How many here are part of the 13,375 left remaining? The first weekend knocked out 266,470 people.

I've used Texas Tech, Florida State, Houston and Creighton. Need to make 2 picks in the sweet 16 and then 1 for the remaining three rounds. I'm looking at Arkansas and Alabama this round, but I'm tempted to take Loyola and USC to save the higher ranked teams. If I make it out of this weekend, the plan for the elite 8 is Michigan, Baylor for the final 4 and Gonzaga in the finals.

What do you think? What's your strategy this weekend?

3,481/279,845 remain, this weekend saw Loyola and Alabama responsible for most of the knockouts.

Texas Tech>Florida St>Houston>Creighton>Arkansas>USC have been my picks so far. Going Michigan in the Elite 8, which leaves me Baylor and Gonzaga in the final 4 and championship. If I make it out of this round I'm going to seriously start consider hedging these games depending on how many people are left.

Who's your pick this round? How many do you think will be left at the end? Good luck to everyone!

The college basketball third month crazy time bracket has been released - would anyone be interested in a pool? I could make one on ESPN and share the link. I’m thinking no $, just bragging rights. Maybe we can even get the real Katie/Travis/Christina to participate!

Hello!

Tomorrow kicks off March and I wanted to get the bracket pool signup started. I want to make this affordable so the entry will be just 1oz. Payout will depend on the number of signups with the brackets being casted through ESPN.

Please drop your usernames below and let’s get it started!

I could have swear I saw this on one of the common apps like ESPN or sleeper or fantasy, I don’t remember where it was or if I just made it up entirely does anyone know an app or a website that can support this feature well? To guess the winner of each playoff matchup and the series score (ex. 4-1 6ers W vs the Celtics L)

I've been in a longstanding local pen-and-paper March Madness bracket pool with the organizer hand-scoring each entry. Sadly this year the organizer is not running the pool, and so I'm thinking of taking up the duties but using an online bracket site like RunYourPool or CBS Sports, etc.

What do you think is the best website to host a MM bracket pool that allows for seed multiplier scoring (ex: If a 3 seed wins in the 2nd round, it's worth 6 points)?

Hi All -

I wanted to gather some feedback here from this sub on what online website/software to use to manage a mid-sized office pool for the tourney.

We will most likely have around 100 employees participating. We don't charge entry fees and it is a yearly fun event for the staff where they can win a cash prize and then we also make a donation to a charity of their choice.

We have always done this through CBS Sports. It has been great in the past and has worked well. My only issue is that I will have at least 3 "tech-challenged employees" enter a bracket in a group from a previous year so I've had to track then two separate groups... This is why I am thinking about starting fresh on a new site so I don't have to worry about this headache.

What sites have others used here? Really looking for something that is free to use but if it has cool features for a fee I would be interested.

Thanks!
