All Encompassing Bracket Thread w/ SWEET 16 RULES

[zman1415]

Ok, so I was bored while watching this game, so I figured I'd look at the composite set of picks.

38 on SJU
25 on Det
1 No pick

14 of the 32 matchups have people with opposing picks in game 1 of 10.

Nice work, zman.

You've set the standard, so I will now expect you to do this every night going forward.

[zman1415]

I had a big spreadsheet with all the picks by person, but it doesn't really mean anything until like tomorrow night when we have multiple picks and a prior record. I'll throw something together tomorrow night late probably.

Surprisingly high level of participation. Way to go degens.

Can we get a sticky thread in this area with the games and lines?
Just keep everything in one place?

Agreed, this shit is all over the place. When and where are the lines for tonight?

Am I the only one who thinks it's pretty funny that this is being referred to as the 2010-2011 Bracket Challenge?

Where is that Ryan fellow when you need him? This thread needs moderation!

[zman1415]

I agree with the idea of the sticky thread for all line updates. Lock it so only the Mods can post and add the lines day by day (or just sticky it and I'll update it day by day and we can delete nonessential posts to keep it clean) a second sticky thread might be useful for overarching standing updates. It just feels like there are 1000 places where this data is stored, and it might be easier for those in charge to post it in one location and easier for the readers too.

Going forward, I'll post the next day's lines in here AND in the rules thread.

Updated through Tuesday night. If you see any errors, please correct me, I was looking through everyone's at once, so there could be issues.

Well done. Man, you guys are doing great work with the contest scoring. Sort of making all of this look kind of professional and stuff.

[kreatture]

Love the spreadsheet zman. Very easy to read, well done!
