Pretty fun way to do pick ems. You get a team of ten wrestlers. You get to pick a #1 seed through #8 seed to join your team, then pick two wrestlers lower than the #8 seed. Your team will then score points for you in accordance with the actual tournament scoring. I can keep track of it and will be able to post the team scores at the end of each round. Just post your team and I will consider you entered. Brackets can be found at http://www.themat.com/events/Brackets2012WR.pdf the prize will be bragging rights!

Hope so! Find out in about a week. :thumbup:


YO JUSTIN! Any way to get the NCAA wrestling tourny set up in vBookie? Individual threads by weight class would be awesome but a lot of work.
Or less work involved- Two vBookie threads 125-157 and 165-Hvy. All the top three seeds (30 people total. 15 each thread) - we get to pick one each thread.
Odds would be seed #'s, meaning win more vCash if you pick a #3 seed to win the NCAA's.

Just wanted to point out Spangler withdrew from the tournament, but you could go with Lee Munster as the #8 seed instead.

nice catch

FYI...the D3 chamionship is on live right now on NCAA.com

Much better covereage than last year because each mat has a camera on it.
