robnshell18 Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Here's a little exercise my buddies and I were thinking about. We filled out a bracket with our honest picks, we filled out brackets based on whose mascots could beat whose, and we filled out brackets based on whose colors were better. I was wondering if anyone else knew different ways to crack this nut?Basically, I'm looking to see which way's more accurate (I'm liking the mascot, myself).

RyanB06 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Pure chalk is a good one. That, in case you weren't aware, is a bracket where every higher seed wins.On the other end is the contraire bracket, in which you pick every lower seed to win.

Viper Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 You could just flip a coin (heads = higher seed, tails = lower seed) for each pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rams80 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 True story.....Once a couple of my friends did a "mascot" bracket that had the Duke Blue Devil go to the Final Four. Then they learned that the "Blue Devil" was a French soldier and amended the bracket so they lost in the first round.

DDR Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 You put slips of paper in a hat, the number of which for each team is based on the opposing team's seeding. For instance, the #1 seed gets 16 pieces of paper, the #16 gets 1. The #2 gets 15, the #15 gets 2. Then you pick. You do this for each game, ditching the slips (obviously) after you pick that game. It's kind of a calculated randomness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Students actually get demerits if found to own even a soundtrack to an R-Rated movie. Furthermore, female students aren't allowed to wear pants, just skirts. Not just skirts, but skirts that go down to the ankles. That's the way they roll. LinkedIn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
