My Duke bracket has already scored more points than my bracket from last year for the entire tournament.

TOTP again.

You lose five points for every TOTP claimed in this thread

And down goes Duke.

South Carolina is in the sweet 16 for the first time ever.

Anyone want to do ESPN's Second Chance competition?

you set it up , i'll join ... i'ma sucker for losing

I'm pretty sure my brackets are going to make their way to the top any time now.

I'd join second chance, too, though.

so far, i'd say there are 6 of our 15 entries that have no shot of winning our competition... gherkin, both of your entries are alive by virtue of picking the two blue bloods of basketball that no one else picked to win

current standings after 2 full rounds...only 4 more games to be played by the national champeen

You forgot to deduct the TOTP points from Speed Racer's totals

Inconceivable.

sorry... you are correct sir!!! i'll get right on it...actually doesn't really matter...since both of his national champ picks went down before the sweet 16 so he's toast....

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.... toast

Whaddaya know .... our second chance group is already there from when I created it a year or two ago ... and demontfortdevotee already found it!

Here's the link: http://games.espn.com/second-chance-bra ... oupID=4738

The password is the usual one ...

so are the rules everyone can enter twice... or do you get the same number of entries you have in the original bracket

The group settings are that you can have as many entries as you want, but let's do the honor system and say two entries per person.

i just got the espn notification about the 2nd chance bracket in my e-mail

I believe I've now made my two entries for the second chance group, and I am pretty confident that once again I will win with both of them.

To help with that, I made entirely opposite picks in the first round of each group.

i must admit, one of my 2nd chance brackets is quite unlike the other
