You should just go buy yourself a lottery ticket and forget the tournament. Nobody wants to play with dullards who just guess.

micro,

I have participated in NCAA basketball tourney pools for decades, now. The best winning method I ever witnessed was back in the mid to late 80s. This barely-out-of-school, female staffer wanted to enter but admittedly didn't know the first thing about basketball or how to go about picking teams that might stand a chance of winning. So, she asked the guys the colors of the teams and proceeded to pick the winners based on her favorite colors. She submitted her $10 entry fee, and out of several hundred entries, she won first place. That just goes to prove that picking the tourney winners is a TOTAL CRAPSHOOT ... but it is fun to do, nonetheless!

B.
