2009 VE March Madness Bracket Challenge

March 17, 2009 9:43:48 AM

Ok boys and girls, I've set up a yahoo sports league for March Madness. (since we use Yahoo Sports for Fantasy Football)

link is here
password is ve

You have TWO days to complete your brackets.

Prizes will be offered by myself.

Grand Prize - Sith Gunship (You can't get this at the store!) Winner has the option to replace this with the 2nd place prize

2nd Place - 500k ICS

3rd Place - 250k ICS

Scoring system is just standard, as I hate upset scoring.

Correct picks:

Rd 1 = 1pt
Rd 2 = 2pt
Rd 3 = 4pt
Rd 4 = 8pt
Rd 5 = 16pt
Rd 6 = 32pt

Highest point total wins.

Now that we're down to the final four, we can reasonably go through all the possibilites

Michigan St vs Villanova in the final

Regardless of whom wins:
1. Zeshaun - 104
2. Doc - 102
3. Yillis - 90

UConn vs Villanova in the final

UConn wins:
1. Failures - 124
2. Doc - 108
3. Yillis - 97
Villanova wins:
1. Doc - 118
2. Ron - 97
3. Failures - 92

UConn vs North Carolina in the final

UConn wins:
1. Doc - 134
2. Failures - 124
3. Zeshaun - 104
North Carolina wins:
1. Doc - 166
2. Zeshaun - 136
3. Ron - 97

Michigan St vs North Carolina in the final

Michigan St wins:
1. Zeshaun - 128
2. Doc - 118
3. Yillis - 90
North Carolina wins:
1. Zeshaun - 158
2. Doc - 150
3. Havoc - 91

Basically it comes down to first place battle between three folks in our group:

Zeshaun: Wins in 4 of 8 possible scenarios
Doc: Wins 3 of 8 possible scenarios
Failures: Wins 1 of 8 possible scenarios

Good luck folks, I'm not giving up the fact I held first place since Day 1 in our bracket challenge without a fight

Eh, those are not true odds, as some teams have better chances than others

Plus you're betting against Doc, which very few people have actually made a good idea.

Sorry, I've been busy. I'll get them to you today.

Do you want the Gunship or the 500k?

I think I'll take the sith gunship, although 500k is tempting, getting to own a sith starship is not something i can pass up

Zesh, try and check the leave board before calling someone out for not waiting on you. Angel hasn't even logged on since the 13th. He's in Japan, but it's ok, I'll let him know you need your winnings now. I'm sure he'd be perfectly willing to drop everything and come give you your fake stuff.
