I Won, I Won!!!!!

Tonight was the final game of the NCAA Basketball Tournament.

North Carolina Tar Heels vs Michigan State Spartans

For those who are unfamiliar with the associated brackets, here is a rundown on how the competition works.

The tournament consists of 64 teams divided into four regions with 16 teams in each reagion. Each team receives a seed based on their performance in the regular season with a 1 being the best and a 16 being the worst. In the first round, teams are paired off as follows: a 1 seed plays a 16 seed, a 2 seed plays a 15 seed, etc. This is designed to protect the lower seeds. The tournement is single elimination so if a team loses they are out. By corectly picking the victor of a first round game you receive 1 point. With 32 games in the first round there are 32 possible points. Second round match-ups are worth 2 points. With sixteen games in the second round, there are once again 32 possible points. This pattern continues so that each round has 32 points possible. Out of 192 possible points, I won with 135 points. Accurately pickng North Carolina to win the whole thing was what seperted me from the rest. I beat Jared & my Dad who watch Sports Center all the time & now I get to go to the restraurant of my choice. Does anyone have any good suggestions?
