@Scipioand I are pleased to sponsor this website as the official mortgage provider of Surly (thanks to our fearless leader @immamac) who said if we did this he wanted it to be fun for the community in some way. Last year we gave away free Astros playoff tickets to every game, this year, the first year during the tournament we said we have to do something for the community around the tournament…. So here it is:

Instead of brackets- which everyone does all over the time we are going to do the seeded tournament giveaway. 
how it works:

everyone picks 8 teams- any 8 teams that you want. The points for your team are determined by multiplying the seed of your team by every round they win. So, if you pick a 1 seed and they win it all you get 21 points. 1 point for the first, 2 for the 2nd, 3 for the 3rd, through the 6th round where you’d get 6. Add them all up and you get 21 points. 

If a 10 seed makes it to the sweet 16 you’d get 30 points- 10 for round 1, 20 for round 2. 


Pick your 8 teams. Tie breaker is pick 1 team as your tie breaker team- whoever’s tie breaker team scores the most points wins. 
 

prize giveaway will depend on the size. If we can get 100 people in I will giveaway a minimum of $1000.  
 

as always, free to enter, we are doing it for the community. If you have any mortgage needs we would love to help- every time we help a surly person out it goes back to supporting and growing the community.  If you have any mortgage questions please feel free to PM me or call me at 832-557-1095.

awesome!  i wasn't going to be able to participate in your traditional format as i am traveling for spring break and wouldn't be able to participate in the draft on monday but i can definitely pick 8 teams at some point during the week.  assuming we just need to have our teams in by wednesday night/thursday morning?

Yep. Anytime Thursday before 11:00 central. You don’t pick the winner of the 12’s or 16’s. It’s just a double entry so you can pick that before Tuesday/Wednesday games.

This is great and I'm looking forward to finishing in first place as long as nobody copies my super strategy of picking Abilene Christian University. I haven't followed college basketball this year so I am just assuming they continue to be a rising college powerhouse team.

I stress again, it’s free to enter and if we hit 100 entries we will give away at least $1000. Let’s blow this up.

Thanks.  I read this thread 10 times last night, but didn't want to look stupid by asking this question.

I mean- I know you are a Tennessee homer so only really looking at 7 picks for you.

It took me damn near a year to get Derka on board with the fact that I am not a Vol fan.  My wife is a grad.  That being said, I will not be picking the Vols in this contest.  :)

Post your 8 teams and their seeds next to it. No cost to entry. Free money. @Scipioand I are doing this as sponsors of this website for fun. 
Again- the rules as follows:

you get your seed # multiplied by the round you win. Points are cumulative. So- if you pick Gonzaga and they win it all that’s 21 points. If you pick Texas and they make it to the sweet 16 that’s 18 points (6 for winning in the first round plus 13 for winning in the second round) 

My entry:

chattanooga- 13 seed

michigan- 11

loyola Chicago- 10

iowa state- 11

Vermont- 13

USC- 7

Murray State- 7

richmond- 12. 
 

My team with the most points- Chattanooga. 
 

Let’s get 100 entries so we can give away $1000. Free. No obligation. If you need help with a mortgage we’d love the chance to give it a shot if you reach out to us via PM or call at 832-557-1095. 

Thank you for doing this!

Do you want to make this into a spreadsheet with automated scores and leaderboards?  It would be pretty easy to do if people are willing to use a Google form for entries. I can probably help set it up if you like. 

Anyways, I don't know much about NCAA basketball, so I'll just go with:
