Speedsolving.com March Madness

[Edmund]

Hey, in the past the sports things haven't always worked out too well because these types of threads (like fantasy or stuff) are always made kind of late. So I figured better safe than sorry. So despite the teams not being announced yet I made a group on Yahoo, the group is called Speedsolving.com March Madness. The group ID# is 19262 and the password for the pool is speedsolvingncaab.
Hope we get a lot of people!
Open to all on this forum.

It should work now
I don't think the password or ID# is necessary anymore but I'll leave it open just in case.

And to describe what "March Madness" is, it is the top 65 men's college basketball teams in one big tournament and most of it happens during March. A lot of people in the US fill out brackets with their predictions and throw some money in: first place gets the money but sometimes it's split between the top 2. However in this forum it's just for fun.

You have to be a member of the group in order to see that page. I can't find a way to join the group other than an email invite.

Hi,

If you all can scan in a copy of your brackets by the time the first game is played, I will be more than happy to keep track of the scores. I have done the scorekeeping this way in the past, as not everyone wants to create an account on whatever site is used. I'll be using excel, of course.

So like, don't we all think it would be a nice idea to tell us what "Speedsolving March Madness" is?? By the looks of that link, it's something to do with basketball. For srs learn to make threads properly.

March Madness is a term used in the U.S.A. to reference the annual NCAA basketball tournament.

I figured I'd bump this to let you know that the brackets came out today. The link should be working now also. I'm hoping for at least 10 please.

 

[Alex DiTuro]

Just picked my teams. I'm liking my picks!

 

[miniGOINGS]

It doesn't cost anything? I might as well.

EDIT: Nevermind, I thought this was about speedcubers...

Pretty much anyone that would know enough to play knows what the term means. The thread is completely reasonable.

Also, the link works now for anyone interested.

And what if there was someone that hadn't heard of it but could have participated?

For all I knew, it was something I might have been interested in.

That's what google is for.

You spelled KU wrong.

 

[Carson]

Ok... my bracket is up. This should be interesting since I don't follow sports and don't really care. I actually did pick UK to win it all... even though I hope they lose. (@Shaden)

 

[DavidWoner]

Xavier ftw! They're superpowered mutants, how could they lose?

Hmph. I don't browse a forum to find reasons to google things.

 

[pjk]

I'm in. I joined, and I'll setup my bracket soon.

I love how people idolize college players. Do you realize that they pay to go play? That the colleges are raking in money like nothing you've ever seen because of these guys? These people are paying the school so the school can use their name and make even more money. Something is seriously messed up with our system.

Ranting done for the day. Sorry to kill the mood.

Do you think Wall or Cousins actually have to pay to go to college? Even if they did, we're not forcing them to play. They play because they want to. No one is making them.
