The INTERCOT 2008 Bracketology Challenge

[Strmchsr]

Can anyone tell me...

What does PPR mean? And why do most people have 1680 of them and some of us, including myself have 0?

PPR is possible points remaining. Once you have completely filled out your bracket you begin the tournament with a potential of earning 1680 points if you got every single pick correct. As your picks bust and games are played that possible point total remaining goes down.

If you have 0 PPR that means you haven't completely filled out your bracket yet.

I don't know anything about sports, but it was fun to fill out the bracket. So when does all this start?

I joined the group "ICOT CHALLENGE" but it didn't require a password. Hope I'm in the right group!

I'm in - well, I should say we're in as Phil helped me pick most of the teams. Of course, I picked Pitt all the way (had to - they're the only basketball team I'll willingly watch, college or pro!).

[brownie]

Go Michigan State! Thanks for setting this up again!

[scoot241]

I'm in... but I do have to ask... what about the women's tournament?

[disneymajik]

I'm in as well. Thanks for hosting one for Intercot!!

Hmmmm....do I give the PC answer or the honest answer?

[Momof2boys]

Ohhhh I can only hope I do as good as I did last year. I think I tied with someone for 1st.

Good luck !

[Mackflava99]

Thanks for the invite- i joined !

[WDW24]

I'm in! I am pretty excited about March Madness!

[scoot241]

Hmmmm....do I give the PC answer or the honest answer?

I know both answers, but honestly LSU men's basketball is horrible and women's basketball is awesome. The women's tournament itself isn't very exciting until the sweet 16, since the difference between the top teams and the other teams is pretty big.

Well I joined in..... but I confess I know nothing about basketball. I named the teams to DD5 and let her pick them all :0)

[kaerbear178]

I just finished mine! I love March Madness...even if Iowa isn't in this year. Works out better for my brackets though, I don't feel guilty not picking them to win!

[wendy*darling]

I'm in- and glued to the tube all weekend
I LOVE college basketball! Go Purdue- whoo hoo! Go Big Ten!

This is my absolute favorite time of the year (except for when I am at WDW ).

I just can't seem to get back in to print out my bracket- not all day yesterday- and not now (but we are minutes away from the start of the Madness). I'll try again later, I guess.

[Hammer]

Linda, I had trouble with printing out my bracket as well. One of the benefits of working for Comcast is we have TVs everywhere (though I work on Hi-Speed Internet) and I am not going to miss much of the tournament action (except when I have to attend 2 meetings this afternoon ).

[WDWfanatic742]

Every game today except the 9PM Games done and so far only two people still have perfect brackets. That sure didn't take long...

UPDATE - Only one person left now with a perfect record. Going by the ranks that the people who missed only 1 game, 33,765 people have a perfect bracket left.

Just imagine how low that number would have been if Belmont had held on against Duke.

[WDWfanatic742]

That game scared me. I have Duke going to the Final Four
