    All seeds correctly. I'm not sure the system has a secondary tiebreaker. I'll do a random number generator if necessary.

    How about if it does come down to needing a secondary tie-breaker, we pick the total points scored in the National Championship to break the tie ? Seems better than random number

    Sorry, I was referring to the 2nd tie breaker.
    1. Overall seed total.
    2. Highest overall individual seed

    So, 2 tied at 18, but the Wichita State 10 seed is the 2nd tie breaker...

    I don't think there is a 2nd tiebreaker, and it wouldn't be fair to establish the 2nd tiebreaker based on picks that have already happened. If a 2nd tiebreaker is needed, then I am fine with total points in the national championship game if I'm one of the people tied. There's still a long way to go, but I would also be fine working out a split of the boxes if I'm involved in a scenario where a secondary tiebreaker would be needed.

    I agree, that was not established.

    I'd also be up for a split should it come down to it in deciding between 1/2 or 2/3, however if two are tied for 3rd you can't because 4th would be a shipper.

    I"m fine splitting. It does only mention the primary tie breaker. I was just assuming what secondary would be.

    Let's worry about it when it happens... should be some good games this weekend.

    Good luck to all, Go Heels!

    Tiebreaker rules:
    1) Sum of seeds

    2) Split total boxes for two places (if two folks were tied after the first place person they would each get 3 boxes..(4+2)/2=3). If 3 folks are tied (4+2)/3

    3) NC game Total - applies to a tie where the total boxes for the places cannot be evenly divided.

    Cool glad we got it cleared up even though unlikely. Looking forward to some great games and hopefully some upsets - just not against my picks! ;-)

    Cheers!

    That was unexpected. I was going to be hurting for teams if we went any further.

    Congrats to @jpatag66, @maxcoinage and @tripler7 for placing. Max and Tripler tied for 2nd so they will split the 6 boxes for 2nd and 3rd, 3 each. I'll send BMs to everyone with shipping info momentarily. Thanks for playing!

    How about the Final 4 and National Championship - certainly some entertaining games.
    Too bad Xaiver had to upset Zona ( esp cuz I had Zona winning in 2 different pools) - because that was a bit of an anticlimactic ending to this pool, although I can't complain, but would've been fun to see it make it a bit farther.

    First box has landed from @knicks19947 - thanks a lot man!
    All of these are wants that I've never had!
