Here's a free contest - using the same names from the Indy 500 I have the following draw.

43 members - these were randomly assigned (using random.org) to the top 43 teams.

The remaining seeds 11-16 were then randomly assigned to 43 members.

Some NPers get TWO teams! Some get one.

Hey Randy, Your from Ohio, Ill trade you Ohio for Duke

 

[DU]

Hey Randy, Your from Ohio, Ill trade you Ohio for Duke

Duke Sucks... as they say on another forum, lol. (Fark)

 

[NPer]

Thanks Default. :tu:

You can bump the prize "money". :D I donate NP$200.

:wave:

 

[DU]

Cool. You have the #1 Pick overall - you'll get most of it back

I'll have to come up with new variations to keep it interesting.

175 NP for Winner
100 NP for Final
50 NP for Final Four Losers

Highest placing Under 11 Seed (round and margin of loss) to keep it interesting throughtout for those who got crappy picks. 25 NP.

Highest Seed to get bumped in the 1st round (tie break margin of loss) will also get 25 NP for being the biggest LOSER

Will also give 100 NP to anyone who beats me at NCAA ESPN Tourney Challenge (highest only because I'm close to using all my NP - and its a while before I get to win survivor)

[johname]

And ill donate the other 50 of my allotted basketball contest budget

I noticed that girl in my avatar never misses

 

[DU]

As contest organizer I have to approve all trades!

I approve this trade contingent on the fact that obviously you both just traded teams that won't win.

Price pot increase by 190 to be split pro-rata - I'll have to take care of that tomorrow!

 

[Archangel]

Hey, I'm an Ohio boy! lol That's all that matters to me :p

"Syracuse had its best regular season ever, but the team could be in trouble after it was announced Tuesday that center Fab Melo will not play in the NCAA tournament due to what the school called an "eligibility issue," the New York Times reported."

Guessing works but the numbers next to the teams indicate seed so don't have all the 1 2 3 4 seeds out by the first round!

I'm going to lose to guessers
