    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
    2013bracket2-e1364416570878.png

    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

    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.

    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? :confused:

    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

    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 :o) 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 :p

    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

    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

    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"
