MoonShine Posted March 18, 2013 Report Posted March 18, 2013 (edited) OK lets give this a try. I haven't hosted one of these before so I'll try not to screw it up too badly You will need to register (if you are not already) at CBSSports.com here: http://www.cbssports.com After that you can access the Head Case group here: http://mf1.mayhem.cbssports.com/e?ttag=13_cbspaste Group PW = moonshine After that it should be fairly straightforward: make your picks. 11:00 am ET on March 21, 2013 is the deadline I believe (The First Four play in games do not count). Be sure to read the scoring rules. It's weighted by round with a seed bonus (added not multiplied). Round Point Allocation Per Game: Round 1 - 1 point Round 2 - 2 points Round 3 - 4 points Round 4 - 8 points Round 5 - 16 points Round 6 - 32 points Scoring: Each game winner will be weighted by adding the seed of that team to the points allocated to that round of play. Example: The Oregon Ducks make the tournament as a #12 seed (no respect!), and they meet up with the #4 seeded St. Louis in round 2. If you chose the Ducks to win, you would get 14 points if the Ducks won (#12 seed plus 2 points for that round of play). If you were to choose St. Louis in this scenario, you would receive 6 points if they were to win (#4 seed plus 2 points for that round of play). Get it??? Gives you some incentive to pick the underdog. If you have any problems let me know and I will try to help. I figured since we do Fantasy Football just for fun we would do this just for fun as well. If I'm not all alone at my party drinking the punch maybe we can make this an annual thingy. Good luck and have fun. Edited March 19, 2013 by MoonShine
agile_one Posted March 19, 2013 Report Posted March 19, 2013 Joined CBSSports.com, but when accessing HeadCase group, it says I need invite from league commissioner? No place to enter the Group PW.

agile_one Posted March 19, 2013 Report Posted March 19, 2013 ^^^^^ That worked great, thanks. Bracket filled, watch out, punks.
MoonShine Posted March 20, 2013 Author Report Posted March 20, 2013 Yeah I didn't watch hardly ANY hoops this year. Not even the conference tournaments. Going in blind.
agile_one Posted March 20, 2013 Report Posted March 20, 2013 Lots of parity this year, and several teams (Florida, Syracuse, Duke, and others) who melted down at end, but could catch fire in the tournament.
MoonShine Posted March 20, 2013 Author Report Posted March 20, 2013 Still time to join & pick!!! 7 players so far...
MoonShine Posted March 21, 2013 Author Report Posted March 21, 2013 Still a half hour to go if anyone wants in last minute like. Raffy & Thomas: unless you are in there right now making some last minute changes I don't think your bracket is complete and saved properly. Might want to check.
MoonShine Posted March 23, 2013 Author Report Posted March 23, 2013 Oh wow GTown goin down, fork me I'm done.
tyrion Posted March 23, 2013 Report Posted March 23, 2013 I had them playing the Gators in the Sweet 16. It would be cool if UF played Florida Gulf Coast.
Wmcmanus Posted March 23, 2013 Report Posted March 23, 2013 Sorry that I missed this thread. It would have been fun. Of course, I would have picked G'Town to get knocked off in the first round... not!
Aura Posted March 24, 2013 Report Posted March 24, 2013 Kelly Olynyk is officially The Ginger Avenger's Doppleganger (with long hippie hair) -
tkam Posted March 24, 2013 Report Posted March 24, 2013 Happy to see Gonzaga be the first #1 seed to get beaten.
Aura Posted March 24, 2013 Report Posted March 24, 2013 (edited) Not happy. I was stupid, should've gone with my gut and picked Miami. Edited March 24, 2013 by Aura
grawk Posted March 24, 2013 Report Posted March 24, 2013 Gonzaga was the only team I cared about in the tournament. Guess I won't watch any games again this year.
MoonShine Posted April 1, 2013 Author Report Posted April 1, 2013 (edited) Standings going into Final Four: Surprised that I am even contending much less in 1st but I guess it's been a crazy March for everyone's brackets. Scenarios: The only horse left in the race for anyone is Louisville. If they win it all: Jim comes from behind for the win! I win any other scenario, I think. Edited April 1, 2013 by MoonShine
MoonShine Posted April 9, 2013 Author Report Posted April 9, 2013 Congrats Jim on your come from behind victory! Thanks all for playing and we'll try it again next year. Final Standings:
tyrion Posted April 9, 2013 Report Posted April 9, 2013 Nice Jim! I consider myself a winner since I beat Gene and Raffy. In the end, does it get any better than that.
