At least one OT game!

Good game Nonlinear. I need to recenter myself.

Seton Hall vs. Towson goes into OT!

Darn it.

Good game Mr. Bond.

Upsets all over the board, and we have one going to OT.

Rass knocks out 2 seed Sybian. 3 seed Chedda and 2 seed Goodkarma also go down in the Swampass Region. Sancarlos, AB and Ryan survive huge opening round scares. Let's get to some OT action.

Wait. I thought Syb was up 2 then lost two points to rass....but I misread

Shit, you're right - trying to make my brain remember that low scores are good. I even highlighted the shit

DOUBLE FUCKING OT!!!


(Read this in your head as your favorite March Madness announcer. I'm going with Kevin Harlan.)

FUCKKKKK

I'm asking the Dougs for a planet

I am disappointed in you all for not answering Uranus.

Good shit!

It’s hilarious that the most obvious answer, Uranus, became the most rare.

They answered Pluto, hilarious.

Going to need to come up with a 2OT tiebreaker.

That is wild. We should start calling such things the Enoch answer.

Fucking Fab 5. I always forget they had to give those back. It's 8 if you are able to count the Cheating Years.

We should have known doug would end up in a scrum.

Sent a tiebreaker question to LJam and BFJ thru email. This one is breaking Neilsen records!

Do you want all of them?

Sometimes (this match) playing it safe works in this game. And then others it doesn't, part of the beauty of SC.

Thanks GPJ and good game syb.

Yep

Screw it...combine them into one super BFJam for the next round.

This deserves recognition. Well played, sir, well played.

This was an all time "Potential 1-pointers I thought of and decided against because I was worried they might be wrong or too popular" round for me.

Caught a break by HDO not getting his answers in (is he OK?)

Thanks GPJ for running this.

I think HDO is fine, he thought it was a bracket challenge as DiS did.

Purposely didn't answer Uranus b/c I thought that would be everyone's go to.

Motherfucking third place and I lost! Best showing I've ever had in one of these games, but I came up against a better man. Finally taking the lead on Q9, and Q10 was the one answer I confidently knew all the answers as opposed to most where I know maybe 3. Hell, I was so good I listed 10 correct answers when there were only 9! Not sure why I was confident Sweden held a Winter Games, but knowing all 9 I still managed to pick the most answered answer. I psyched myself out of answering Russia since I had 10 "correct" answers and thought maybe Moscow 1980 would count as a USSR being a different host nation that Russia. Then I would have lost on tiebreaker, so even more furstrating.

Great game Rass, and big thanks to SL for running this. Always a fun game.

BSF is way too good to be a seven seed!

By the way, Dick Florida can eat a bag of dicks. In what world is Toronto a bigger economic powerhouse than Shanghai?

In the one where Dick Florida lives in Toronto.

It's measured in A&W's per square kilometer.

Not for nothing, but I think I've caught a scoring glitch after Q2. I have to go into a meeting, but I'll double-check that math. It's a -3 point swing in AB's favor that I think should've gone the other way.

It looks ok to be but let me know what it is and I'll take a closer look

I doublechecked it too and it seems right. Not that I'm biased.
