Conference tournaments are starting tonight, so it must be time for the annual tourney pool. I have the spreadsheet on my other computer and will post the rules once I fire that one up. It is a good chance to earn some LG bragging rights.

The brackets are picked and the games begin for real on Thursday. Here are the rules, for each game you pick a winner. You have to project that out over the course of the tournament. So pick round 1, round 2, round 3, the Final Four, the Finals, and the eventual champion. Scoring is as follows:

Round 1 and 2
Each correct pick will be awarded the number of points that they are seeded. For example, if you pick Wichita State and they win, since they are a 7 seed you would get 7 points. If you pick Kentucky and they win, since they are a 1 seed you would get 1 point.

Round 3 (Sweet 16)
Each correct pick will be awarded 5 points.

Round 4 (Elite Eight)
Each correct pick will be awarded 8 points.

Round 5 (Final Four)
Each correct pick will be awarded 10 points.

Round 6 (Finals)
Each correct pick will be awarded 12 points.

If you pick the correct elite 8, you will be awarded 10 bonus points. If yo pick the correct Final Four, you will be awarded 5 bonus points. Highest number of points wins the pool.

Good luck to all.

6 still in the running for the Elite 8 bonus and 11 still in the run for the Final Four bonus. FYI, no one has ever collected either bonus.

Iowa State cost me the $1 million perfect bracket pool quite early. Thanks Cyclones, your wind smelled like a fart.

There were no 12 seeds advancing this year, I wonder how many years it has been since that happened?

First round results:

LakerLanny - 122
Laker_Lifer_25 - 117
W_lakers4life_W - 105
Vishnu - 105
VLF - 102
fiendishoc - 101
Chronicle - 98
FreakofNature - 97
Mege - 91
bonkers - 90
Alpha - 84
Dave20 - 75

Don't be concerned if you are near the bottom at this point, the ones on top likely hit some big underdogs, and that usually doesn't last long.

Should I take that to mean you are not on board with my San Diego State to the Final 4 Pick?
