    Did I read the rules correctly that the winner is randomly chosen? In other words, the winner may not be the best bracket?

    Yeah, it has some confusing wording, but I still believe the leaderboard determines the winner, and a random drawing of the leaders is done if there is a tie.

    From the rules:
    "SELECTION OF WINNERS: All eligible entries will be entered into a drawing. Prize entries will be drawn as the winners on or about APRIL 3, 2017. In an event of a tie, a random drawing from among the number one (1) ranked eligible entries on the “leaderboard” will be selected as the winner of grand prize. "

    I read it as the tied brackets will be entered into a drawing in order to determine the winner

    Leatherman-for-3 16 of 16. There are a couple of coin flips on day 2, though.

    And have we determined if we can view the leaderboard anywhere? What I gathered from the thread is we cannot.

    I'd be shocked if someone was 32-0 after today, so will be interesting to hear who is in the lead after all the games are complete.

    By the way, in the event of a tie, at least the 10C is only doing a random drawing out of the tied leaders (maybe next year they will add a final score tie-breaker option?), unlike ESPN who does a random drawing out of everyone in the top 10%, as that doesn't seem fair to those on top.

    Oh darn. ;) After OR wins, I'll be at 18-2 so only one behind you! =)

    And yes...I went 'chalk' with every first round game (besides my Spartans) for the first time ever. I sure picked a fine year to do it as this is becoming very un-March Madness like!

    The first round picks were easier this year, so I think someone will have a perfect bracket after today.

    20-4 so far, but I fear picking Nevada to go to the Sweet 16 might do me in. But I also picked Middle Tennessee and Rhode Island to make it that far, so if they come through I might just have a chance. Can't imagine too many others made those picks.

    Regardless of how we are all doing now, I feel like it's safe to say that whoever wins is going to have picked the correct tournament winner. Who do you all have?

    UCLA over Arizona for me...

    8-4 so far(i had a few upsets which didn't happen and of course the upsets that happened i didn't pick).

    Lost NC-Wilmington, Bucknell (my upsets), Maryland and Minnesota.

    i think i'm gonna go 11-5 in the first day, probably will lose Nevada (another upset i thought might happen).
    and 12-4 today. so i'm 23-9 so far. 2 sweet 16 teams out (SMU and Maryland). :neutral:
