    Frogdice March Madness 2017

    This is a quick post with bare bones details so people can start working on brackets.

    Frogdice March Madness 2017:

    https://tournament.fantasysports.yah...07&soc_trk=lnk

    Password: greengriffon

    Basic Rules:

    1) You can have up to 3 brackets.

    2) Progressive scoring system: 1-2-3-4-5-6 so early rounds are not completely dwarfed by the end.

    3) Prizes:

    • 1st Place: $50 game credit

    • 2nd Place: $30 game credit

    • 3rd Place: $20 game credit

    • Bonus Prize: $10 game credit - Criterion TBD based on how things play out. Could be a trash talk award. Could be a booby prize. We'll see!


    Game credit = Choose Medallions or Reg credit (Reg credit = XP, coin, and TCs but does not add to your reg total).


    4) Entry Fee: None!

    Capitalization is the difference between "I had to help my Uncle Jack off a horse." and "I had to help my uncle jack off a horse."

    Oh glorious day.

    That time is upon us. Who will be busted on day one?

    There's not a day goes by I don't feel regret. Not because I'm in here; or because you think I should. I look back on the way I was then: a young, stupid kid who committed that terrible crime. I want to talk to him. I want to try to talk some sense to him, tell him the way things are. But I can't. That kid's long gone and this old man is all that left. I gotta live with that. Rehabilitated? It's just a bullshit word. So go ahead and stamp your forms, sonny, and stop wasting my time. Because to tell you the truth, I don't give a shit.

    My "crazy" picks bracket is already 1/3 and my dream bracket is 2/3. (goddamnit Princeton).

    Day 1: Pretty much all chalk. Boring. Hope things heat up in day 2!

    So Dayton didn't go anywhere this year (Sad, always like to see your alma mater do well), but Xavier is surprising!

    My "pure chalk" bracket is supposedly in 1st place right now. That makes for a pretty boring tournament so far imho.

    Scott's "Gagreax #3" bracket has the highest possible points. I have no idea why that isn't the tiebreaker for which tied for 1st bracket to show first.

    The reason I'm not #1 is because currently, I'm 1 point behind the "chalk" (or close to) brackets.

    If I continue to have correct guesses, it should push me forward when the games begin again.

    Ah, I missed that. I thought you were tied.

    But now it is moot because you are now solidly in 1st place!

    You mean you didn't flip a coin to make your picks?
