Uh, I hate to be the one to tell you, but there's someone with only 38 points. You're merely second to last... But as Art pointed out, still winning.

Dang! I didn't realize there were 17 brackets.

I don't understand the bracket scoring system I guess. It says I have 54 pts, with a possiblilty of 55, but I have no teams remaining?! Oh well, this is likely the worst I've ever done in predicting the madness.

Cool story about a link between Kentucky and Butler:

I may have sucked up the first round, but this tourney pick 'em is MINE.

I currently have 74 points with possibility of 106.

Could the reporters give any less credit to Butler? Seriously. Butler was down by about 11 with 6 minutes left and the announcers were talking like the game was already over. Sure, it looked bleak, but come on. And the post game was just brutal. I mean, the fact that they shot 18.8 percent and only lost by 12 says A LOT about Butler, not vice versa. Butler didn't look good, but UConn didn't really either. Minus half the free throws they made down the stretch, and this was a really close game (did I mention Butler couldn't get a call to save their life?). Butler is still the national runner up, don't act like they didn't belong on the same floor as UConn, CBS.

This is a great example of how, with the weighting system, the most correct picks is not as important as the right correct picks.

Well, I got my first Yahoo! Fantasy Sports trophy. Wheee!

I don't see a huge problem with this, considering its a lot harder to pick consecutive winners right than it is to just pick head to head matchups once.

I wasn't pointing it out to say there was a problem. I've generally found that a lot of the time the person with the most correct picks wins, but because of how many upsets (because of Butler and VCU) there were this season it came down to having the right correct picks.

Gotcha, I apologize, I know some people who have a complained about the system and that it should be about the most overall picks right, so I just jumped to that conclusion

For the record, not that anybody cares, but I got 106 points this year, so had I been able to join in time, I would have won the CGR bracket group for the 3rd year in a row.
