Title: March Madness Tournament Pick em!
Post by: TheHobbit13 on March 11, 2018, 08:19:47 PM
Any interest for a Redemption bracket pool? I can host on Yahoo and was planning on doing standard scoring (i.e. 1, 2,4,8, etc for each win)

If you follow the link you will be able to fill out a bracket for the ncaab tournament by clicking on the team you want to advance each round. Overall, the goal is to accumulate the most points throughout all of the rounds which give increasing weight to correct picks (e.g. correct final four picks are worth 16 points vs 1 point for first round picks). The teams are ranked from 1-16 with 1 being the best .

If you pick every game correctly I will personally write you a check for $ 1bajillion*.

*Offer void in TX, HI and other states where 1 bajillion is not a number.

Five Six Seven games in and only two one players (myself and joseph) have no one has a chance at a perfect bracket!

My $1 bajillion looks definitely safe for another year.

Go Loyola-Chicago!

It looks like we are mirror brothers or maybe mirror cousins. I am currently in third, but with the third lowest potential points!  Already lost both teams I picked to make the championship game.

I think you jinxed yourself. This has to be the craziest march madness ever.
Title: Re: March Madness Tournament Pick em!
Post by: The Guardian on March 18, 2018, 11:19:52 PM
At this point, I think going forward they should just grab 64 teams and randomly assign them spots in the bracket...
Title: Re: March Madness Tournament Pick em!
Post by: TheHobbit13 on March 18, 2018, 11:54:32 PM
nah, we just forget where choke city is... :'( I was sitting mighty good if Xavier won it all...

It's ok I just gotta keep calm and  Rock Chalk J-Hawks (but not too much Rock. Can't have them winning).

Congrats to Joe on locking up this year's Redemption bracket challenge. I'm satisfied with a second place finish (or tied for second) with how crazy this year's tournament was.  8)

All I can say Is i definitely didn't expect this to happen after how the tournament started. Crazy tournament and hopefully the finals will be a good one.

Based on the brigade I just assumed he was a Browns fan.

Edit: I would also like to propose his stats be changed to 0/16 to show some brown team spirit.

So I've seen this a couple places now where the ability says you may search for a [list including artifact] and play it. How does one play an idol(artifact)? Can you just immediately activate it? Does it matter if you already have an active artifact?[/list]

Play
A card is considered “played” if it meets these criteria:
• You play an enhancement when it is used by a character, unless it is being used by a
character in battle because the previous character to use it has been removed from battle.
• You play a character or rainbow site by putting it in your territory or your side of the
battle.
• You play any other card type by putting it face up on the playing surface from hand,
deck, Reserve, Artifact pile or discard pile due to your ability or game action, except
when you discard a card from hand.
