    Haven't seen a thread yet but wanted to get one going. The tourney kicks off Thursday at 6:00 pm (ET) so get your picks in before then.

    With [not] Akron winning last year [and Maryland being the real champion], it was the first time we didn't see JoeSoccerFan or boxcar123 winning it since 2012. TBD if the masses can keep the overlords at bay once again.

    Bracket here: https://www.ncaa.com/brackets/print/soccer-men/d1/2019

    Remember to post each game-winner in their own separate line, with a gap between rounds, please : )

    Round 1: 1 point
    Round 2: 2 points
    Round 3: 4 points
    Quarterfinals: 8 points
    Semifinals: 12 points
    Final: 24 points

    Lastly, I dug up the all-time winners:

    2003: #1 Fatman; #2 Red Storm; #3 Thisisstupid
    2004: #1 BigRedFootie; #2 Numerista; #3 soccertom
    2005: ??? gsterp? soccertom, utah444 (see this link).
    2006: #1 FootyMondo; #2 I love the game; #3 Muc80 & soccertom
    2007: #1 Carolina; #2 trader1; #3 recsoc
    2008: #1 manutd02; #2 utah444; #3 Sandon Mibut & garbaggio & Bonji
    2009: #1 FlashMan; #2 padgman1; #3 N0vaaaaa

    Do we have to be consistent? If, for example, one picks A to beat B in the first round, may one hedge one's bets by picking B to win in the second round?
