I'd love to play even if my Huskies probably won't be.
Thank you.

if you make his picks will you be using a two-headed coin?

I'm having a problem getting into the site (surprised?). I'll continue to work on it and no, I am not from Canada and my name is not William. For some reason that site does not recognize my email address...

I'll try again tomorrow. I reset my password twice, even though I didn't think I had forgotten it and it still comes back as invalid.

Send me a link Bev. Maybe about the 28th of February? I'll probably be the last to get in. I wear my tardiness like a badge of honor!

We currently have 19 entries (including Spanky ) . For administrative purposes I am limiting the field to 25 so if you still want to play then please sign up now ( instructions are at the beginning of this thread and are so easy a caveman can do it )

Today is Selection Sunday! The brackets will be announced on CBS at 6:00 p.m. EDT, after which the UIC March Madness Pool will be open for your picks. The deadline for picks is Thursday. Good luck to all our players, who right now total 23. You can still sign up today, I believe.
Also, the CBS sports website has a nice printable bracket chart here:

Let the madness begin!
I've always marveled how crucial games can be played sometimes minutes before the Committee announces the brackets. Today Michigan and Michigan State will be playing in the Big 10 tournament championship game from 4-6 PM. Will its outcome affect the seedings? Both are thought to be #2 seeds at this point. Hope that it doesn't go into overtime.
On a more serious vein, I understand that the scoring in the UIC tournament will include a seed bonus equal to the seed of your pick for each win. I think that this means if you select a 12 seed and it wins in round #1, you get 13 points for the win (1 for the round and 12 for the bonus). If you continue to pick it and it wins a sweet 16 game, you get 16 points for that win (4 for the round and 12 for the bonus). Do others share my interpretation of this scoring rule, or have I missed something?

At this point, I'm just happy to be IN the tournament. Not sure if I'm back in Mr. Hendry's good graces or not but can't wait to tee it up for tip off! Just a simple man with simple tools here! :>)
