This is the Yahoo Sports scoring... maybe we could use that?

First Round 1 point
Second Round 2 points
Third Round 4 points
Fourth Round 8 points
Semis 16 points
Championship 32 points
Maximum Possible 192 points

Yay! Thanks for doing this sy. I will probably just make the bracket I already filled out into a pdf. Can you remind me how to post an image as a comment? Thanks!

And I think that scoring is good. We should all give a final score, too, in case it's needed as a tie-breaker.

Sure thing. You can either upload it to a site like Photobucket and then do the HTML code to add it.

Like so:

Or you can do it the Sugar way. You know when you post a blog or send a private message there's the "add image" option... Go through the Sugar image uploader and then copy and paste the code they give you in this comment box.

Ok so here goes --- the winner will get "tips" of 10 sugar dollars from each participant. There's an option where you can give people points (e.g. here's how you give lilk a tip www.teamsugar.com/gifts/tip/lilkimbo)

So at the end we all give a certain amount of tips to the winner. How much?

Sound good?

Oh and you get unending bragging rights, of course.

mine is going to be a little blurry...

if there's any confusion, let me know

OK, I am apparently not computer-savvy. I can't get my bracket saved in a format that will let me post it.

what is it saved as right now?

I saved it as a pdf and I tried to save it as a jpg, but apparently I didn't do it correctly.

Can you do the "snapshot tool" on your Adobe reader? If so, snapshot the whole thing. Then open up power point, click paste. Then right click the image that is pasted and click "save as picture" then when you save make sure you switch it to JPG.

I give up! I just tried that, but it didn't work.

Although, I didn't even know about the snapshot tool, so thanks for letting me know about that!

hey I'm going to PM you...

Thanks!

you can count me in. YOu can also do this at ESPN. and Kim... if you can't save the snapshot, do a printscreen of your computer and save it like that.

(i got Kim covered!)

Is it terrible that I'm considering doing cardio at the gym JUST so I can watch the LSU game...?

I hope LSU spanks UNC. For one thing, the NCAA unfairly stacks the power conferences and lets teams like UNC to play games that are essentially at home. Duke, too. A freakin' unfair advantage, if you asked me.

So, I hope none of the major power conferences win the national championship, and I hope a sleeper or a Cinderella sneaks in, like Utah, and steals the show. I USED to be a HUGE NCAA March Madness fan, but now ..

So, I hope LSU spanks UNC just because.

Paotie.. you and just about everyone in the nation hate how the NCAA do their brackets. It never makes any sense.

Yay! :woo-hoo:

Let me know if you guys can't read any of it!

Okay, I want to play, but I can't get this stupid bracket thing to work. I may have to wait until I get home.

I would love to play but I can't figure out how to post my bracket.

Ok If you have your bracket saved as an image, you can PM me the image and I'll post it.

Okay. I'm in business now. Please keep in mind I don't follow sports. At all unless it's my alma mater going up against our rival. And while my alma mater is in the tourney, I know they aren't going very far.

duh, another way for it to work is just post the link to where your bracket is online...

(like CBS sports, yahoo sports, espn)

Just paste the link in the comments and we'll know it.

Ok I just realized I didn't write in a champion on mine Ok my pick for the overall winner is Pittsburgh.

Gonna call it quits at the championship game, sy?

Apparently that was the plan!

GEAUX TIGERS! We won!

Yay! So far both of my picks won! (OK, they were two of my less-risky picks, but still!)

Make that all three of my picks! I missed Memphis!

Yay Memphis!!!!

So far, so good with my picks.

I'm 2/3 so far.

So when is submission cut off since there are an easy three points now?

I still haven't had the chance to do my picks..

Up to you guys. I'm not that competitive about it.

It's up to sy, but I say shut it off in the next few minutes and don't allow points for the games that have already ended. I would say cut it off soon, though, since more games have already started. But, that's just my two cents! Whenever it's cut off, I think it makes sense to not allow points for games that have already begun. But, there's still a slight advantage because you know for sure who will be in the next game.

I don't care. Whatever ya'll decide. I would certainly say before 2nd round starts though.

OK, I hadn't seen that you said it was up to us, sy! I say by the end of the day (maybe 5:00 or 6:00 et) today would be good. Although, Myst works in sports marketing, so maybe I should say now so we all have a better shot of winning.

Ok I'll edit the main post!

It's updated - for all who are interest you can still play as long as you link to your bracket or post it as an image in the comments by 6 pm ET today

If you posted after 2:30 ET, you do not get points for the three games that already happened.

Thanks, sy! I don't want to be the final decider if others disagree, but I think that seems like an OK cut off point.

Works for me. I'm just hoping Myst doesn't beat us all though.

So far I haven't missed on. MS State is going to prove me wrong.

Rather MS State is trying to prove me wrong.

Same here, starangel.

I just filled out a bracket yesterday. I took some big risks. I had a number 8 seed winning the whole thing. LOL

darn is it too late to post mine? I'm just getting home. We were called for a meeting right before I got the chance to post mine and it ended up lasting 5 freaking hours. I didn't leave the office until 9:30pm

I think it's okay Myst. You said you were going to join a long time ago.
