Who's up for a weighted NCAA pool?
No money at stake, just for fun.

List all winners in every round, by round.

First round picks worth 1 point.
Second round - 2 points.
Third round - 4 points.
Fourth round - 8 points.
Fifth round - 16 points.
If you pick the champ, you get 32 points.

You must pick all rounds prior to the first tip-off on Thursday and post them.

Note that you must stick with your original picks, you can't change them during the Tournament. For example, if you pick Team A to go all the way, and Team A is eliminated in the Third round, you can kiss at least 32 + 16 + 8 + 4 = 60 points good bye. Get it?
