Posted: 02/24/18 1:26 am ::: Pick the Conference Tournament Winners |
Reply |
|
All 32 Conferences run tournaments to determine their champion. The object of this game is to pick the winner of each conference tournament. In order to encourage people to make different selections, the scoring for each correct pick is based on the seed of the team you pick, You get 2 points + the number of the seed, so if you pick the number 1 seed you get 3 points if the team wins. If you pick the number 4 seed and it wins you get 6 points
Because the tournaments start throughout the next two weeks you can put in your picks piecemeal as long as you put your picks in before 9AM Eastern, 6AM Pacific time the day a tournament is starting. I will post a list of starting dates in the next few days. Each time you add new picks do it as a separate entry, do not edit previous entries.
For those of you who are only interested in the major conferences there will be a separate prediction game for just the Big 5 conferences. Those rules will be put out tomorrow.

But you could get 4 points instead of 3 if you picked USF and they won!
