It will be a high point of my picking career
Friendly reminder: Still waiting on picks for @WeAreAllSatoshi @Wumbo @BlokchainB @Turdinthepunchbowl

@OneOneSeven you can make your first round pick on this post.
I'll go with Arkansas (10) !
You are taking on my kiddo @supercyclone. He has Kansas.
Oh dang, lets go!
I've never been too into sports, although I played a lot growing up, but March Madness and college basketball I've always thought were the most fun to watch.
Don't see my home team I used to root for ranked this year haha
It is always a fun tournament.
Texas A&M (4)
noted
Michigan
noted
BYU(6)
noted
8/9 Uconn/Oklahama
Which team are you choosing? You can't choose both.
I thought you gave someone the option to choose both #917413
That was only for the teams playing in the first four which is a small tournament to determine the last 4 seeds. These teams are already in the tournament and facing each other so you can't have both.
North Carolina/San Diego State the winner of this game got the 11 seed but they still need to play the 6 seed to win points for gnilma. So gnilma was just choosing whoever won and got the 11 seed.
Ok. Give me Oklahama.
Noted
I can pick the same team multiple times right?
I have UCSD going to the Sweet Sixteen so I feel pretty sure about them! I’ll do twice in a row if that’s allowed!
