Everyone at SFAI received this mystifying message from our interim Prez today:
"I have created an on-line location where anyone from SFAI who wishes to participate can enter their predictions for the March NCAA tournament. As our SFAI team did not make it this year, there is no conflict of interest. If you would like to participate, you should go to the site and enter your selections. Due to the “play-in” games, it is still a bit premature, but once these games are over on Wednesday, the bracketing will be set."
I thought perhaps with the assistance of "It's a Catch" I could shine despite my complete lack of knowledge of the NCAA...but March madness doesn't seem to have caught on there, at least unless it was March 2009.
So...nephews (and interested nieces...) what should I predict?

Carnage!
I'm also predicting all but one of the teams will lose!
There's a Catch is woefully understaffed, with just two [writers too busy to post].
It could use some updating, but here's a post that implies some very generic advice. Nine seeds win more often than eights, and twelves beat fives more than elevens beat sixes.
I think you should pick Kansas to win, since you're from Kansas.
Here's my bracket ... use it at your own peril ... I just looked at it and filled it out ... I'm trying to write pages these days, so I haven't had much time to pay attention.

I just realized I picked 3 #1 seeds to make the final 4. Oh well ... I did my bracket in pen, so there's no going back!
Thanks! I'm going to slavishly follow this. I may ask that they add the Women's NCAA to the...whatever the right word is...contest? pool?
Oops. That was one horrible bracket. However, my original prediction of "Carnage" was right on.
