NCAA Pick'em Contest

[texas twister]

I believe that this is the 19th time also.

Same rules as before except change at #6. Can be edited up to 10 pm CST Wednesday. I will tabulate and post results Sunday.

1. Pick the top 3 placers (1 point for each of the 3, 1 point for the champion, ½ point for runner-up)
Please list with seeding number if a top 2 seed. Example - Megalutus #2, Clark, Delgado #1.
2. No more than 6 #1 seeds can be selected to win.
3. No more than 6 #2 seeds can be selected to win
4. Only 8 #1 and only 8 #2 seeds can be selected top 3
5. Select top 5 teams in order (5 points for #1 pick, 3 for #2 pick, 2 for #3 pick and 1 for #4 pick. 1 additional
point for each of the top 5 picked in the top 5)
6. Select highest point gainer - 2 points (replacing OW)
7. Select winning team score - within 5, 3 points. Within 1, 2 additional points
8. Pick 1 wild card unseeded wrestler (#13 or greater). Placement points at placement value. List weight class.
9. Select each Hawk's placement for each weight. 3 points spot on, 2 one off, and 1 point two spots off. Place it on same single weight class line (options are 1st - 8th or DNP). Redundancy not necessary (#2 Lee, #1 Suranno, Tomato) No need to mention Lee twice.

This is awesome, thanks. Couple of questions for you because I am occasionally dumb. For #8, we would get the same points as the placement points earned by the underdog who made the podium? For #9, would we get 3 points for being spot on picking a DNP?

Yes and yes. Picking DNP is picking a placement. Wildcard pick that places scores 16 or 12 or 10 and so on depending what actual place he takes.

Let me guess....you're the one responsible for writing the U.S. tax code? That's what I thought of when I read these rules.

Inthecircle was only a couple minutes late. I guess out of the goodness of my heart and the $20,000 cash bribe, I'll include him.
