March Madness contest: What do you want?

[Beyond the Bets]

Conference tournament contests?
March Madness contests?

What do you want? Suggest a format. Suggest how it will operate. Etc.

We'll put together something here. Would prefer something fairly unique or innovative.

Idea #1:

Divide contestants into 4 groups (Boston-Atlanta-St. Louis-Phoenix) and have each group pick ATS in their respective region. Once there is a final 4 for the NCAA tournament, take the top capper from each region and have those 4 complete the tournament to determine the winner.

smart.

I think you'd have to cut the field at the Elite Eight.. or Sweet 16, to allow for more ATS plays for the "winner."

But if Spanishredeye participates.. I might as well sit back and watch.

That's a poor attitude.

You're in, and you're gonna kick my ass this time.

NCAA Tournament Points Scored (NBA-Jam Style):

- Each person picks a school
- Then picks 2 players from the school
- Keep track of total points scored between those 2 players for the tournament
- Bonus points if your player actually heats up and then catches fire at any point, in any game

what about a type of survivor pool? Pick a SU winner each day (not round) of the tournament and you cant repeat the pick. You'd need 12 picks to win it.
