Boy, if you like chalk, this is your bracket.
(for number x/number y, x represents points earned, y points created)
T-1st dballisloose (54/182): In great shape, Elite 8 entirely intact.
T-1st Sup (54/170): Picking Wake Forest to go to the Final 4 will hurt him down the stretch, but still in decent standing if Memphis can roll on.
T-3rd Montezuma's Revenge (53/181): Like dballisloose, also has an entirely intact Elite 8.
T-3rd: Me (53/177): Have UCLA in the Elite 8. Oh boy was that smart.
T-3rd: CALumbus Bear (53/169): Washington in the Final 4. Eep.
T-6th: HolmoePhobe, Send It In Jerome, GoAs!, and our awesome Cal Dancer DancingDoc! (52/180): Intact Elite 8. If the tournament continues to provide minimal drama, look for these four to catapult to the top.
10th: OhManGoAs (51/179): Same as the 6th place people.
T-11th at 50: Notable CGB personalities include HOUSE66, racsan and *shudder* Twist.
T-19th at 49: Includes ragnarok, royrules22, Ohio Bear, sharkbit12, sactownxsi, MoscowDoug, markdash, and one of the two BeastModes, the other one being in 105th place.
(If anyone wants to claim their bracket, please tell me in the comments and I'll acknowledge you in future recaps! We all know the Internet is for acknowledgement.)
And it goes on like that. Shouldn't be any real separation until next weekend!
Of course, in the moderator competition everyone's been talking about: Twist (11th place at 50 points), ragnarok (19th place at 49 points), CBKWit and Commissioner Yellow Fever (34th place at 48 points), and Hydro (61st place at 46 points). Who will triumph? Vote in the poll!

I’m in the T-19 group as BakBak’sHonktasticNailedItFest. With my elite eight still intact, I’m holding out for the win!

My name is The Fighting Mahargs
Please include my bracket rank in all future considerations, as well as a detailed analysis of my round by round selections.
the Maharg is above catch phrases

Your bracket is third to last. Yet your final 4 is intact. This disturbs me on so many levels.

Getting scared, are you?
the Maharg is above catch phrases

I would like my bracket rank in any future consideration of anything. Please completely ignore my awful picks.
It’s spelled "S-H-U-F-T-E-D".

I have 9 of my sweet 16 teams left on my AtQ bracket.
Wake Forest, West Virginia, Washington, Marquette, Florida St., Texas, and Clemson… FUCK YOU!
Especially you, Washington. I thought you were suppose to be the GOOD Pac-10 team.

rec’d!
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!

I don’t follow college basketball very closely. It’s pretty much limited to Pac-10 only, and even then, I don’t know very much.
I’ve usually had a lucky streak with march madness though. This is the worst year I’ve ever had, methinks.

Kinda random but
What are people’s opinions on the standard scoring system that most pools use? Obviously the 32 pts/round system makes the later rounds much more important, but an alternative system like 1 pt/game throughout the tournament or a fibonacci sequence (yes, I’ve seen this suggested) would reward people who actually pick more games correctly.
Note: I have no complaints about the current system, it actually benefits me, but I was curious as to what people thought about this.
I outworthless the Maharg.
by HolmoePhobe on Mar 23, 2009 9:58 AM PDT reply actions 0 recs
I dunno. The 1 pt/game system would make more brackets feel the same because you’re less inclined to pick upsets later on of 2 seeds/3 seeds. You’d see a lot of chalky brackets (although i guess you see them now). Plus the drama would also be gone.
Of course, if I was in a bracket pool for money, I’d MUCH prefer the 1 point system.
by Avinash on Mar 23, 2009 10:12 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah, I don’t disagree with you, it’s just a little unfair to people who make really smart early picks and then get screwed because of one upset in the final four or whatever. Luckily, I am not one of those people.
I outworthless the Maharg.

That’s what makes it so popular. Someone who has NO knowledge of hoops could (and usually does) end up winning this thing. Hydro is a very good bet at this point.

What ever system is used should promote people to pick who they truly think is going to win rather than merely picking X team over Y team because if X team should make the final four then that person will get crazy points. So in other words, the point system shouldn’t promote people to pick upsets for the points, or favorites for the points, but who they truly think is going to win.

I have a dream today! I have a dream that one day all Bear fans big and small, short and tall......will have the Nyan in them!

They should be visibile on the front page. They’re not visible on a single post page.
