Weather Forums March Madness 2024

[Anti Marine Layer]

Welcome to March Madness 2024, Weather Forums version. I have found 106 recent posters and they are ranked according to a formula, shown below.

0.5 * (Member's Posts/Most Posts) + 0.5 * (Member's Reputation/Highest Reputation)

The top 68 members were picked. The results of this contest are based on the actual results of the NCAA Tournament. Colleges are ranked according to the BPI Tournament Rankings on ESPN.com. The ranked members have been matched up with the ranked colleges. If your college (in the table below) advances in the NCAA Tournament, you also advance. Can you make it to the Sweet 16 or the Elite 8 or the Final 4? Only one member wins, which will be determined by April 8.

You can see the rankings and the brackets below. Brackets will be updated as the NCAA Tournament takes place.

EDIT: I originally had incorrect numbers for T-Town. This has changed his ranking to 40 and the members previously ranked 40-47 are now ranked 41-48.

I guess I'm rooting for the seahawks basketball team now, and a seahawks football team. Having a 16 seed winning is going to ruin my bracket, assuming they even win the game tommorow

being the resident troll really does pay off.

Also...why doesn't @Deweydog get top seed in the brackets?

It's weird but that's how the BPI rankings work

 

[Iceresistance]

I wonder how I would do with SD State, likely not very well at all

[Hoosier]

First Four starts today with the West 16 seeds at 3:40 PM and the Midwest 10 seeds at 6:10 PM.

[Andie]

I’m doomed

[Sunriver Snow Zone]

WAGNER SEAHAWKS ARE UP 23 TO 12!!! I might actually make it to a 2nd game!!

[Sunriver Snow Zone]

LETS GOOO!! It was a nail-biter, but my team won! Now I need my 16 seed team to beat a 1 seed, going to need a miracle for that to happen 

[Anti Marine Layer]

First result is in. Bracket images have been updated.

[Sunriver Snow Zone]

CO State has won! I'm 2/2 so far, now I just need Montana state and Boise state to win tommorow, in order to be 4/4 with the first four.

[Anti Marine Layer]

@Sunriver Snow Zone and @Snownerd3000 are today's winners. The First Four continues tomorrow.

[Iceresistance]

There is no way I would be able to win against @MossMan

It's your game now to face off with @snow_wizard if you win.

[Anti Marine Layer]

The First Four has been finalized with @SnarkyGoblin and @Requiem making the Round of 64. The real action begins tomorrow.

Nope, you play @Iceresistance today at 4:35 PM.

[Anti Marine Layer]

@Cascadia_Wx is first to advance to the Round of 32, but who is @CascadiaWx?

[Sunriver Snow Zone]

Down 12 at the half, I'm f×*ked

What's great is I picked UCONN in my real bracket. I also know my first round opponent personally, so that should add a bit of motivation to this grudge match.

[Sunriver Snow Zone]

Pretty good day for my bracket, got 13 of 16 games right! It's a bummer the Wagner seahawks lost,  not really sure why I put them in my bracket in the first place, needed a real miracle for them to win.

[Black Hole]

Glad I won the first round without even knowing I was playing

[Andie]

Well played!!  
 

I'm out. Jaster trampled me.

Too bad you couldn't get @SnarkyGoblin but he's up against @snow_wizard today.

[Iceresistance]

@Tyler Mode just took out @Phil

 

[Anti Marine Layer]

We're down to 32 with @Tyler Mode over @Phil being the biggest upset today.

[Anti Marine Layer]

@Deweydog is first to make the Sweet Sixteen.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Close game between @hawkstwelve and @Timmy for today's final Sweet 16 spot.
