before tuesday night or before thursday noon? not sure how pools are going to treat this new tues/wed bubble team game since those teams won't be very big underdogs in the round of 64.

The bracket I am looking at begins at 64.

well you gotta figure out if you are picking those first 4 games, or just letting people take either play-in team vs the team that is already waiting in the round of 64.....

idk if that made sense but I've ran a lot of brackets in the past 5-7 years. Normally I've found that just forgetting about the play-in game was easy obv. They had no chance against a 1 seed. But I saw how lunardis bracketology looks on espn, and I see how the play-in games in some instances lead into matchups that are not 1 vs 16 seed. So it may be imperative that we pick the tues/weds (whenever) games in this year and all future years. The problem, is that brackets must be filled out entered and final before a game on tues instead of thurs. 2 days is much shorter than 4 and really puts a hurry on things.

What I'm saying is that Yahoo isn't even recognizing the play in games for the bracket challenge. So, as far as this contest goes they don't exist.

ahhhhh ok I see. So then we will not chose the winner of the game until the matchup in the round of 64 is set? makes sense and is simple. ok thanks for clearin that up, I'll be in soon

Before those games are complete, you will have the option to back either the 5/6 seed or the winner of the 11/12 seeds in the play in games. If you want to change your pick based on who moves on in the play in game, you'll have to do so before noon on Thursday when the brackets lock.

Im sure yahoo will initially have it setup like this on Sunday night:

5) team a
12) team b or team c

Clearly you can just pick the favorite here, wait until the play-in game is complete, or take the default 12 seed and and im sure it will update to whoever the 12 seed ends up being.


thanks again for doing this ZBT

don't follow college bball like ever so only in 2 $10.

sent money and pm.

what's the deal with the first four?

are we treating them like playins in years past where you just get whoever wins, or are we picking them (therefore having our brackets due on tuesday, not thursday like they have been in years past) and getting 1st round points for them?

send $10 and PM

Brackets are due when round of 64 starts (thursday at noon est)

first 4 do NOT have to be picked is my understanding

I'm in. Will ship tomorrow with PM as well.

Probably in for a tenner again, know nothing about it but had fun watching last year. Telecast over here is unbelievably bad though which kind of detracts from it, the commercials don't line up with the ones in the US so with 7 seconds left in a game it went to commercial, it came back and it was over and 5 points had been scored :\

WTF thats some hardcore bs. how could they do that to someone? For me the o/u is like 5 times this tournament I scream at the TV for our coverage not switching to a game sooner than they do to catch a great finish. Just completely missing the end is ludicrous.

awesome. thanks for doing this again horton. congrats on your poker tourny win.
