CAA Tourney bracket contest - Hart Foundation - 02-26-2018 09:35 PM
Back by popular demand is the CAA tourney bracket contest.
Rules - select the winner for every game and give a total point prediction for the championship game.
Edit #1 -You get one point for each correct pick so it is possible to not pick the champion, but still win the bracket. The first tiebreaker is did you select the champion. The second tiebreaker with be closest to total points.
Prize - the winner gets a 6 pack of their favorite brew (perhaps a 5 pack if I get thirsty before mailing them out). More importantly, the winner will have 365 days of bragging rights.
Edit #2 - it may be illegal to ship alcohol across state lines so if the winner doesn’t reside in Virginia I am proactively denying that I am doing anything illegal and your favorite brew selection will be non-alcoholic wink, wink.
I will wait until NostradamusDuke makes his picks and then I will copy them so I can split the winnings. NostradamusDuke submitted a perfect bracket last year by selecting all 9 games correctly.

The JMU pick in Game 1 is a total homer pick as the Dukes should open around a 1 to 1.5 point favorite BION and favorites in JMU games haven't been doing too well over the past 7 weeks.

This visual bracket may help some make their picks, especially if you like to choose by defaulting to your favorite colors or logo.

As promised, I am taking these same exact selections as NostradamusDuke. We are 100% guaranteed to split the 6pack prize. Perhaps even share it in Dayton at the first four game where JMU is sure to go with a CAA title and 14-21 record. We will be media darlings as the cute little engine that could and the 3 beers are sure to be delicious as we revel in the glory. How great of a story would that be? JMU would be the worst team to ever make the NCAA tournament with 21 losses. The record is held by Liberty and Coppin State who made it with 20 losses. I can drink to that
RE: CAA Tourney bracket contest - HyperDuke - 02-27-2018 08:36 PM
Hahaha, I thought that was someone else’s name lol. I had forgotten how I did that last year!
The 5-pack comment makes more sense now!
