Worst seeding job by the committee I can remember. In before early upsets. 1 seeds look good for deep runs though.

Nope. The goal is to pick all the games correctly, which will include many "upsets".

You already get a bonus by picking an upset, because you get points other people don't get.

ya understood. i just used to do it and it was fun. dont have to feel as dumb for wanting to pick a lot of crazy upsets. 1 point for every 3 point difference in seed. so 1 point for a 10 beating 7. 2 if a 12-5. it just made for more crazy brackets.

not that the pools here aren't great - its just that we have a different one on cbssports.com that has been going for 6 years and we try to grow the prize pool each year. it costs $22 to enter (max of 3 brackets) and last year 1st was > $2,500. i didn't want post about it here if it wasn't allowed, but i do want to get as many entrants as possible so if it is allowed, i'd like to post the info.

please let me know either way.

best regards,

nick

You could post it in the Fantasy forum maybe?

also...someone explain to me why everyone does multiple brackets

like, i understand you have a better chance of winning the pool...but doesn't it get confusing who to root for (again, i understand most of the time 3/4 of your brackets will be out by the final 4 or w/e) i feel like it takes the spirit out of picking a bracket and rooting for it

idk, i guess i just feel like it creates a lot of conflicting games and stuff
