[QUOTE="Dogdeacon, post: 4801368, member: 1026"]
Actually its been 10yrs since I've done this pool and the rules are either different than I remembered or modified. Luckily I've just now read them after making my first 5 picks ;(
1. +1 wins, -1 losses
2. Regular season 1,2,3 payouts 1st-35%, 2nd-15%,3rd-5%
3. MAKING the NCAA is a bonus for 2nd round pick +5, 3rd+10, 4th+20 etc to 8th+35!!
So obviously picking a team that wins its conference tourney in 8th round is gold.
4. Wins earn bonus pts in NCAA on sliding scale based on round team picked, all escalate by +1 for each successive round of tournament
1st rounders 1,2,3,4,5,6,
2nd rounders 3,4,5,6,7,8
3rd - 5,6,7,etc
4th - 7,8,9 etc
5th - 9,10,11
6th - 11,12
7th - 13,14
8 - 15,16
We are done for the night after 4.5 rounds, now that I've read the rules I think I either keep picking teams from major conferences or get busy scouting teams bound to dominate and be #14-16 seeds.  I.e. grab Grand Canyon or hold nose & take a flier on Slick Rick?!
