3/28/11 - LROMMC 2011: Day 8 - Into the Final Four

I slacked off over the weekend. I didn't update at all until just now. Since Rick is the only person to still have a team in play, there will be no changes in the top of the standings. Although, if Kentucky does win the title, Rick will come within 1 point of 3rd place. The final results will be determined by the final score of the championship game.

3/26/11 - Walker March Madness Pool: Day 7

Here is a link to the spreadsheet of possible outcomes for the rest of the tournament. For the most part, everything revolves around UConn and where the end in the tournament.

If UNC makes it to the title game, Cristi wins and Gwen, Levell and Hussman battle out for 2nd and 3rd with Jason an off chance for 3rd.

If Kentucky makes it to the title game, Cristi wins, Gwen gets 2nd and Jason and ryan battle for 3rd.

If UConn makes it to the title game, it's all kind of a toss up there because I'm having trouble making sense of the results. I do know there is a top to bottom fight between Ryan, Jason and Cristi and Gwen has an off chance of getting 3rd. With all that, here are the standings as of Saturday night.

With the loss of Ohio State, that knocked out another large portion of people's brackets. I'll brag on my wife as the only person left to have all four of her final four team's still alive.

Let's all be honest, pretty much everyone's bottom half of the bracket is busted. There were actually two people with their final four team still alive, Cristi and Gwen both have UConn and Florida, Orsini has Arizona left, and Ryan, Phillip, Chris, Jason and Levell have UConn still going. There are I think 10 others that still have Florida alive as well.

So pretty much everyone's bracket was busted last night with the San Diego St and Duke loss, as well as the Pitt loss two rounds ago. In fact, out of the 35 entrants, I think there are only 12 brackets with a Final Four team left in the lower half of the bracket. Angi still has Arizona, Levell has UConn, Gwen has both UConn and Florida, and several others have Florida.

Great year for good games, horrible year for brackets.

These are the standings after this weekends games. There won't be another update until next Thursday evening after the Elite 8 has been decided. I'm not even going to try to guess what could happen from here on out, but most everyone has similar final fours and championship game setups with only minor differences. There could be some shake ups at the top of the board based on this next weeks games.

If my calculations are correct, we had 44 paid entries (and for the record, I do not give myself a free entry or take a cut of the pool money). I will have to do another count, but as of right now 1st, 2nd and 3rd place will receive $132, $66 and $22 respectively.

Thank you to all who have participated. I went from Monday morning, not wanting to do this, to picking up a record 40+ entries in just a few days. Because of this, obviously, we will have a record payout. I'll have more details this weekend.

Please check your bracket if you have a moment, and if you have any questions, let me know. If I don't have a tie breaker, I'll need to get that from you in the next couple of days.

I should mention, these scores are assuming that Kansas St. won their game. If this is not the case when I wake up in the morning, I'll update the scores.
