    So you get more points for picking a lower seed right?

    Looks like I missed this:

    Seed bonus points: Receive points equal to the difference in seed values for underdog wins only.

    Rough day 1 eh Drew? Looks like some free points are on the way thanks to Arizona and NC State.

    you're better off not having known that.

    Chalk round 1. Big upset was Virginia losing and no one would pick UMBC with or without a bonus.

    I picked lots of upsets and only got 16 out of 32 as a result. If I had just stuck to chalk I would be in a good spot.

    Exactly, that's the whole deal right there, finding the balance between the chalk and the underdogs. I Picked the dogs, chalk hits, go with the chalk and the damn dogs burn you.

    I still have a chance to beat drew despite getting an astonishing amount of games wrong. So many upsets picked and they didn't connect.

    drew and I each have two FF teams still alive.

    Gonzaga losing finished me off.

    Not even going to beat drew.

    I made two regular brackets plus this SBR one and all are up in flames!

    anybody with 61 points has clinched a 50 point free play thanks to drew so far 222 people and that number will only go up

    i hope they don't punish you too badly drew i'm sure they weren't planning on this many free plays

    Well I beat DREW for sure. IF Villanova wins it all and Michigan comes in second then I win 14th place. If somehow Loyola beats Michigan and Villanova wins it all then I will 8th place


    If Loyola wins it all and Villanova comes in second I finish in 18th place. If Villanova loses to Kansas or if Michigan beats Villanova in the final I dont finish in the top 30.


    Gives me something to root for at least
