AS WE HAVE NOTED IN THE MARCH MADNESS THREAD, WE ARE LESS THAN ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT THE SWITCH TO ESPN'S SITE FOR OUR ONCE PER YEAR INTEREST IN BASKETBALL. THE LOGOS ARE TOO SMALL! AND TOO BORING!

SO, WE HAVE CREATED OUR OWN POOL ON YAHOO! SPORTS: TMC [DANGER]!'S FLIP-OUT POOL! WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE ACRONYM, BUT WE BELIEVED "THE MIGHTY CLAN [DANGER]!'S FLIP-OUT POOL" MIGHT PROVE TO BE TOO LONG OF A NAME.

THIS POOL HAS ONLY ONE RULE. ASIDE FROM THE FIRST ROUND 1 VS 16 SEED GAMES, ALL OF YOUR PICKS MUST BE DECIDED BY THE FLIP OF A COIN. WE HAVE RUN TESTS AND HAVE DETERMINED THAT USING THIS METHOD OF PICKING SHOULD ONLY TAKE BETWEEN TEN MINUTES AND THREE HOURS TO COMPLETELY FILL OUT YOUR BRACKET. FOR THE FINAL SCORE PREDICTION OF THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME, PARTICIPANTS ARE ENCOURAGED - THOUGH NOT REQUIRED - TO ROLL FIVE 20-SIDED DICE TWICE.

HERE IS A LINK TO THE POOL. BE AWARE THAT THIS POOL IS PUBLIC AND AS SUCH MAY CONTAIN TRACE AMOUNTS OF BODILY FLUIDS.

YOU HAVE LESS THAN THREE DAYS LEFT TO FIND YOUR 20-SIDED DICE! ACT NOW!

HA!

SAM
ATHLETIC DIRECTOR,
THE MIGHTY CLAN [DANGER]!

I discarded the 20 for a coin ;)

fml if winthrop actually pulls it off

MINE CAME OUT WITH XAVIER WINNING IT ALL. ONLY A SLIGHTLY HIGHER SEED THAN WINTHROP.

BY THE WAY, I JUST REALIZED YOU CAN DO THE COIN FLIP THING WITHOUT EVEN OWNING A COIN. YOU CAN SET YOUR BRACKET TO FILL IN RANDOM WINNERS, AND YOU CAN DO THIS AFTER SETTING ALL OF THE #1 SEEDS TO WIN THEIR FIRST ROUND GAME.

I THINK IF YOU DO THE AUTOMATED RANDOM INSTEAD OF A COIN, YOU ARE CHEATING YOURSELF OUT OF COUNTLESS MINUTES OF VALUABLE ENTERTAINMENT, BUT I FOUND IT INTERESTING THAT MY FIRST TEST OF THE AUTOMATED RANDOM ALSO RESULTED IN A XAVIER CHAMPIONSHIP! WHAT ARE THE ODDS OF THAT?

I used the coin flipper on random.org :)

SAM!

ATTN RED-X AND WHOEVER IS MATT GANDER!

YOUR PICKS HAVE COME UNDER SCRUTINY DUE TO THE PRESENCE OF NOTHING BELOW A TWO SEED IN THE FINAL FOUR OF YOUR BRACKETS. IN ORDER TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE VALUABLE AND EXCITING PRIZES ASSOCIATED WITH THIS CONTEST, YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO UPLOAD A VIDEO OF YOUR COIN FLIPPING!

HA!

SAM

just found this thread. if you had made the thread title more obvious i would've joined this as well, i don't like espn's either.

does that mean you liked the coin choosing a 13 to win it all? ;)

I did not Gabe a coin, nor do I watch college basketball. I picked them at random. I use to like duke that's why I have them taking it all :p

the only true way to randomize picks https://www.random.org/coins/ ;)

WOW! XAVIER BEATS FSU. I GUESS PERHAPS THE MAGICAL 50 CENT PIECE KNOWS MORE THAN I THOUGHT!

Hehe
