I assume you have to win the SM pick to get the 5 bonus points. One lost but got the right point total.

Well if my math is correct, it looks like we have a tie in the south division between Mc415 and EN_FB_Alum. Both sitting with 34 points. Idk how we decide the tie breaker, it was never discussed. Sorry. Maybe you can pick a saturday game? Del Oro vs Jesuit and or Valley Christian vs Serra. Pick the winner of the game for one point and five points for the poster who comes closest to the total points scored for the game. The winner moves on to face Bubba3000 in round two. In the event there is another tie, the poster who picks first will advance. Or is there a much easier way to decide?

 

[Streak One]

I think higher seed moves on in event of a tie. Rewards the regular season.

For total points, I think if you hit it, it is 5 points regardless of who you picked for the winner.

That's how I would do it

Just bustin his balls, but you really should reward the higher seed for their overall performance for several months. Using the first picker is a tough out. With college and NFL on the weekend some might not even be looking in on here until Monday.

Agree on both.

Crete,
Hopefully you and the others that made it to the "Sweet 16" in Game 2, keep playing! You never know brotha, you might be the last man standing.

 

[concrete17]

Ohhhh........the crete's a little slow on the snap count. That's great news Coach! I'm back in the game.

Made me laugh in my current condition about "Last man standing " we can hope.

Thanks Sacchiefs for steering this big boy toy boat.

 

[FBAddict]

Oh, we must be starting all over in the playoff system with the first round North/South matchups being a mock run. Its like the NCS Open playoffs
