Automated March Madness Bracket (No Bets on this one, just $100NP prize for fun :-) )

IAmAllanShore · 03-14-2005, 04:42 PM

__________________________________________________ _______
TOURNEY HAS STARTED!

Current Standing can be seen here:
http://namepros.mayhem.sportsline.com/opm/standings
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/contests-forum/75347-automated-march-madness-bracket-no-bets.html

$100NP to the winner from me!
__________________________________________________ ________

Not to compete with the other one, so no betting ;-)

I will personally give $100NP to the winner if we get more than 10 users in the bracket challenge.

But this is more for "pride" on the line I s'pose, and it is automated to make it a tad more user friendly for some beginners to the American College Basketball world ;-)

1) Go to: http://namepros.mayhem.sportsline.com/e
2) If you don't have a sportsline account, create one, they're free.
3) Login to the group, the password is "namepros" (Creative, I know)
4) Click on the name of the team you think will advance, and it will fill in the bracket for you! Make sure you complete all 4 divisions and the final, see the tabs at the top to make sure you choose winners for each of the first 32 games!

Just FYI:
1) First Round is 1 point per pick, second is 2 points per pick, third is 4 points per pick, etc.
2) There is a message board system to talk smack if you want to ;-)
3) After the tourney starts this Thursday, you can view everyone else's picks and track results real time :-)

Other than that, just for fun, but let me know how it goes

I'm in. They have a great system for picking brackets!

Go Stanford!

-SMH- · 03-14-2005, 10:11 PM

Im in...and Id llike to donate another 100 np's to the pot if thats ok...let me know allan and ill send the 100 nps to you.

IAmAllanShore · 03-15-2005, 08:42 AM

No need to send me the $NP's (Yet, if I win, then feel free ;-) ), but I'm sure whoever does win will appreciate your sending the $NP directly to the winner :-)
We have 5 folks signed up so far, anyone else who wants to get in please do so by Thursday morning!
(BTW, I'm predicting 3 out of 4 teams in the final 4 will be from the greatest conference: The ACC! :-) ).

P10n33R · 03-15-2005, 09:15 AM

I signed up, I don't know much about American College Ball but we will see my outcome.

IAmAllanShore · 03-15-2005, 09:25 PM

Up to 6 in the group, keep 'em brackets coming! :-)

1st Day Games are done!
Current standings:

3 brett jones 9

Easy to come back from the first round picks as 1st round are 1 point each.... RJ's gotta catch a break on a few ones but congrats to Oulzac on leading the first day!

My local channel just switched to local programming away from the games, but found them on an alternate station :-)

Aight, 4 more to go...

Exciting!

Nice Call!

Well after the first round im not in first

However all of my teams I have winning in the next round are still alive!

IAmAllanShore · 03-19-2005, 07:36 AM

1st Round Over and it doesn't look good when the organizer is in first place ;-) --But as Sean pointed out (sorta), next round's picks count twice as much, and I had Kansas and Syracuse going to the sweet 16 so I can't get any points for either of those games. Best of luck all!

Current standings:

(Rank)(Name)(Points)
1 IAmAllanShore 26
1 Tiki Timbo 26
3 brett jones 25
4 Mike Yuke 24
4 oulzac 24
4 sean henderson 24
7 Denver Hunter 23
7 Robert Frey 23
9 Ron James 21

Yep this early I think best possible points is the most important stat:

sean henderson 160
Mike Yuke 158
Robert Frey 155
IAmAllanShore 154
brett jones 151
Denver Hunter 151
oulzac 150 51
Tiki Timbo 140
Ron James 91

It really will come down to someone getting the winner right usually or having a majority of the final 4 teams. It has been a great two days of basketball and I cant wait for these next two. GL everyone

That is just showing the highest possible score you can get with the teams you have remaining.

IAmAllanShore · 03-19-2005, 02:55 PM

Tech beating 'zaga today was a big one, and Illinois is playing now...
The game I think will be exciting is Wake tonight v. West Virginia, the winner of the game takes on Bobby Knight and TTech...
I can barely contain myself ;-)

IAmAllanShore · 03-21-2005, 06:05 AM

And an update! Looks like the winner will be between Sean and Mike.... Down to the end!
