    I know it is too late to say this, but at least for next year the first tie-breaker should be the round you went out, then points and so no. If you use up all of you teams on the left side and have no one else to play, too bad. If I planned my route to the end and left teams available of later use, that should count for something.

    Just reaching a round with a team available to pick does not mean you survived that round, and it does count for something as it gives you the ability to win, where the other person can literally only tie. I'll be clearer earlier on about it next year, but wanted to get it there before we truly ran into that situation.

    In the end, yes you didn't survive the round, but you were better than the other guy as you had a chance. Next year that should count as finishing ahead of the other guy. I'm not sure it will come to that though. Curious how the website will score it. Remember for next year I guess.
    Always good to declare any options now.

    Game on!

    Or forget your picks to give the rest a better chance. It is getting tough now...
    Should see people falling out the next few days, especially tonight!
    Best tournament in years.

    I literally changed my pick to virginia at 6:07, then tried to go back to gonzaga at 6:09. It didn't take!
    I became a huge Syracuse fan after that!

    Info sent.

    This year's tourney is great, this made it much better. Can't wait to do a survivor pool again next year. Thanks for setting this up.
    Good luck to the remaining 3. May take a bold move to get past @mnbearsfan . He may go almost start to finish with the lead after the Syracuse pick.

    So 4 gets 1 box since we both tied for 4th do we wash and not get or send anything?

    It has been a fun tourney. First time doing this for something other than NFL and figured out a strategy too late to get any further than tonight.

    Plus I was banking on Villanova choking like they do every year...

    Holzwama got 4th based on the tie breaker. More points based on who he picked.

    Had to click on the team.
    You picked Carolina, others on Virginia.
    All advance is my bet.
    Then Sweeney only has ND if they advance, so he will be done. Basically he has 3rd unless UNC loses, then 2nd place for him.
    More than likely it will be woody taking Virginia and bears fan nova or unc for the title Saturday. Beers fan will be the only one with 2 teams to choose from.

    Would be fun to see the title come down to 1 game. Plus I'm a UNC fan, so bears fan winning on that would be great. Even better if I can share ALL my winnings with him Saturday. Then he shares all his winnings later too. :wink:

    May have to connect with him. @mnbearsfan
