Gamelive March Madness Basketball Contest?

[IAG]

Running contests is tough isn't it Mr. M. Man...you should have seen the first 10 liners I tried to run over at SP. Horrible. Everyone disagreeing on amounts, whether to pay 1/4 or halfs etc... You just have to set an amount, set the rules and whoever joins joins. You can't please everyone all the time. Thank you for organizing this. Seriously, I know what a PITA it can be. I will have no idea what I'm doing, but I'm a joiner.

We could always throw in some ncaab 10 liners as well if we need additional action.

I'm not even complaining, I'm just stating why I'm out.

Really, nothing personal here against your bracket but I just think it's lame.

Everyone will have the same picks, unless they are dumb and risk a 13 over a 4. Not that it won't happen it does every year but the odds that they win outright are so low it makes no sense to take any risks. Picking the 13 only gets you a point, so why not take the favorite? Even if the 13 does win the odds that they win again are even less so take the higher seed again, and so on and so forth.

I mean you really have nothing to lose by taking the favorite in almost every game with this scoring. Ya gotta add the seeds at least in the first round IMO.

Reading what you have stated, than you probably will win this contest easily! Everyone will have the exact same picks but you, and you will win ..... or come in last place?

I stated more accurately in post #125 why you're out!

Jesus Monkey, calm down.

People don't really give a shit anyway.

I'm not mad! I'm just making fun of you as calmly as possible! Honestly, if you ended up saying you'll play, I would say thanks but no thanks! I know now to scratch you off my invitation list for the future! TY kindly!

 

[MrMonkey]

Sorry CB, disappointed is what I really am! No problem here, you were just the messenger in the message I was trying to get across as a whole! Think of yourself as collateral damage!

 

[IAG]

I think anyone who posted in the food thread should be required to be in your contest Mr.M. Hell, make it for $5.00. But either way, it will be fun for those who are in.

 

[MrMonkey]

Thanks Matty! You're a fast worker!

 

[MrX]

So is this thing on or what?

 

[MrMonkey]

So is this thing on or what?

Yes it is! Go to the CBS Sports site and look at the message board! Scoring system info and a poll question for people to decide on the winning payout plan! Or if you like another let me know?

League password not working

Gotta sign up for a CBS sports account first. Did you do that?

 

[MrMonkey]

Casper, did you do what M-LO stated above? For sure?

Do they have like, a quick pick option? I feel a random computer generated bracket would give me a better shot over me actually thinking about match ups.
