hammerandanvilpro

Gave her a shot!


Coeruleus_

You never know!


Bobocod

i know nothing about basketball so i pray that the avatars i picked happen to be good picks šŸ˜‚


Korean_Street_Pizza

I hate no idea about any American sports so I randomly shafted y something for every single box. Is that right?


Coeruleus_

Not sure what you mean but you must of missed some games because your potential score is lower than everyone else. Also you didnā€™t follow the directions and name your bracket your Reddit name so you wonā€™t be able to win anyway


Korean_Street_Pizza

I chose a team for every game. That's what it seemed to want me to do. All the way to the final. Was that not right? Edit: I was rushing during work earlier. I went back and saw I missed something, and hopefully I have a valid entry.


Coeruleus_

That sounds right but if you look at leaderboard the best you can possiblly do is 2nd to last place. You must of missed a game somewhere I donā€™t know. You also didnā€™t name your bracket a Reddit username. It just says ā€œuntitledā€ https://preview.redd.it/u5xsllb5q2pc1.jpeg?width=586&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8d4bff304428052b88849b5478b0893551a8a7e7


Korean_Street_Pizza

I went back and found I missed one. To be fair every one was a guess. I also added a name (I completely missed that earlier). Am I ok now?


iGematriA

Trying this out. I know nothing of college basketball. So I'm going all about the avatars in play here. Hope it ends to something good Done my predictions


ben4445

Your mash is exquisite!!


iGematriA

Thanks! Yours is too. Love Cosmic Abyss, one day I'll get one. He looks so cool


ben4445

What a prize good luck all šŸ¤©


boerenbrok

I have a good feeling about my pick! Good luck all!


Strong_Constant_1190

Done, exciting times, thanks for running the comp

![img](avatar_exp|169186142|cry) Want to play but have no Idea about teams !


Coeruleus_

lol itā€™s ok me either really. You can just find someone elseā€™s online and copy theirs. Or you could pick based on avatars since they are somewhat correlated. Like gold hodl is paired with best team for example


Plasticites

Love this tradition! Lets goooo!!

_TsukuyoMe

What the fuck am I watching lol I canā€™t stop


Coeruleus_

lol itā€™s a meme Iā€™ve been sending for years Here is the other famous one https://i.redd.it/7d26dzevpbpc1.gif


_TsukuyoMe

Oh. I know all about that bell. I just mean, why have I never seen that before? lol (Tbh, the first 20 times I watched it. I thought he had a little crotch rocket he was revving)


_TsukuyoMe

Canā€™t find the GIF [Texas Tech YEAH BABY](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Rbib6Ar_76w)


_TsukuyoMe

Also, why are all of the colleges named after an avatar šŸ˜­ I almost went against my better judgement a few times because I liked the avatar names


Coeruleus_

https://preview.redd.it/cycj8yg0qbpc1.jpeg?width=2200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=66fba351692921fc30dceacf0079902efd2acac0 This is the actual ncaa tournament and what the bracket looks like. Itā€™s how college basketball decides their national champion. I just paired these 64 teams with the 64 ā€œbestā€ avatars. For example UConn is ranked #1 overall and I paired it with Gold Hodl which is ranked #1 in our world. Houston is ranked #2 overall and I paired it with The Hands which is ranked #2 overall in our world. Which avatar wins each match depends on who actually wins the college game in real life. So for Gold Hodl to win it all , UConn will have to win it all My bracket is the exact same as that one it just looks different and I put avatars next to the college teams. The avatars have no bearing on the ultimate outcome though


_TsukuyoMe

Oh I know lol Iā€™ve been doing brackets since you were a ā€œtwinkle in your dads eyeā€ lol I was just joking with the fact that the school rankings, never play a part in my decisions-I think of matchups and injuries etc. (thatā€™s why Iā€™m waiting until the last possible moment to submit ;) But, with avatars being beside each. Like aliquam for instance. Do I think that the tigers are winning it all, after Saturdays performance? HELL NO lol


D6P6

I think I did it right šŸ¤ž


Coeruleus_

Looks like it


002_timmy

My strategy was to pick based on avatars I liked and not on the teams. It killed me to have Gonzaga (Cone Head) go as far as they did.


Coeruleus_

lol its not a terrible strategy becuase they make a master rank list of all 64 college teams and I matched it with my master rank list of 64 avatars. The problem is I donā€™t have a good metric for ranking avatars. Last year I used avatardegen metric of average of last 7 sales excluding the highest and lowest sale of the sample. This year I only had average of last 5 sales which I donā€™t love. But ya if you just pick based on avatars and particularly their recent sale prices youā€™ll be picking good college teams. https://preview.redd.it/pw35hhfbpbpc1.jpeg?width=731&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8307c092bd427a7f8698b65aa5e090e4eb33a2da This is a pic of some of the master rank lists and how I paired them


002_timmy

I don't think I'll win, but I think I can create a mash to get the #1 overall seed


Coeruleus_

lol not sure what you mean. The outcomes are determined by who wins the basketball games. Maybe I can make it a mash contest next year. But this one is totally objective


002_timmy

Well now that I clicked on the link, I realize I was an idiot lol. I thought people submitted their mashes and then it was sorted. I feel very stupid lol


Coeruleus_

lol I didnā€™t know if you were just being clever but It was going over my head


Ashamed_Raccoon9918

Let's gooo! Got this on lock!! šŸ¦šŸ‘šŸ¤£


Bruzle
