Now before you give me a load of crap about how you don't follow college basketball, let me say this. For the last five consecutive years, a non-sports female has either finished first or second place in my group. I swear that was not meant to be sexist but it drives my point home. You do not need to be Dick Vitale to win a bracket group. My broadcasting instructor picked teams by which mascot would win in a drunken bar fight. Many pick their favorite colors. Whatever. Just do it.
All it requires is $5 (cash or check - then again, I'll take your credit card numbers too) BEFORE the brackets are released. I do this for two reasons: because it ensures that everyone pays before their bracket goes to crap and two because it gives you less to think about after they are released.
The winner claims 90% of the total pot and the consolation winner brings in the final 10%. Only ONE BRACKET per person. I tried multiple brackets last year and thought it was an epic fail and not nearly as fun.
Points run as such - 1 pt for the four "play-in games" or first round as they are calling it this year. Beyond that scores 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, and 64 pts. based on the round.
Also for the first time in my bracket group, I will be operating through CBS's Bracket Manager. It makes my job much easier and will allow you to keep track of your and everyone else's scores much more efficiently. Just remember that you will need to have the bracket completed by the first game on Tuesday 15 March.
So if you accept my request to join my bracket group, please let me know your email address on here, email me at bk84@ymail.com or let me know in person.
And please feel free to invite your friends into the group! The more people, the larger the pot. Also, my dad and Caleb are participating, so if you beat them, it will give you bragging rights over them.

I'm in! I pick the ones with the baggy shorts. Wait!. That's all of them! Guess I need a different selection criteria.
