CF’s “Auto-Bid Madness” returns.
Our 2020 challenge was cut short, due to — well, you know.
Rules are straightforward: Pick the automatic bid for NCAA men's basketball tournament, in each of the 31 conferences. (Ivy League season was canceled). One point for each correct pick.
First tiebreaker: Big 12 champion correct
Second tiebreaker: Big Ten champion correct
Due to pandemic and uncertainty of scheduling, it’s possible forfeits will occur. To simplify, if a team you pick to win is sidelined, we’ll treat that as a loss, and won’t allow anyone to revise choices. (Not ideal, we know).
Deadline: 8 p.m. CST Monday, March 1.
ALERT: America East, Big South and Horizon tournaments are underway. Please take this into account when making your choices. (sorry for late start to the thread)
