P-F-R March Madness pool 2010
First prize is we will do a podcast (yeah, that's right) on the player or team/season of your choice. Also honor and glory.
Rules: each team has a price, listed below. Pick as many teams as you want, as long as the total price stays at 100 or less. The winner will be the entry with the most total wins by all teams in the entry. First tiebreaker is greatest number of 16 seeds, second tiebreaker is greatest number of 15 seeds, etc. No point will be awarded for winning the play-in game.
Enter by putting a comma-delimited string of team numbers in the comments, like this:
3,8,12,14,...
which would correspond to Baylor, Duke, Georgetown, Gonzaga, etc. It doesn't matter what order you put the teams in. I will try to check all the entries to make sure they're legal, but I make no guarantees. It's your responsibility to make sure your entry is legal. Deadline is tipoff of Thursday's first game.

Congrats, Matt
All in all, I'm happy with my results. My strategy produced 2.625 points per team picked. Only Jim A. had a higher such ratio with his 2.889, and there were only 5 people with at least 2.000. Not bad for someone who knows little about basketball.
So what's the podcast subject going to be and when the hell is it going to be posted!
