The Unofficial AllGames Group Update: Day 1


The first day of the NCAA Basketball Tournament is usually only interesting to people who have televisions or are near television.  It is with that in mind that I write this blog post.  Here are the standing of the Unofficial AllGames Group after the first day of the Big Dance.

After the first day, YT4RD, joedigitech, and mattober100 are in the lead as of this writing.  While none of these brackets were perfect, only mattober100 made a mistake that could cost him in the end.  mattober100 picked Oklahoma to win over North Dakota State, but, thankfully, he didn't have them advancing past the Round of 32.

Hectzilla, dcNate, Redertainment, ShadowNextGen, and another entry from mattober100 are all tied for fourth place, just twenty points out of first.  None among them have a clear edge going forward in the tournament, although ShadowNextGen might be hampered after having incorrectly picked Ohio State and NC State to advance to the Sweet Sixteen.  Both Hect and dcNate did choose Arizona as their champion, so it will be interesting to see how the Wildcats's success or failure in the tournament will affect the performance of their brackets.

In last place in this group are DoomPlague and two entries from dcNate.  dcNate is probably kicking himself right now.  Oklahoma and Arizona State, two of the teams dcNate picked to advance to the Elite Eight in his Go Banana entry, lost today.  Go Banana has the least amount of possible points left in this group, so it's probably a good thing that dcNate submitted three different entries into this group.

Still, the Unofficial AllGames Group is anyone's to win.  That is it's anyone's to win if that person is already in this particular group.  It'll be interesting to see how the standing change as the rest of the First Round is played out.  Who knows, perhaps your humble narrator might come out on top.  It's not likely, but it is possible.
