Shipped.

I'm fine with whatever payouts you girls want.

I'm working on paper rough draft bracket right now. So far, I can't find any reason to knock off any #1 before the final 4.

Can I ship on FTP and just pick teams at random?

PShabi · #5 03-17-08, 05:36 PM

Yeah, I can cover you on Stars. Ship to HighOnTrife on FTP.

Also, I suggest a more scientific approach, like "cooler mascot" for your picks.

Am I right in understanding that first round picks are worth (1 point + seed) while round 2 picks are only worth 2 points total?

So, if you pick a #1 seed and they win in the first round, you get 2 points. If you pick a #5 seed and they win, you get 6. But making correct second round 2 picks are only worth 2 points?

That seems wacky to me. I think you should either go with bonuses or not go with them, but I think a first round only thing is going to totally skew the results.

It didn't in the one I was in last year, and Mel seems to have had experience with it. Let's hear from him, but imo, it makes it more interesting/fun (upsets are bigger) and won't skew nearly as much as you think.
