Day 33 - The Official NCAA Tournament Office Pool Winner

WOW...

This got way closer than I expected and you guys who voted were pretty spot on...

I beat Summer by 1 point.

Seriously.

Let me repeat that for extra effect: A 25 year old male beat a 3 year old female in an NCAA pool by 1 point.

To be honest, I don't feel good about it because she is the ONLY one of us to have picked the right team to win...

As I said from the get go scoring went like this:

First Round = 1 point for every correct pick

Second Round = 2 points

Sweet Sixteen - 5 points

Elite Eight - 10 points

Final Four - 15 points

Championship - 20 points

So, despite the fact Summer was able to correctly choose UNC as the National Champion I got a leg up on her by correctly picking 5 to her 4 in the Sweet Sixteen...

Final Tally -

Bictor: 109 points

Summer: 108 points

Ethan: 72 points

Owen: 51 points

Couple things:

- Ethan was rolling through the first two rounds and then he got derailed...but I'm still blown away by the fact he nailed 14 of the teams who made the Sweet Sixteen...Very impressive.

- One day in the future, Owen is going to be unbelievably ashamed of his performance in his first NCAA pool...

What did I learn? That girls ALWAYS do well because they have no idea what they are doing by and large...its ridiculous.

That being said, I'm still taking them to get a prize today...least I can do...

And yes...I will be wearing this when we go...
