Month: March 2011

Twice has Dren tried hard to lose this tournament and succeeded. This year, he’s right in the middle of the pack the pick ’em and a few folks are still fighting for the bottom prizes (Dren probably won’t win, but he won’t get dead last this year). “The Dren Said So” (mike) and “Rammer Jammer” (billbell7800) are our leaders after the first day’s action, correctly picking 15 of the 16 games, including two of the three upsets (seems nobody foresaw Morehead State winning). Having two people with a nearly perfect day is fairly impressive.

The two folks at the bottom of the list actually picked up points today because of the upsets, so that race is still open as well.

As usual, I’m right in the middle of the pack, tied for 29 out of 48. I’m just happy all my Final Four teams are still alive, which hasn’t been the case in the past.

The scoring spreadsheet has been updated. Good luck tomorrow, as these first two days really will decide the tournament for a lot of people.

The 2011 Pick ’em has tipped off. You can watch the games online and suck up your company’s bandwidth, or you can plant yourself in front of a TV or an iPhone and get your fix.

Scoring will be posted later tonight in a new blog post (there are already a couple games that have finished and I’m 1-1). The scoring spreadsheet (edit with correct link) will be updated as well. Good luck every one!

The NCAA tournament starts tomorrow, so this is your last chance to sign up for the pick ’em. It’s free to sign up, you could win some fun prizes (with more to come), and it will give you an excuse to avoid work the next four days.

Tip off of the main tournament is tomorrow, so you have to sign up and fill out your brackets before the first game tips-off at 9:15 tomorrow morning. Yahoo! usually shuts down editing on the brackets just before that, so just shoot for 9:00 and you should be fine.

If you don’t have a TV handy, you can watch the games online or they have an iPhone app (no Android love, it appears).

Good luck!

The teams are getting selected today for the pick ’em and you’ll be able to fill out your brackets later today and potentially win some fun prizes. So get signed up, and when the brackets are ready to be filled out later today, you’ll be notified by e-mail.

You must sign up and have your brackets filled out before the first games later this week so even if you don’t know a dang thing about college basketball, it’s free, and it’s fun, so sign up today!

Update: The tournament field has been set, and it’s time to fill out your brackets. Get crackin’!
