2017 March Squareness

Welcome to March Squareness 2017!! We are just waiting for a few people to fill in their squares and then I can randomly assign numbers to the squares. Here is a recap of the rules:

Everyone will get 5 squares.

The final score of each and every game will be tallied, the person with the most points after the national championship game will win. Points per game per round are as follows:

Play-in games - .5 points/game – 2 points total available
Round 1 – 2 points/game – 64 points total available
Round 2 – 4 points/game - 64 points total available
Round 3 – 8 points/game (Sweet Sixteen) - 64 points total available
Round 4 – 16 points/game (Elite 8) - 64 points total available
Round 5 – 32 points/game (Final Four) - 64 points total available
Round 6 – 64 points (Championship)

The breakdown on boxes will be:
Winner – 8 boxes
2nd place – 5 boxes
3rd place – 2 boxes
4th place – 1 boxes

Tie-breakers will be the person with the most points in Round 1 (not Play-in), followed by Round 2, etc.

Winners will draft senders in the following format:
Round 1 – 1 1 1 2 2 3
Round 2 – 1 1 1 2 2 3 4
Round 3 – 1 1 2

The top 4 finishers will not ship. Boxes are expected to be at least 64 oz of good local beer. Please pay attention to aged IPAs! Shipping window will be from when the final buzzer sounds at National Championship game to mid-May.

I can provide evidence of the random selection if you need me to.

 

Alright, here is the link to the tracking sheet with the leaderboard on the second tab. Let me know if you see anything wrong.

Well, last year the person that had the first game ended up winning, so prepare your porch @KyleDavis

 

Going into today's action, we have a 4-way tie at the top (probably not the first time these guys have been in a 4-way with each other):
@KyleDavis - 0.5 points
@sj3324 - 0.5 points
@UcDru - 0.5 points
@whyteboy003 - 0.5 points

 

I think we had two people last year that didn't get any points.
