Our family pool weights the rounds:

1 pt for play-in
2 pts for round 1
4 pts for round 2
6 pts for sweet 16
8 pts for elite 8
10 pts for final four
12 pts for champion

tiebreaker is total points from championship game (closest, over OR under)

The weighted rounds give more of an even playing field (a couple of my grandkids pick their teams based on mascot or school colors...).

What kind of point system are the rest of you used to using?

I used to have at work one that gave the number of points per the winning seed every round. So if you picked a 10 seed to go to the Sweet 16 and they did, you got ten points each round.

Definitely favored being riskier with your picks, so it was an interesting take.

Thats what happened at caseys last week before I went in, left trails on the floor even, not sure how. Most disgusting thing I'd seen. Nearly heave thinking of it.
Some one at my school would **** on the floor every day for like 2 weeks. They never caught the guy. Also someone smeered **** all over the toilet seat once that **** was so nasty.

someone got **** all over the outside of a toilet, apparently.

Boggles the mind...

I guess some people never grow out of the "paint the walls with your own diaper poop" stage...

My sister told me there was someone peeing on the floor in one of the guys bathrooms, so they closed it for a while. First day they re-opened it, more urine on the floor.

yeah IDK, I was in there being a normal non-disgusting person and admin girl came in and is like "CG, I didn't think I'd be cleaning **** off toilets today"

I'm like you do not get paid enough to do that and you should ask for a raise, ha!

I did not see the damage myself but it was bad enough that she was cleaning it off and not letting it stay til the cleaning people get here at 5.



We had that happen once at home. People who regularly came to our farm for farm purposes - one asked if they could use the bathroom. We're like sure. Brother goes in afterward and is like THEY **** ON THE FLOOR!

I was in college by then but I guess yeah, it was like they shifted a foot to the right or something and just left it right there. We usually start crying of laughter when this story gets told because we're like how did they not notice?! and how did they think WE wouldn't notice?!?!?



Now I'm trying to figure out which female present at work today is the culprit.

Look for the hottest girl in the office. She's probably the one.

Not exactly sure.
This caseys guy obviously was sick or something. I lifted the lid with my foot (always do this in public restrooms, always flush with my foot also) to go (no urinal at this caseys just a stool) and under the seat was caked and at the front was a pile. I knew something wasn't right because the amount of time the previous person was in there and then saw a tan trail going to the stool. It's like he dropped his pants and couldn't make the last three feet.

If you want to join the tourney bracket, I'll run it through cbssports.com

PM your E-mail address to me and I can send you an invite (it will come from CBS and may come into your spam, FYI). If you're not comfortable with sending your E-mail, you can send a pic of your bracket to me in a PM and I can enter you as an off-line player. You just won't have instant access to check your standings.

As far as the tourney rules. I usually forego the play-in (aka Hawkeye) games and start with the real round one. I weight them 1-2-4-8-16-32. If people don't want the later rounds weighted that heavily, I'm open to suggestions. That usually keeps it interesting until the championship game, though.

Surprised they had electricity back then.

It was actually great fun. Torks bar wasn't that far away and we managed to push Marv's car over there and return with some kegs which we used to host a party in Dana House with. :)

Believe some of the recently (at that time) liberalized booze in the dorm policies changed after that.

Dana House partiers unite! (Even different vintages)
