Rules about the NCAA Tournament

It's March and that means St. Patricks Day, Spring, and March Madness.

Since all the professional sports are hiberation for this month, college basketball takes the throne and no not because of school spirit is because of bracket office pools.

With more than a quater of all offices holding some form of office tournament picks it has became an office morale booster and way for employees to earn some extra cash without getting a raise (that's why the bosses love it.)

Hence I am going to spell out some of the basic rules that should be abided by with the NCAA picks.

1) One bracket per person. (Nobody is impressed if you're predicting a 14 seed to the Elite 8 on your tenth bracket.)

2) No complaining about why your sleeper pick turned out to be a dude. (We all know that Winthrope would have won had that call gone the other way...well it didnt so stop talking about it.)

3) Please have at least one "12 seed" upsetting a "5 seed" it happens every year with a few exceptions so if for no other reason just pick one to show people you're not a novice.

4) DO NOT JUST PICK YOUR ALMA MATTA. (unless of course if you went to UNC, UCLA, or Kansas).

5) Under no circumstances do you bragg about your picks in the women's bracket. (qucik question why did you fill out a women's bracket).

6) No cheesy headlines about "A Sweet Victory" or "It's Final" when your picks advance.

7) If you happen to win, do not make hundreds of copies and leave it on everyone's desk it's the easiet way to piss of your co-workers and yes I am speaking from experience.
