Men's NCAA Basketball (NCAA Tournament - 1st and 2nd Rounds)

All right. First things first. You need to go to http://games.espn.go.com/tcmen/en/group?groupID=21856 and fill out a bracket. You might have to create an account if you don't have one yet. Please name your entry so that is matches your name on the League. ESPN lets you fill out multiple brackets. Pick your best one and enter it into the group.

The group name is Prediction League and the password is "Poor Butters".

We will score this so that you the person with the highest ranking gets 30 points, second gets 28, third gets 26...and so on until the last place person gets 0 points.

Final Standings:
1 – Scott S (30pts)
2 – Kubatski Sr (28pts)
3 – Carmen (25pts)
3 – Kubatski (25pts)
5 – Dave (22pts)
6 – Butters (20pts)
7 – Jeff (16pts)
7 – Scott T (16pts)
7 – Waders (16pts)

12 – Katie (6pts)
12 – Murray (6pts)
12 – Princess G (6pts)
15 – Marty (2pts)
16 – Paulie (0pts)

Second things second. Our fantasy team. Pick 5 players. I will keep track of their total points, rebounds and assists for the ENTIRE TOURNAMENT. You want players who will get big stats and go deep. RULE: You must pick one player from a 1-3 seed, one player from a 4-6 seed, one player from a 7-9 seed, one player from a 10-12 seed, and one player from a 13-16 seed. Scoring for fantasy will also be based on rank. 1st place gets 15 points, 2nd place gets 14 points and so on. Last place will get 0 points.
