    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.
    Sounds like a bastardized version of a Calcutta auction.

    There's three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who's got the same first name as a city; and never go near a lady's got a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

    • DH are you going to post the Friday games for us? That was really nice.
      Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

                • Amazing how many people have been burned by Baylor in the past, expressed concern, yet still took them today (myself included).

                          Baylor at halftime is trying to oblige.

                              • Deep 3-pointer gives Oklahoma State the cover at the buzzer. Wish I could have been at a Vegas sportsbook for that.
