BrodyHardcastle Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Anyone interested in doing some sort of NCAA Pick’ems contest? I wouldn’t know exactly how to get it started or anything but if we got enough people we could somehow figure it out together. Let me know! I think it could be some fun. beaner2, rdrodd1 and IU89 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maligned Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 (edited) I got your back: Rules: Pick a team of 10, one guy from each weight class, according to these rules: Two guys seeded 1 or 2 Two guys seeded 3 or 4 Two guys seeded 5, 6, or 7 Two guys seeded at least 8th Two guys seeded at least 11th Points for placement: 1: 25 2: 20 3: 16 4: 13 5: 11 6: 9 7: 7 8: 5 Wildcard Bonus: Designate ONE GUY as your Wildcard. If he outperforms his seed, you pick up 5 bonus points. (We'll extend to the Blood Round for this. If you pick a guy who's seeded at least 13 and he reaches at least the final 12, the Blood Round, you pick up the Wildcard Bonus). NOTE: If a bracket change affects picks you already posted, you may choose to either 1) stay locked in and earn points according to originally assigned seeds, or 2) make changes according to updated seeds. Please announce your intention if you make changes! Post your team to this thread with final edits by 11:55am Eastern Time on Thursday, March 16 (not 10:55 as previously posted..morning sessions start an hour later this year in the central time zone). WHEN YOU POST YOUR TEAM, PLEASE POST WEIGHT, NAME, & SEED If a rule seems stupid, please alert me. We'll change it.

beaner2 Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Thanks maligned, the rules seem straight forward, that is unless bracket changes occur. BrodyHardcastle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, everyone picks their own team however they want, as long as it's one guy per weight. I'm sure we'll get some duplicate "locks" and under-seeded guys.

By the way..we did something sort of similar a few years ago for Big 10s and there was a lot of variety in people's picks. I'm guessing we'll see nice variety here too.

I just looked back..it was 5 years ago. We did Big 10s and NCAAs both as confidence picks where we made champ picks and assigned confidence levels from 10 to 1. Maybe @MD92 will show his face to make another go at his NCAA title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will most likely wrestle McGee Thursday night as long as they both take care of business.
