    Alright, here's what I'm thinking:

    Given Tommy's questionable vacation plans and other likely commitments we all have in life, I'm thinking of doing a blind tournament with a overall point differential* tie breaker to avoid people missing picks between games.

    Feel free to PM me your picks if you'd like, but here's what we're looking at:

    [​IMG]

    * Eg., "+17" if you think UF ends it's tournament run outscoring the opponents by 17 points. "-8" if you think UF gets outscored by 8 points.

    **Also - I'm open to doing it live if you all prefer.

    [​IMG]

    I can make sure I keep this updated between games and we can do a game by game pick and updated point differential for each game. I think this would be more fun, but would require some diligence from everyone.

    Do any of us that predicted a 14-4 record (even if we guessed half the games wrong) get a prize? Perhaps a lollipop

    You did get a prize! You were awarded one shiny bonus point.

    Sadly for you, even with that amazing prize, you were still 2 points off from competing.

    Just for clarity on this post-season mini-Extravaganza.

    We're doing game-by-game picks. Picking the most W/L correctly will determine the winner.

    With a total of only 3 games possible, the chance of a tie is quite high.

    We'll use closest to the correct point differential to break a tie. This is a game by game stat that will be averaged across all games played.

    For example, as seen above, head has UF winning +11. If UF wins +9, he's 2 off. If there's a second game and he misses by 4 points. His average will be 3. Lowest / closest average breaks the tie.

    Should this still end in a tie - I'll owe a lot of bourbon.

    @tommyvee has less than 9 hours to wake up, have a bloody mary, and get his pick in.
