If you win and cannot make it to Aquarium Shine, I'm sure the guys can send you some drygoods/additives. The winner will also get the coveted CR basketball trophy added to their CR Trophy Case!

Brackets will be available to complete starting Sunday evening (March 16, 2014). You will need to fill out your bracket before the first round of the tournament on Thursday 3/20/2013. You must get your bracket filled out by then. In the meantime, I would suggest replying to this thread and get registered on the CBS site so any bugs can be worked out as soon as possible.

Scoring goes like this, for each game picked correctly:

First Round - 1 point
Second Round - 2 points
Third Round - 4 points
Fourth Round - 8 points
Semi Finals - 16 points
Finals - 32 points

Thanks to Arizona my bracket is officially busted. That the risk you take when you don't have MI or State going the the final 4 like 80% of the other brackets. Bunch of homers.

Good luck Tom and Mike if I am right it looks like if Wisconsin wins tonight tom wins if Kentucky wins it's mike

[jimsflies]

Not to be anti-climatic before the final game, but it appears we have a winner as no one picked U-Conn or Kentucky to make it to the final game.

Here are the final standings. Congrats @woods4542000 (http://www.captivereefs.com/forum/members/woods4542000/)!

[woods4542000]
