MARCH MADNESS SWAMPCRASH - Bracket and First Round Questions
Well, we have 30 - one of the 30 is basically a sub but he registered an account to use last time. I'll probably just go with 30 and two 1 seeds will get byes.
Tried to seed yinz according to both skill and a general geographical regions - here's the bracket that I came up with:
Anyways you all know the deal, no cheating enforced by honor code and try to answer each question with unique correct answers. Points are determined by the uniqueness of the answer, ie if a question is "Name a Cleveland Cav" you and two other people answer "LeBron James", you each get 3 points. Low scores win. Incorrect answers are worth most popular correct answer plus 5, so don't be wrong obvs.
Send your answers to LAYONTHEICE at GMail and please put your Swampcrash handle somewhere in the subject or message body.
There is no theme to the questions, it's just whatever I feel like.
Questions as follows for round 1:
1. Ten schools have made it to a MEN'S Final Four seven times or more. Name one of them. (10)
2. Nine US Presidents took office before the age of 50. Name one. (9)
3. Since the US reinstated the death penalty in 1976, name a state that has executed 40 or more people. (11)
4. The Bears are unquestionably a shit-ass franchise, yet since 1945 they have managed to draft 14 Hall of Famers. Name one. (14)
5. BACK TO THE HARDWOOD. Name of of the top 12 all-time leading scorers in WNBA history. (12)
6. In 2015, a guy named Richard Florida - who is a for-real actual person - ranked world cities in his "Global Economic Power Index". Name a city in the top 10. (11 - there is a tie for 10th)
7. 12 players have scored more than 270 goals in the NHL during the 2010s. Name one. (12)
8. There have been 10 US-based installments of the Real Housewives. Name one of the cities/locations they have been based (I'm going to give some leeway here). (10)
9. (BLANK) LIVES MATTER. According to OSHA - at least according to the random law site I saw the list on - as of 2021, name one of the ten "most dangerous jobs" in the US. (10)
10. Name a Country that has hosted both a Summer and Winter Olympic Games. (9)
OT. Name a planet located in the Solar System. (8)

Re: MARCH MADNESS SWAMPCRASH - Bracket and First Round Questions
i was too intimidated by the idea of exactly the kind of (basketball/football) questions here but am in the front row of the studio cheering you all on. I'll help organize the welcoming party in Nunavut for the finals.
(and slightly regretful i didn't just go for it and enter as a play-in seed )

Swampcrash kicks my ass again. I can't seem to stay on the right side of that fine line of answers that sound like potential one pointers and wrong answers.
Until everything is less insane, I'm mixing weed with wine.

Re: MARCH MADNESS SWAMPCRASH - Bracket and First Round Questions
I realize my performance in Swamply Connect has been historically bad, but the SUBS get a higher seed than me?

Re: MARCH MADNESS SWAMPCRASH - Bracket and First Round Questions
Well given my username, EnochRoot is based on the Neal Stephenson character, I felt 4 too high because Enoch generally does his work in the shadows. Classic 12 or 13 seed.

Re: MARCH MADNESS SWAMPCRASH - Bracket and First Round Questions
You didn't initially but I edited the seeds a little bit to keep the regional theme going.

Re: MARCH MADNESS SWAMPCRASH - Bracket and First Round Questions
It is too high given you don't have any history - but you got in early and slipped through.
EDIT: In hindsight it was not too high of a seeding

Re: MARCH MADNESS SWAMPCRASH - Bracket and First Round Questions
Due to differing top 10 lists I'm allowing 12 correct answers for the most dangerous job. If that would change anybody's answers, feel free to update.

Re: MARCH MADNESS SWAMPCRASH - Bracket and First Round Questions
GPJ had to leave the room while you were discussed. Otherwise the committee would have ranked you even lower.

My strategy to pull off the 1st round shocker was either gonna be Full Maverick or Full Iceman. Needless to say, I'm a tremendous pussy.
