Okay folks, here are my picks...

1st round picks

1 over 16, hands down! No competition!

8 over 9, what a fight this'll be! Tough call! Very tough call! @witness, please record!

4 over 13, Battlemoders vs. Scrummers! If it was BM, my pick would definitely be 13 over 4!

5 over 12, this'll be another good fight! But in the end, I thin Zack is going to crack under the pressure and blow it for his team!

14 over 3, Ambitious Newbie's vs. Experienced Vets! I¡¦m going to bet on the upset!

6 over 11 had to change my bet on this one¡K 6 is just too strong for them!

15 over 2, another tough call, both teams are so closely matched!

10 over 7, hands down, but it'll be a better fight than 1 vs. 16

Round 2 picks

1 over 8,

4 over 5,

14 over 6 don't know why, but I have a good feeling about these kids.

10 over 15, this'll be another close one!

Round 3 picks

1 over 4,

10 over 14, all good things must come to an end sooner or later, Luck will only carry them so far!

Championship!

It'll be a vicious battle, but in the end, Major Pain, DaimBranage, and Zimp will pull off the upset!!!

Go underdogs!!!

If we do get by team 11 and team 14 beats us, ill swallow a frisbee,

Tally, will this be before or after you fill your shoes with ketchup?

Any way you look at it, there are a bunch of extremely-powerful teams on the roster. This thing could go to anyone with the slightest tip of luck.

TEAM 7 ALL THE WAY, BABY!!

I take umbrage to your vote on team 1!

Hmmmm....Agree on most, but don't be so sure about betting 4 over 5. I've handled ReagentX before (not consistently by any stretch), and I don't think most people know just how talented ACA is. Besides, we have Z!

EDIT: Round 1=5/8.

My Picks: [YES] if they are right, [NO] if they are wrong

====Round 1 (5/8 right)====

[YES DQ] 1 over 16 (Sorry, Filbert, but I've never seen you play)

[NO] 8 over 9 (but I was wrong...sigh)

[YES DQ] 4 over 13 (definite)

[YES] 5 over 12 ;)

[NO DQ hmmmmm] 3 over 14 (They have Ween...it's over)

[NO] 6 over 11 (surely)

[YES] 2 over 15 (it'll be ugly, though)

[YES] 10 over 7 (no doubt)

====Round 2====

[NO] 1 over 8

5 over 4 (yes, I think we can)

[NO] 6 over 3 (but it will be ugly)

10 over 2 (maybe...hard to say)

====

I have no idea about Round 3. Don't want to jinx anything, and all the teams are pretty golden by that point. Can't wait to see the turnout, though.

Of course, I'm still a bit of a newb, so this might be as accurate of a prediction as a quarter toss.

5 over 12 won't happen and 5 over 4 especially won't happen since you'll never make it there. :P

I cant get that team together because they won't reply to my emails! I also want a fair game. But that comes in the next round after we wup up on some team 5.

(with your best, slow PBS semi-British voice)

"And here we see the males of the species; prancing about; chests inflated; shoulders wide. This is the ancient tribal dance, masterfully performed to bolster their spirits on the eve of the great hunt...."

Aren' t you boys just precious.

Xxxooo

:-)

TG

TG, she's pretty funny :)

Blasted Mccoy, fact checking scoundrel :)

Oh no! I screwed up :S I got 9 and 8 mixed up!!! Oops... I knew Sherm, Ge0rge, and Sniper would win that...

Stealth, get ready to eat a frisbee as well! XD

Team 1 all the way.... By the way I dont think we will beat them in the first round. I think we would have had a good shot at beating several other teams though...i can hold my own as most of u know...filbert aint bad either. IF WE ONLY HAD # 3 THAT WASNT A DEAD BEAT *#($

This is pretty straightforward.

ROUND 1

--------------------------------------

Winners will be:

1 over 16

9 over 8

4 over 13

5 over 12

3 over 14

6 over 11

2 over 15

10 over 7

ROUND 2

--------------------------------------

Winners will be:

1 over 9

5 over 4, but not by much

6 over 3

10 over 2

ROUND 3

--------------------------------------

Winners will be:

1 over 5

6 over 10

ROUND 4 ---depends on which way the winds of luck blow.

