At the urging of literally two posters, I am taking it upon myself to single-handedly launch the FreeOnesOfficial 2009 NCAA Basketball Tournament Bracket Contest. The winner gets bragging rites--unless the mods wanna dip into their bulging pockets and finger out some kind of prize. (I wouldn't make it too fancy, though. There will probably only be five or six people interested.) The rules are simple: In the first field of 64, you get one point for correctly choosing the winners. In the field of 32 you'll receive two points. The field of 16 4 points. The field of 8 eight points. In the Final Four twelve points and finally ******* points for picking the winner of it all. I will update the scores at the end of each round. Here are the teams in the field of 64(The play-in game doesn't count. Only the winner vs. Louisville counts in the 64):
