  • OH, YEAH!!!

    it's that time of year again.

    yes, i will be providing at least a prize for the winner. there could possibly be prizes for the top 3 finishers. prizes will be comics and/or comic related items (dvds, TPBs, action figures, etc). all i ask of the prize winners is to cover a portion of the shipping.

    so, follow the link provided by dough boy and get entered.

    feel free to post any questions.

  • Sounds fun - I did wwwaaaayyyy better than expected last year!!

  • 12 in so far. still have a few days to get more entered.

    in my opinion, the more people that are playing, the more fun it is.

    it's definitely good to see return players.

    I think some people only come to the site on Wed to enter comics, etc. So hopefully a large jump then.

  • Posted: March 15, 2023 12:49:38 pm
  • 34 entered. looking good.

    after each round i will be posting how many teams i still have in the next round. i encourage everyone to do so. just a fun way to see how everyone is doing. just change the 1st number to how many you have still in. obviously we all start off with 64/64.

    32/32
    16/16
    8/8
    4/4
    2/2
    1/1

    i will also be keeping track of all of the picked winners. how many people picked each winner and when picked winners are eliminated.

  • Hey hey, first place at the moment. I went 29 out of 32 correct after the first round!
    I had Purdue going all the way to the Final Four though - that one is going to hurt me.

  • My time machine must be on the fritz, because the second round was not as kind to me. I now have:

    8/16
    4/8
    2/4
    1/2
    1/1

    As long as the team I picked to win the final (Houston) keeps winning, I'm still in good shape. If they lose, my other picks probably won't matter.
    Did I err?
  • Posted: March 20, 2023 10:31:53 am
  • Whoever the well paid brainless person is that is in charge of ranking these teams should be fired lol

  • 1st time in history without at least one #1 in the Elite 8. And I predicted it, correctly calling 2 of the 4 upsets.

  • With everything we've seen up to now, Does anyone else feel Uconn may be the team this year? Texas looks good, but i feel of the remaining teams Uconn may pull this one off...
