March Madness Starting Ten (2014)
PAST RESULTS:
2012 (Starting Eight) 2013 Here's the premise: 1. You pick a roster of any 10 players from the NCAA tournament field. 2. You score as many points as each of your drafted players scores in the NCAA tournament. 3. You get a multiplier for the seed of his team. (i.e. if Nate Wolters of 14th seeded South Dakota State scores 18 points, you would earn 252 points.) 4. "First Four"/play-in round games do not count towards the players point total. 5. Deadline is tip-off of the first games on Thursday. 6. There's a multiplier to each round the player scores points in. Quote:
There is no draft, you just pick a roster of 10 players that you want. Make any changes you want up through the deadline, any edits after that will not be counted. Have at it. Last edited by Young Drachma : 03-16-2014 at 05:34 PM. |

I will definitely be in, but want to give it a couple of days for injury updates and such.

Russ Smith, Louisville Cameron Bairstow, New Mexico Gary Harris, Michigan State Joseph Young, Oregon Jabari Parker, Duke TJ Warren, North Carolina State Jeremy Ingram, North Carolina Central Lamar Patterson, Pittsburgh Jordan McRae, Tennessee Initial thoughts: I have an inkling that this is too conservative a set. Then again, I don't have anybody from a 1- or 2-seed. Edited out, for posterity's sake: Jordan Adams, UCLA Marcus Paige, North Carolina Contingency: If Tennessee loses in tonight's play-in, I'll probably substitute McRae with either Jahii Carson or Roy Devyn Marble. If Tennessee wins, I'll consider swapping out Gary Harris, instead. Last edited by britrock88 : 03-19-2014 at 04:28 PM. |

1. Doug McDermott, Creighton (3)
2. Russ Smith, Louisville (4) 3. Jabari Parker, Duke (3) 4. Jordan McRae, Tennessee (11) 5. Cameron Bairstow, New Mexico (7) 6. Gary Harris, Michigan State (4) 7. Joseph Young, Oregon (7) 8. Langston Galloway, St. Joseph's (10) 9. T.J. Warren, North Carolina State (12) 10. Sean Kilpatrick, Cincinnati (5) I was incredibly torn between Kilpatrick, Harris and Marcus Smart. I wanted to pick only one of Kilpatrick and Harris...but I just can't see OK State getting past Arizona in the second round. |

Too many swings and misses early. It's brutal that NC State and St. Joe's were so close to moving on.

Delaware play was stupid, but I've still got some solid multiplier guys moving through this round.

Here are the players who accounted for the most points after the first round. Players in bold are still active for the next round. % is the percentage of people in the game who selected that player.

Correction: Devin Oliver of Dayton not in bold, but should be.
My scoring following similarly to last year, but a little worse. I think I was ahead until late last year also, probably will be giving up the lead earlier than I hoped this year thanks to the tight losses by Providence, St. Joe's, and NC State. I also thought for sure Oklahoma State would beat Gonzaga. Alas.

Thanks to beckerinski (who is a real life friend of mine who I roped into the game..) we have a spreadsheet that actually shows who has who, so you can see if there are repeaters as we get further down into the tournament.
Here's the link (since we can't embed) Quote:

I may be near the top, but all my lower seed players got bounced so I expect a free fall the next two days.

McDermott had 30.. so shouldn't he account for 90 points? not 45..

Mistake, I've fixed it. Good catch. I sometimes like to do in-game scoring and that was a mistake when I don't go back to fix.

Should've picked Napier. I had UConn in the sweet sixteen.

Looks like Chief's "Chalk or die" lineup is working on really well for him.

Strategically speaking, I feel like anyone on a 1 or a 2 seed is a wasted pick in a game like this. Let's assume that your potential 2 seed team makes the championship game. He gets the exact same multiplier as a 12 seed does in his one game, or a 3 seed in two games. The sweet spot for seed multiplier plus round advancement seems to be in the 4-7 range.
Edit: I also feel like a guy like McDermott you simply can't leave off your team, even though he wasn't worth all that much this go around. You're just completely screwed if he goes off and you don't have him. Last edited by Vince, Pt. II : 03-24-2014 at 02:00 PM. |

When trying to win a large field competition, contrarian often times gives you the best odds of winning.
