Third Annual PH4H NCAA Tournament Pick'em

The PH4H Tournament league is back for the third straight year! Like last year, it utilizes a scoring system that uses a point multiplier based on seeding, to encourage picking upsets.*

And, in our inimitable fashion, the winners are the people with the highest and lowest scores (i.e., even if your picks stink, the only way you're not in the running is if you don't play).

So, if you played last year, all you need to do is log in with the same username and password, and you should automatically be back in the user group. If you didn't play last year, just go to the website (http://ph4h.mayhem.sportsline.com/e), and enter the password "reverse." Either way, once the brackets are released, all you need to do is make your picks before the tournament begins on March 20.

Good luck!



* Based on last year's poll results, I tweaked the scoring system a bit. The relative value for a correct pick in each round is now higher. The first round is worth 1 point, the second is two points, the third is four points, the fourth is eight points, the semi-finals are sixteen points, and the final game is thirty-two points. Of course, if you make a correct pick, those point values will be multiplied by the seeding of that pick.

Is this a freebie?

Yes it is. There's no way to encourage people to make off-the-wall picks when there's money on the line.
