Prognosticator's Predictions Tournament Edition

[MSGRET]

Last year only the point earners were able to play the Tournament Edition of the Prognosticator's Predictions. There were many upset people, so I will hold a poll for the next week to see what the BY wishes to do. If it is voted that everyone to be able to play, there will be a cut off of 15 minutes prior to UConn's game for entering the prediction.

There will be a Prognosticator's Prediction for every tournament game that UConn plays, so if they are in the Big East Championship game and make it to the NC game, there will be a total of 9 game predictions. I will not be voting since I am the administrator of the predictions.

My voting is on and off, but when I do it I really enjoy it. I say… the more the merrier!

Let everyone in, including you.

I will be in the tournament edition no matter which way it is voted on, I'm just not voting on it since I administer the Prognosticator's Predictions.

@HuskyNan / @Biff Could I ask that this be pinned until the poll expires. I would like that everyone is able to view and vote on it without it having to be refreshed to keep it at the top. Thanks in advance.

It seems that there should be a NIT for those that hadn't been successful in the regular season.

Everybody eats! Let everyone join the fun!! (I'm not going to win anyway!!!)

My only concern, MSGRET, is your workload. It is hard to sift through all the predictions and accurately figure out the winners. Opening it up to everyone makes your chore even harder. As I see it, it should be your call.

Thanks for your concern but I'm retired, this keeps me a little busy for the Tournament. I would have the winner of the UConn game before their next opponent is known and only takes a few minutes to compile the point earners. With the number of point earners that have qualified and the ones that haven't there wouldn't be much of a difference in the amount of time it will take.

There are several things that could be improved upon, but overall the broadcasts are an ENORMOUS PLUS.
We are fortunate to have them.

A suggestion Sarge, with the understanding I was a mere E-5 and hesitate to give advice to an E-7. Let the contest continue as is until the end of the regular season. At that point run two brackets for all tournament games, the Champion Bracket only for those who have at least one regular season point and the Loser's Bracket for those like myself who have zero points. At the end of UConn's NCAA run the winner of the Loser's Bracket gets a UConn hat and the winner of the Champion's Bracket gets a UConn T-Shirt/sweatshirt. Ties are resolved by a random drawing.

First in the Army a MSG is an E-8, second of all running two separate tally sheets is a lot more complicated than running only one. On the winner getting a hat or T-Shirt/sweatshirt, WHO is going to pay for the merchandise and the shipping?
