It's Selection Sunday!

Last day of the pool, and then on to the real tournament.

   

Here are the current standings through Saturday's games.

• 10 people are fighting for the top 4 spots going into the 5 conference championship games today
• The combinations are endless for the order, so I am not even going to try and outline all of the scenarios
• If you have been mathematically eliminated from the top 4 spots your name has been grayed out

Remember we do have Bonus Pots for different categories, including the final score of the B1G championship game today, so everyone can still win money today.

Additionally with the Bonus Pots, they are designed for multiple people to win, the idea is that at the end of this pool everyone has the opportunity to win a little bit of money.

Today's Championship Games (3/13)

Atlantic 10  - 11:30 am CST

• (4) Saint Joseph's vs. (2) VCU
• The 1st championship of the day is such a key game for our pool, so it's a great way to start out
• Bonus point are at stake here!
• For the players that are still in the running for the top 4 spots, 3 have St. Joseph's and for have VCU
• This is also where, no matter what the outcome is, the players that picked Dayton or St. Bonaventure will get passed

SEC - 12:00 pm CST

• (2) Kentucky vs. (1) Texas A&M
• Only 1 person in our pool that is in the running selected Texas A&M, everyone else is rolling with Kentucky
• No bonus points are at stake
• Again, no matter what the outcome is, the players that picked Vanderbilt will end up get passed in the standings

Sun Belt - 12:00 pm CST

• (2) Louisiana Monroe vs. (1) Arkansas-Little Rock
• Many people selected the 1 seed Arkansas-Little Rock, no one went with Louisiana Monroe
• Unlike the first 2 conferences, we can have an outcome in this game where nobody is awarded points
• No bonus points are at stake

 B1G - 2:00 pm CST

• (4) Purdue vs. (2) Michigan State
• Many people selected the 2 seed Michigan State, no one went with Purdue, so again, unlike the first 2 conferences, we can have an outcome in this game where nobody is awarded points

American  - 2:15 pm CST

• (6) Memphis vs. (5) UConn
• The very last conference championship game, and this could decide the pool
• Bonus point are at stake here!
• Many people selected the 5 seed UConn, no one went with Memphis
• LOT'S of people that are towards the top of the standings can get passed by with this game
• The other very interesting thing with this game is that UConn is a 5 seed, this would be the lowest winning seed if they win, so everyone that is currently getting money with their 4 seed, this will knock them out of the money.

27 of the 32 automatic qualifier tickets have been punched, the last 5 will be punched by later this afternoon.

As games complete, I'll post updated standings (No Blog), so save the link.  After all the games are complete I will need some time to check the standings for accuracy, and then later tonight will update Blog the final standings.
