NCAA Pick 8 Pool

Boozie1580 · 03-13-2006, 01:56 AM

Sorry about the double thread, but I'd be willing to run both pools if there's interest. I just came across the idea for a "Pick 8" pool and I really liked it. The rules are:

Pick 8 teams.
Everytime one of your teams wins, you receive a number of points equal to the seed of the team. So picking #1 seeds obviously isn't the way to go here.

If you're in just post in here that you're in and PM me your pick list. I'll put up the summary of everyone's picks before the tourney starts.

Standings:

Twins15 (55 points) (teams still alive: UCLA, BC, Georgetown)
Abailey (50) (BC, WVU, G'Town)
Sublimity (50) (BC, G'Town)
Big Willis (49) (LSU, BC, Washington, WVU)
Bay Area Bob (49) (WVU, G'Town)
PerfectMisnomer (42) (BC)
Hammer (40) (LSU, BC)
Xenimus (37) (None)
JWay (34) (Duke, Gonzaga, G'Town)
BrewedCrew (34) (LSU)
Theasfl (33) (Texas, BC, WVU)
Blgoblue2 (33) (WVU)
Marc (30) (None)
Storgers (30) (Washington)
Andymac (26) (Wichita St.)
Rangersfan (25) (Wichita St.)
Dxgarnett (18) (Washington)
