NCAA Pick 'ems 2024 (post your picks here)


Recommended Posts

@UncleJimmy mentioned maybe we could do this again this year. Let's do it!

 

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).

 

Tiebreakers: 1) Most champs, 2) Individual who most outperformed their seed (example: 8-seed getting 3rd outperformed their seed by 5), 3) Most individuals who scored points  for us

 

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 21 (not 10:55 as in some years...12pm ET/11am CT start time this year).

 

WHEN YOU POST YOUR TEAM, PLEASE POST WEIGHT, NAME, & SEED

Maybe he just meant "3-4" category. Carr is still a 4 as far as any media and brackets I can find.

Lots of love here for B Lee so far. I hope he has a great tournament and wanted to pick him but there were just others with a better path.

Agreed.  I hope B Lee has a great run and AA's this year.  At team state this year in Bburg, I happened to be standing next to him while watching the CP/Bburg match.  I got a chance to shake his hand and wish him luck this year.  What an absolutely great and humble person.  It's easy to root for him!

@maligned I'll put the cart in front of the resident dead horse. What is the tiebreaker criteria? I would suggest;

1. Number of champions

2. Highest single finisher above seed

 

Sounds good! A 3rd criteria could be "most guys who scored points."
