Edited for clarity.

This thread will be used to make your predictions for the NCAA Regional Tournament. The tournament begins Friday, June 2nd and ends Monday, June 5th. Location will be announced May 29th at 12:00 pm. The rules are listed below.

If you need help understanding the bracket format, here's a helpful link: Regional Bracket Or you can just use Google to figure it out.

1. Each player will pick the number of wins they believe Tennessee will have in the NCAA Regional Tournament before 11:59 pm on June 1st, 2023. Any submissions made after that time will not be accepted.

2. Each player will bid at least 1 point of their already accumulated points. Ex: If you believe Tennessee will win 3 games in the NCAA Regional Tournament, comment "3" and the number of points you would like to bid.

3. No player may more bid points than they have at the beginning of the NCAA Regional Tournament.

4. If a player loses all of their points, they are eliminated from future post season rounds.

5. Scoring:
Exact: Player gets the number of points they bid added to their total
Off by 1 win: Player keeps 67% of their bid points. Or loses 33%. Whichever terminology you prefer.
Off by 2 wins: Player keeps 33% of their bid points. Or loses 67%. Whichever terminology you prefer.
Off by 3 wins: Player keeps 0% of their bid points. Or loses 100%. Whichever terminology you prefer.
Off by 4 or more wins: Player keeps 0% of their bid points/loses 110% of their bid points.


6. Any player that does not submit a pick and a bid, will be assessed a penalty of 50% of the total points they held at the beginning of the NCAA Regional Tournament.

7. If anything weird happens throughout the remainder of the postseason, (cancelled games, schedule shift, etc.) I will be sole arbiter of how to fairly proceed. The appeal process is as follows:

A. STFU
B. You're were probably going to lose anyways

NOTE: If you have any suggestions on how to improve the scoring for this round, or future rounds, please submit those suggestions in writing in the comment section below and tag me in the comment. The suggestion window will close at 12:00pm on May 26th, 2023. Suggestions for me to go f*** myself or otherwise commit an act that is immoral, unethical, or illegal will not be accepted.

Do the points we have left after the NCAAs transfer to next season? Asking for Behr.

Disregard my other post. Didn't see this thread.

Now my input:

Instead of making it all downside risk, can we receive a portion of the points we bid if within 1, 2, 3, etc? Off by 3 would be no points awarded and a 10% penalty.

This will be strongly considered. Are there any opposing voices to this suggestion?

I've been sitting in the sun and eating candy all day. Not much of an excuse, but it's all I got 🤣
