Oh, sorry, I am remiss
in The Assembly, yesterday, by random
We chose using the ncaa.com to run the brackets because your email address doesn't show to the rest of the players unless that's what you put in as your name
posted it in the TL but not here
We're all over the place like mustard on mayo
@MichaelMyers ah, scrubbed the old version then
@waxeagle NCAA is much easier to deal with (said no student-athlete ever)
lol
woo for 3rd party auth at least
Michael Myers has added an event to this room's schedule.

As is tradition, I have micro-optimized my bracket to maximize my chances of winning, meaning I'm not picking teams that I really want to pick
and I will lose anyway
Spent a while picking out the nicer sounding schools you wouldn't necessarily put as safety schools, and then found out there's a bottom half of the screen to then just pick whatever
debating whether or not to pick local U in their first game
Austin Peay all the weay
UT Chattanooga!
(for a crushing first round defeat)
though my alma mater made the D3 tourney this year
(and then promptly got creamed)
going to make a better announcement so it looks good on the sidebar
Pick your March Madness basketball tournament winners here! No cost to sign up, no cost to play, no prizes for winning.

@MichaelMyers this reminds me of my wife's CFB pool at work. She doesn't know jack about football, doesn't care, doesn't watch (actively hates at times). She pulled up the point spread every week and nearly won the league.
17:08
@waxeagle We almost banned one person in our office from participating in our CFB pool (one game per week against the spread). She picked the same team every week and finished second.
Entered. Go Badgers!
@MichaelMyers the one they run in her office is 20 games a week picked straight up with confidence points 1-20.
@waxeagle You'd think that such a large sample size would increase the value of skill over luck
@BenMiller You never know - they certainly finished the year strong
@MichaelMyers you'd think so. And to some degree it depends on the slate of games chosen (the previous week's winner gets to pick the weeks' games). If all the games are <5 pt spreads, it's a tough week. But often there's a week where you have 5-7 10+ spreads and down from there.
