Announcing the ATVS Interactive NCAA Tournament Game

It's that time of year again.  It's time for the NCAA Basketball Tournament, which means it's time for.. Brackets! Brackets! Brackets!

We at ATVS find brackets boring, not to mention they offend our explicit disapproval of predicting the outcomes of sporting contests.  Instead, we play a separate kind of game, and anyone may join.

It's a simple game that anyone can play.  It is a game where each player picks 16 players, one from each seed level.  You pick one player from a 16-seed, one player from a 15-seed, one player from a 14-seed, and so forth.  Make sure you pick your team and report it to me before the first game begins.  You may wait until after the "play-in" game, which does not count in the points.  

To determine the winner, all you do is count the points.  At the end of the tournament, he with the most points wins.

We did this last year when we were at GeauxTuscaloosa, and here is the initial post, which gives some examples of how it is done.  Here are the results from Round One, then Round Two, then Round Three, and then the Final Results.  I skipped a few steps, but I just wanted to show you how it's done.

You can submit a team either by commenting here (it will be left up as a FanPost) or by emailing me at a*n*d*t*h*e*v*a*l*l*e*y*s*h*o*o*k at-sign gmail dot com, removing the asterisks and doing other things you should be able to figure out yourself if you have any computer skill whatsoever.

Obviously, you can't put together a team until the brackets are announced, but be thinking about it.
