Um, I'm new to this forum, so I've just kind of hung back and laughed at the hysterical ravings of you Frank. But now its getting really old.
You don't like it that Rob is an enthusiastic fan of graded cards, it drives you nuts that Rob is sarcastic, and now you find "offensive" the closing lines of his signature. Seriously, it makes me laugh to write this out. The fact is, I'm not sarcastic, I like both raw and graded cards, and I don't like closing lines either. Any closing lines, they all get old if you ask me. But I'm not getting "offended" about it and hijacking threads in some sort of stupid campaign to end them. I hope I don't get on your bad list, because I'm sure I'll end up saying something stupid, wrongheaded, uncool, or sarcastic at some point too.... The fact is, we all think things are annoying to us, but you got to live with it man! That is part of what makes a forum interesting, all sorts of people with ideas that we often totally disagree with. I mean you got to stand up and denounce racism or someone attacking someone else's religion or something seriously heinous, but this isn't remotely the case here. So please chill out! |

![]() Just messin' around.............On another note-I don't know crap about college basketball,but I'd love to win one of those cards.I picked up a Division 1 Men's Championship Tournament sheet from a casino,and it has the teams shown,with a breakdown chart of how the winner of the first round goes to the second round,winner of that game goes to the regionals,so on and so on. Dumb question-next to the team names are numbers-example: 1 Kansas 16 Lehigh 8 UNLV 9 Northern Iowa Can someone tell me what the #'s mean? I sure would appreciate it. Thanks,Clayton |

Clayton,
The numbers next to the school names are their "seeds" in the particular region in which they're competing. Kansas is the top seed in the Midwest so they're the "1" seed. Lehigh is the bottom seed in the Midwest Region, thus they're the "16" seed, and Kansas will likely use them to floss their teeth. Four Regions, so four #1 seeds, four #2 seeds, etc. p.s. Cal will likely go out like a mafia hit in the first round. And I will sob. |

On a mathematical note: all the pairs of seeds in the first round add up to 17 (1 vs 16, 5 vs. 12, 8 vs. 9, etc.)
If there are no upsets all the pairs in the second round will add up to 9 (1 vs 8, 4 vs. 5, etc.) If you see a pair in the second round with a total greater than 9, that means one of the lower seeds upset a higher seed in the first round. If pairs in the third round add up to 5, there were no upsets. If in the fourth round they add up to 3 (1 vs.2), there were no upsets. After the final four it's every man for himself. |

I seem to recall, I could be wrong, but last year the Final Four was made up of all four #1 seeds.

Yes Steve, either last year or the year before, all four final teams were #1's. That is the only time it has happened. Actually, even having three #1's in the final four is pretty rare.

Clayton,
The teams are seeded much like a tennis tournament. #1 indicates the highest seed (best) within that quarter-region. #16 indicates the worst. No #16 has ever beaten a #1 in tournament history (back in the 80's, they didnt have that many teams). If you went straight #1s (chalk), that would be your "most likely scenario", but it also doesnt happen very often, as upsets win out here and there. |

I am also one of those who had multiple entries, however I only signed in for one on Rob's tourny. My son and I filled out a couple of brackets last night, and those have been brought over to Rob's site. How can I undo this? Also, if I fill out more brackets on ESPN will they automatically show up in Rob's pool?
Thanks, Mike I am trying to delete my entries with no luck. Can someone offer help? Last edited by cliftons8; 03-16-2010 at 08:35 PM. Reason: Add more to post |

You can move your other entries to any other group very easy, just chick on the one you want to move and right under your avitar/name there is a bar that has Create Join. Just join something else. PM me if you need anything on this
