    For those of you who want a quick and easy March Madness game (with no prizes), here's a game:

    Pick ten first round winners

    For each correct pick, you get points based on their seed. For example, if you pick Duke, you get 1 point. If you pick Liberty, you get 16 points.

    Pick five second round winners. Rules are same as the above, except you get double points and your five second rounders must come from your set of 10 first rounders.

    Whoever has the most total points at the end of the weekend wins. (Its quick & easy because you can score yourself and don't have to fill out a whole bracket.)

    Post your picks if you want to play. I'll post mine a little later today when I have some time to look at the bracket.
