IMPORTANT INFO REGARDING SCORING:
The points are a little different this year. Winning teams get 1 point times the round number, for each win, except for the final game (round 6) which is worth 10-points.

For example:
Round 1 = 1-point per win
Round 2 = 2-points per win
Round 3 = 3-points per win
Round 4 = 4-points per win
Round 5 = 5-points per win
Round 6 = 10-points

Upset Pick Bonus:
Upset pick bonus gives you 1 extra point for picking lower-seeded teams correctly. You will be awarded the extra bonus point for each upset (lower seed beating a higher seed) you correctly predict.

OK, who called their team "TSP Talk March Madness"? :suspicious: Was that intentional?

It's not me, if anyone was curious. :)

I see. It must have been a mistake as no teams were picked by person. I will delete it.

My Bracket's a bust...

Did anyone expect VCU to beat Kansas??? or for that matter for Duke to lose to Arizona, which allowed UCONN to head to the final 4...

Interesting, no matter what, it is going to be an good Final 4 tourney... :)
