  • 34th netnews NCAA tourney - oldest active game on the internet?

    From Greg Flint@21:1/5 to All on Mon Mar 13 13:57:40 2017
    Official rules for the 2017 - 34th annual netnews NCAA tourney contest

    There are ** TWO ** ways to enter this year.

    Method 1: Go to:
    http://netnews29.mayhem.cbssports.com
    and enter your picks. (Yeah, it's an old-sounding URL, but the bracket
    is for this year.)

    Password: usenet

    Method 2: Send me ALL your bracket selections before any of the
    non-play-in games begin. A pairing bracket is available at:

    http://www.gfphoto-web.com/br3.txt

    either fill it out completely, or send me the winning team names for
    each round. (Please use the same name strings I used in that bracket.)

    My email is: gfphoto at gfphoto-web.com

    First round picks are worth one point, second round picks are worth
    two points, etc. Picking the NCAA champ correctly in the sixth round is worth 6 points. I will post score updated periodically throughout
    the tournament.

    Top 3 after round 3:

    62 - Stewart Ryckman
    58 - Chuck Davis
    57 - Greg Flint, Jennifer Beineke

    Using the Sagarin Ratings would have gotten a person
    to a current value of 61.

    Top 4 - Final standings

    81 - Greg Flint - my first win in 10 or 15 years
    72 - Jennifer Bieneke
    68 - Barack Obama - since he makes them available
    67 - Stewart Ryckman, RSK

    a total of 79, good enough for second place.
