I played Pick 5 for this year's NCAA tournament. I think it's something I'll do into the future, too.
2015–16 NCAA Tournament
2) UConn (21-9, ACC) 9
4) Air Force (24-9, B12) 10
6) Baylor (21-10, B12) 28
2) Michigan (28-5, B10) 9
3) Hawaii (30-7, MWC) 12
I honestly did a lot of picking based on who I knew were on these teams, but more by their coaches. The tournament is especially topsy turvey, but I'm curious to see how accurate (or not) I can be this year. According to the actual rules, you get a point for each round a team advances and then also the equal # of points to match their seed for each round they advance.
Here's how I did:
Quote:
UConn (Lost in Sweet 16)
Baylor (Lost in Elite 8)
(I mistakenly chose both of these programs when they were supposed to meet in the Sweet 16, so they knocked one of the other out.)
Michigan (Lost in Sweet 16)
Air Force (Lost in Second Round)
Hawaii (Lost in Sweet 16)

So I scored 68 points this year.
St. John’s beat UMass for the National Championship.
