• How to win your bracket pool without picking any Final Four teams

    From The NOTBCS Guy@21:1/5 to All on Sat Mar 12 08:44:28 2022
    For some reason, ESPN has changed the way it determines the winner of its basketball tournament bracket contest. The winner is chosen by a random draw of all of the brackets that did any of the following:
    (a) Correctly picked the NCAA champion
    (b) Correctly picked both teams in the final (or just one, if no bracket had both)
    (c) Correctly picked the most Final Four teams
    (d) Correctly picked the most Elite 8 teams
    (e) Correctly picked the most Sweet 16 teams
    (f) Correctly picked the most teams that won their first round games

    That is correct -- and that winner wins $100,000.

    It's always been a drawing -- just usually of the top 1%.
