Don Wahle's NCAA Contest with Award

[Lancermania]

I just talked to Don Wahle. He wants to do an NCAA contest similar to the one with the high schools. There will be an award to the winner. Here are how the winner will be chosen.

1. You pick the top five men and womens' teams and the top five men and women individuals for a total of 20. These can be in any order. Whoever has the most picks out of twenty in any order wins.

2. The first tie breaker is to see who picked the most in their correct order both team and individuals.

3. The second tie breaker is the total number of points for the top five men and womens team places combined.

Count me in, I won't have my picks in for a few days though.

ok. I saw where the official final 13 at large bids won't be announced until this afternoon by the NCAA even though Flo track already shows who they say will be the at large bids.