Lol SteAlth!

"Yeah, that's the ticket..."

;)

To SteAlth's defence, he did have team 9 over 8 over in his unedited post in the GG thread ....

LC's pics:

But I'll probably eat this post after Dar gets on fire tonight and Ben blasts Tally & Co. For a Team 6 vs. 11 upset....

It's true, I swear! See for yourself!

These were my original picks before Tally changed the line up! I deleted the post in these forums because tally asked us to delete unrelated posts... But not the one from the GG forums...

@Tally, Still waiting for my cake! XD just kidding! I know it's hard send a cake as a file attachment :)

@Pray, Good Point! You're going to have your hands full with team 15... Good Luck...

@Filbert, good luck, I hope you can prove me wrong, but I doubt it... Maybe after a few months of practicing, you'll have better odds...

@Hugo, yeah... It's a long shot... But Merrick was a TT Olympic gold medalist... Oh wait, so were you :S I just think team 14 has a lot of heart... Have you seen the movie Seabiscuit? Well their like the Seabiscuit of TT's.

@macr0t0r & TankGirl (SX), Thank you for posting your picks...

I'd like to encourage everyone to post thier picks... That's what this thread is for... Sence we don't have PayPal or a way to play for real money... We'll play with TT Bucks! Say $50 TT Bucks per pick! Whoever get's the most picks gets the pot! If its a tie, the pot will be split!

So far, the pot is up to $2050 TT Dollars! It would be $2250, except TG hasn't picked a champion yet, and macr0t0r hasn't made any round 3 picks yet, let alone a champion...

Ok.. And here are my predictions:

-Z-

Just messin', SteAlth! I absolutely remember that you had us picked in the original GG thread!

I guess my wink wasn't quite the ticket...

)

I know, It's all good :)

@ -Z-, thanks for participating, hopefully it'll encourage more %) Your 15 picks put the pot up to $2800 in TT Bucks! Good idea on guessing the scores too! Maybe next time, we can get real organized and do an odds based betting system with a point spread... I think we'd have to get a professional bookie to do something like that :)

Last edited: Friday, January 16, 2004 at 8:49:51 PM

Hehe. Just the two upsets in my predictions I'm afraid.. Seed 5 will marginally beat seed 4, and seed 6 will just pinch it from seed 3.

-Z-

I nsee that everyone thinks team 5 will beat team 12. Well I've got news for you...

We shall conquer all who oppose us!

Granted my team shows their faces.where are you guys?

Last edited: Friday, January 16, 2004 at 9:59:56 PM

@ baklava: You shall "concur" all who oppose you? How "agreeable" of you! :P

So, do you "concur" that we are going to wipe our feet on whatever portion of your team that finally shows up? ;)

@TankGirl: Hoo! Hoo! <Grunt Snort> Me kill EVERYBODY! Me BIG! Hoo! Hoo! <Scratch Scratch Thumpa Thumpa>

EDIT: Ah, he fixed the typo. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.

OH, LC50... I'm sorry dude... %) I just noticed that it was your picks with the scores... Not -Z-'s...

Right on! Thanks bro... The pot is now up to $3550 in TT Bucks!!!

($50 per pick, whoever get's the most winning picks gets the pot! Come on folks! Post your picks! XD

The numbers are score differentials. But I think TG was right about the luck factor (lucky spawns are a bitch). Hey Laggy - where'd you get that fruit basket? I need one for next week...

Last edited: Monday, January 26, 2004 at 12:34:28 PM

Hmmm..... The thing missing from these picks is all the little red DQ's....

What are you talking about mac? Lol

Anywho... Even if im the only opponent you three face, I'll beat you down!!! Yeah!!! You can't handle this!!!

Don't read this part mac: zach! Ishbuu! What are doing?!?! I cant do this alone!!!

