AND . . . anyone else who wants to join us for our just for fun contest.
The waiting is over, the 68 teams that have been invited and announced for the 2017 NCAA Basketball Tournament are set, and let the March Madness fun begin. Study the brackets carefully which can be found all over the internet and then list 16 teams that you think will make the 'sweet 16'. These 16 teams will be the entire hand of cards you will be starting with. Then, from your 16 teams list the 8 teams that you think will make the 'great 8'. Then, from your 8 teams list the 4 teams that you think will make the 'final 4'. Then, from your 4 teams list the 2 teams that you think will make the 'national championship game'. Then, from your 2 teams list the team you think will win the 'national championship'. Finally, list how many points will be scored in the national championship game for tie breaking purposes, if necessary, and the closest number over or under to the final score will determine our winner, if necessary. All of the above information must be listed on one single entry before the first play in game begins on Tuesday night, March 14, 2017 and anyone submitting their entry after the first play in game begins will be disqualified. I will keep accurate records and post the standings here weekly until we declare the winner in our contest.
Scoring:
1 point for each correct 'sweet 16' team
2 points for each correct 'great 8' team
3 points for each correct 'final 4' team
4 points for each correct 'final 2' team
5 points for each correct 'national champion' team
Tie breaker, if necessary, will determine the winner of our contest.
Let's have some fun with this and good luck to all who enter our contest.

I might could make some pu KS, Tommy even though I don't know squat about 'gaming' or basketball.
But until I can SEE everyone involved I'll just be a cheerleader and wish everyone luck.

I might TRY to pick something.
Being a woman can I change my mind at the last minute?
What is the "reward/penalty" of the 'fun contest'?
Serious aside: am I correct -- did Villanova win last year over North Carolina?

Our NCAA Basketball Tournament Contest is now officially closed to any new participants.
Our players are TATER, the man who has been a long time DH Sports friend who loves his Tide in another sport but is now trying out his skills in the game of college basketball. Next up we have SILLY, another long time DH Sports friend who helped me to get Trump into the White House. Batting third is ENARD who lives in some mighty cold country but who ran a very good NFL Playoff contest. Hitting cleanup is ME and I hope I don't strike out with the bases loaded.
May the best hitter win (wrong sport) in our NCAA Basketball Tournament Contest and I consider all of my competitors DH Sports friends.
I hope we all exchange a lot of chit chat on this thread as the NCAA Basketball Tournament moves forward about how good we are doing or how bad we are doing and as promised I will post on this thread our current standings weekly until a DH Sports winner is declared in our contest.

^ exactly why I don't play your silly games ~~
You don't set out the rules until after members commit
You change rules as you go along to benefit yoursrlf
You bend/break the rules you see yourself and then decapitate anyine else who smudges the line.
I call BS foul before the game begins.
You called the cut-off time at 6:40 pm Eastern
Babe posted at 7:32 pm Eastern (6:32 central WI time)
And you accepted the entry, Tommy.
RIGGED and CHEATING

Silly, I'm disappointed too that we only have four players in our contest since six different people said they would be playing but let's make the best of it and have fun with it. I realize that we don't have nearly the DH Sports members that we use to have on this forum but I thought we would get at least 7 or 8 players to fill out complete entries to join us. A couple of years ago I ran an NFL playoff contest and we had 16 players who enjoyed it so I guess a lot of sports fans have left us for one reason or another.

Cup, Since you don't have a clue what you are talking about allow me to enlighten you. Six people committed themselves to play in our contest and four of these people took the time to fill out complete entries with 48 hours of advance notice on when no more entries would be accepted. I had to close this contest to any new complete entries at 6:40PM eastern time yesterday because that is when the NCAA Basketball Tournament began. I would have welcomed packersbabe to join us but she had only a very partial entry completed by the deadline. This is a very fair contest for the four people on board who completed a total entry into our contest so don't even go there!
Don't you know by now that you are a total nuisance to everyone and not just me?

Silly, The jury is still out on whether CUP is male or female but that doesn't even matter. What matters is how he or she continues to be a pain in the a** for everyone. You know that I am not a blocker and the only person I ever blocked was Hank and you know why.
