@Undisciplined with the upset of the round. 13 points is a strong start.

One more bold pick and I'll be able to just ride Duke the rest of the way.

Assuming Duke doesn't get upset of course.

I guess I'd have to switch to "Flordia", or one of the other top seeds.

Bold pick... I think that game could swing either way easily

Someone, I won't name names, (@coinsreporter) just had to pick a team playing at 9:25pm tonight when we have round of 32 games starting at 12pm tomorrow. I guess it was his strategy to make everyone rush to make a pick when they wake up Saturday morning. Haha

😂 I did pick Oklahama. Didn't I?

And where's the pick 'em post for round 32? If it were there, I most certainly would've picked.

My strategy, yeah, but I won't complain if you apply it back on me.

How can I post the round of 32 games when we have people who pick teams playing at 9:25pm haha.

I will post it a bit later when we get some more clarity. Probably this evening.

Wait are we supposed to chose a team for each round or each day? I am blanking lol

Yes it is like a survivor pool but no eliminations, instead you play all the way through but accrue points based on wins and the seeds of those wins.

So @OneOneSeven won last night with 10 seed Arkansas and picked up 11 points for that. 1 point for the win and 10 points for the seed. However, as we progress into the later rounds (16 and beyond) the point value for a win starts to double. Which means as we get to the Elite 8, final four and finals picking a winner becomes more important than their seed. Assuming of course some 16 seed doesn't make it all the way to final.

Alrighty so is there another post then for the next time we pick?

10 sats \ 1 reply \ @grayruby 21 Mar

I will post it later today. I want to get some results in and more clarity on the second round matchups/times.