Right on Ge0rge! Thanks XD That put the pot up to $4300 !!! I wish we could play with real money... At $2 a pick, the pot would be up to $122!

Everyone's tourney picks (even mine) are blown now due to the 25-17 upset of Tally & Co. By Dar, 2 Medullans, and the Lag Monster.

Just go ahead and split that $4300 up now Stealth, back to the drawing board...

Tanky Jangles and FP will defeat Sherm Ge0rge and Sniper

Z, Mac and ACA will very marginally beat ReagentX Baba and Cowboy

Dar LC50 and Ben will beat Merrick, Kris and Deathtron (if they aint DQ'd)

The Flea, Prey and MJ will win against MP DaimBranage and Zimp.

There.. Mostly the favorites I know.. The only upset will be us at seed 5 beating them on seed 4. Hehe

-Z-

Alright :) Thanks -Z-, your picks put the side pot up to $800 !!! Who else wants in on that action B)

11 over 14 unless one of us is swallowed by an earthquake. Or a DQ.

9 over 1 - why not? I like risks.

4 over 5, gonna be close though.

10 over 2. Call me crazy.

Disclaimer: All predictions exclude possibility of lag, DQ's, or sudden loss of skill.

Right on Ben! XD your picks put the side pot up to $1200 !!! ;) comon people! Post your picks for round 2 before it's too late! :P

I PUT $1,000 TT BUCKS ON Z, MACRO and ACA TO TAKE IT HOME!!! PERIOD!!!

-ACA

Umm, if we lose do we have to mop floors or something? :o

Seeing how most of my Round 1 picks bombed, I'm glad to see we are doing this per round. Okay, here are my Round 2 Pics:

1 over 9 [Won bet]

5 over 4 [Lost bet...dang]

11 over 14

10 over 2 (tough call, actually!)

Right on macr0t0r! Your picks put the side pot up to $1600 !!!

2nd round Side pot betting is now closed! But not to worry, there will be a 3rd round side pot of $400 a pick! Gool Luck!

Time to mop the lag off these servers!

Round 2 Winners!

1

4

11

10

Main Pot ($4300 standings!

TankGirl has 8 winning picks

I have 8 winning picks

Macr0t0r has 7 winning picks

-Z- has 7 winning picks

@LC50 & George, your pics aren't showing up in the thread! All I see in the post is that little box with a red "x" in it... Who did you have for round 2, 3, and 4???

Side Pot ($1600 ) results!!!

SteAlth 3 winning picks...

-Z- with 2 winning picks...

Ben with 3 winning picks...

Macr0t0r with 3

Ben Mac and I spit -Z- $400 bucks for a gain of $133 each!

But I collect an extra $1000 from ACA putting my total winning up to $1133 so far :)

Time for Round 3 betting! Lets double it up! $800 per pick!

I got 1 over 4

And 11 over 10

3rd round side pot: $1600 !!! Who's in???

Round 3 Picks

4 over 1 (Lookin for an upset. Come on Reag, kill 'em!)

10 over 11 (A sure bet in my opinion.)

-macr0t0r

Round 3 picks

10 over 11

1 over 4

Sure bet, macrotor?

11 over 10

1 over 4

And then, 11 over 1. Might as well be optimistic.

No offense, Ben. I place my bets based on those that kick my a$$. I don't see much of team 11, but the guys on team 10 usually restrict me to the role of a scrum delivery truck (special deliver for MajorPain...right at the goal doorstep too).

I wish you luck. But not too much luck, since I got TT bucks riding on this game, now! XD

-macr0t0r

@SteAlth, the above link to my original pick bracket is rebuilt. In Round 3 I had Team 1 over Team 4 and Team 6 over Team 2; In the final, I had Team 1 over Team 2. If we get to revise our picks based on the actual bracket, I would take Team 10 over Team 11 in Round 3 and then Team 1 over Team 10 in the final.

Team 1 may have gotten bruised in Round 2, but "that which does not kill you makes you stronger"... Good luck, Teams!

Ge0rge
