This is a pick 'em tourney (i.e. player 1 picks Uconn, player 2 picks Duke etc. until all 64 are chosen.
If there are 4 players, each will have 16 teams to root for to gain points in the 'league').

Same as last year. Post that you're in. We start selecting teams as soon as the bracket is out.
I'll post the selection order. Snake-style draft, so if there are four people, it goes 1,2,3,4,4,3,2,1,1,2,etc.

Selection Sunday is March 14, so we gotta start picking that night.

Points...round
1...top 32
1...top 16
2...top 8
4...top 4
5...top 2
5...champ

I am in.

No.

Then I'll emoragequit.

They're 5th in the country, assured of a #2 seed unless they get boned. But either way, it's safe to assume I'm going to use my first pick on them.

We could assign proxies if we're not online.

Or if you're really bored, you could rank all 64 teams and if you're not online, you automatically get the next team off your list.

In my opinion, people requesting specific teams ahead of selection time is bullshit.

Players should be allowed to chose the team they want at the time it's available, regardless of whose pussy will end up getting hurt by the choice. If Ohio State is ranked 5th, and I have 5th pick, and Mango is 6th, fuck him. Why should I handicap my team to assuage his feelings?

Either all picks are game for everyone, or I'm out.
No.

I thought calling picks was just joking anyway.

By the way, I call St. John's in March 2014.
