Hey look, college basketball has started. Great. As expected we’ll go wall-to-wall college hoops today. It’s that big.
From the “Talks too much” studios, the ball is tipped.
Bracket bonanza
We are participating in three bracket related challenges.
Basketball tileFirst we will play in the TFP office pool, and since it’s for entertainment purposes only, we hope to have as much entertainment as last year when Louisville won it all and made our bracket the office standard. Good times.
Second, we will host and play in the fourth annual “Method to the Madness: Last-in, First-out Challenge.” The rules are easy, pick the first No. 1 seed to get bounced and the last double-digit seed to be left in the dance. Since there are more double-digit seeds in the draw, in the case of a split tie (one has the double-digit and one has the No. 1 seed correct), we’ll give extra credence to the double-digit seed. If we still have a tie after that, we’ll let the Electric Elite Eight Shootout challenge serve as a second tie-breaker. (The Electric Elite Eight Shootout is when you pick two players alive in the second weekend and the pair that scores the most total points wins. We’ll get to that next week.)
