                There's a (small) chance I just forgot who I picked.

                  I'm taking my first extended look at this. Some interesting picks. If we assign the seed value to each pick and add the two picks of a participant together, it could be seen as a measurement of how much risk a person was willing to take by selecting more closely seeded match-ups. For example, my picks of West Virginia (a 4 seed) and Notre Dame (a 5 seed) yield a combined total of 9. Here are the highest ones I see:

                  DH - Maryland (6) and SMC (7) = 13
                  CMBF - Notre Dame (5) and Wisconsin (8) = 13
                  Copelius - Northwestern (8) and Wisconsin (8) = 16
                  Erin - Wisconsin (8) and Xavier (11) = 19(!)

                  I think Xavier (11) and Vanderbilt (9) are the only upset picks used today.

                  Conversely, Greg F. chose Villanova (1) and Gonzaga (1) on day one for a total score of 2.

                              • We do an interesting bracket thingy at my work. I have participated for at least 10 years and haven't really seen this format elsewhere. It is like a fantasy basketball for the tourney.

                                8 participants. $20 each. Randomly assigned a draft position (1-8). Then a snake draft. 1-8,8-1,1-8... You get to select a team with your draft selection until everyone has 8 teams.

                                Then $1 for first round wins, $2 for second, $3 for third, $4 for an elite eight win, then a jump to $20 for a final 4 victory and the winner gets the rest of the pot.

                                It may not be the best setup but it is unique and the draft is really fun. Every year we reserve one of the large conference rooms and get lunch and have the draft on Tuesday.
