SoCon Tourney Challenge 2012

Think you can pick the Southern Conference Tournament? Want to put your pride on the line against other SoCon fans and see if you are right? Been reading Scanning the SoCon all year and think you know way more than any of us about the SoCon?

There are no prizes- just merely pride on the line in this SoCon Tourney Challenge.

Pick every game in the tournament all the way through the bracket. For example, if you pick The Citadel to pick Western Carolina on Friday night, you should pick who you think will win the match-up between The Citadel and Wofford. Pick all eleven games in the tournament.

But there is a catch. Each team has points awarded based on seeding. If you pick The Citadel to win, you get six points if they actually do.  If you pick Davidson to win, you get one point if they actually do. If you are unsure of the seed for each team, the list is below.

There are tiebreakers. The first tiebreaker is the total points in the title game, so be sure to include that in your picks. The next tiebreaker is that it starts with points won in each round starting in the championship game and working backwards to Friday's action.

You can post your picks in the comments section or send me an e-mail at MocsBasketball97@yahoo.com by midnight Thursday night. Be sure to include in the subject line "SoCon Tourney Challenge" so I don't accidentally delete it as spam mail.

I hope that a lot of people join. I'll publish updates to the standings at the end of each round for sure- I'd like to think that I would be able to post updates at the end of each session, but I don't want to commit to that.
If we have enough people, I'll try to post percentages of picks for each team on Thursday or Friday. We'll see.

Good luck to everyone. I look forward to the competition.
