what no pool?

[Advanced Studies Project]

I found it suprising that there's no NCAA tourney pool in this group.
Sorry, I haven't got time to run one either, but perhaps this will do.
I'll accept predictions by e-mail for the tourney. I'll save the responses,
but make no promises about tallying ALL of them. If you think you've done
well at the end of the tournament, send me the results via mail, and I'll
verify and post the "winners". Better yet, if someone has time to write
a program to figure the results, please let me know.

How about the following format, which has worked for me in the past:

- Pick all games (in advance of the first round).
1st round: 1 pt.
2nd round: 2 pt.
3rd round: 4 pt.
...
Tournament champion: 64 pt.

- Total points.

- Send picks by rounds:
32 round 1 winners
----- Some separator -----
16 round 2 winners
etc.

First place gets bragging rights on the net and an inflated ego.
The tourney starts in 2 nights, so it's important that you send your picks
right away. However, if you don't see this posting until after Thursday
or Friday's games, send them anyway. I'd like to send my picks to somebody,
but if responses don't arrive before Thursday morning, I'll have to post
them.
