Created more in hope than in expectation. This probably won't take off due to lack of interest. But giving it a go anyway. :cool:

It's a Bracket game. Where you set up your own group, with your own group page on the website. competing against other friends and their brackets

Here is an example of a bracket


You make your predictions for each round of the NCAA Tournament, You score points for each correct prediction, with bonus points If you predict a lower ranked team to beat a higher ranked team

The points awarded increase with each round

We're off the mark.

That's fine. Loads of time yet. I'll have to do a little research myself before making my picks

I'll join up over the weekend.

Made this table. The to ten ranked teams going into March Madness
With the possible 1st round Draft picks to watch out for during the tournament

Dublin Red Devil

Looks like it's just you and me "Bateman". Who do you like in this tournament. I think Arizona might have what it takes to win this. The Pac12 champions are serious contenders. Lead by NBA star in the making "AG" Arron Gordon and a strong supporting cast, They will be a difficult team to beat.

E.Scifo

I'm in . Finally caught up with my sky plus, the amount of games on is savage. 5 games taped tonight....

Dublin Red Devil

5 players signed up. Anyone else? The more the merrier.

Dublin Red Devil

Just 4 days to go before selection Sunday. March 16th

Dublin Red Devil

Thanks to everyone who signed up. You can go to the website and make your selections from today, March 16th. You can change them as much as you want up until the deadline for round 2, the 19th March

Good Luck to everyone

Dublin Red Devil

The Brackets are open. Let the "Madness" Begin.

Job done, I have Arizona beating Virginia

I have Arizona too. Beating Kansas in the Final. I think Embiid's return will give Kansas the boost they need to get to the final, But I think Arron Gordon will lead his team to victory. Or they could both get knocked out before the elite Eight:D Who knows?

There in no such thing ad the perfect bracket. In fact if you have a perfect bracket, Warren Buffet will give you 1 Billion Dollars

Dublin Red Devil

E.Scifo

Done, Florida (no 1 seed in South and overall) beating Louisville (no 4 in mid west)for me with Michigan State (no 4 in East) and Oklahoma State (no 9 in West) in final 4.

Just having a look over mine, I have Arizona going out in last 32 (so they should make the final 4 ) Kanses going out to Florida in Elite 8 (if they get over a sweet 16 match with Ohio State as long as they get over Dayton and Syracuse etc etc etc )

The bracket is fantastic this year with so many great games to look forward to. Now to clear all kids ****e from sky plus so its at 0 for Thursday

Is that your bracket? Just to let you know you have gone for 2 number 9's to beat 2 x 8's. Just in case this is a mistake as you have every other higher team seed winning every game

No surprise, Syracuse beat Western Michigan

Dublin Red Devil

Albany holding their own against Florida, Oregon up big against BYU late in the 2nd, MSU in the lead early against Delaware

Dublin Red Devil

Watching the MSU Spartans. What a performance from Adrian Payne

Edit: 41pts 17/17 FT from Adrian Payne.

Dublin Red Devil

NC state a big danger to St Louis in this one. If TJ Warren plays to the level he can, It could be very difficult

Dublin Red Devil

OT Lets go UCONN

Edit: UCon win in OT

Dublin Red Devil

Brilliant game between St Louis and NC State, an Unreliable last 2 min of play. St Louis coming from 12 down to tie the game. OT coming up. thrilling stuff

Great win for St Louis Jordair Jet an Rob Loe very impressive

Dublin Red Devil

More drama, 3 point splash by North Dakota to tie the game with OU. The 3rd straight game going to OT

Edit. 12th seed NDS tie the game with a 3 to take it to overtime and beat 5th seed OU in overtime

Dublin Red Devil

current standings

E.Scifo

Wow, what a night.... Craft misses on the buzzer to send Dayton through....Texas hang on.....Hancock shows why he was last years final 4 mvp with a steal and 8 points in a min with Louisville in deep trouble....and then we have 4 overtime games as well :eek:

If Carlsberg did opening nights :P

Dublin Red Devil

Maybe a surprise on the cards here ,Duke being held to the sword by Mercer late in the 2nd, Will Parker and his team have an early exit?

Wow Mercer beat Duke. Massive upset. Jabari Parker goes home. That's why they call it March "Madness"

kingcobra

"Madness" is right! It really makes me a realise how bloody well impossible it is to get even close to a perfect bracket. Like who would've saw that happening to Duke? :pac:

Wiggins and Kansas are not exactly out of the woods yet. Right now they are down by trading the lead with Eastern Kentucky.

Marcus Smart and his OKS team are struggling at half time against the Zags

Yeah they really upped there game in the 2nd half. Wiggins was good, He will get all the credit but they would have won with Perry Ellis' 14 pts and 13 reb
