I should have started this yesterday morning, but I've been too busy these days. I thought it might be fun to compete one-on-one with your fellow TKPers in a battle of ACC basketball knowledge/skill (read: luck #ACCsucks). The rules and stakes can be made up to your liking as long as you and your opponent agree on them.
The way I envision this going is similar to how my dad and I chose Bowl games so that we have teams to cheer for. The first comment to this post should pick game 3 and 4 of today's ACC tournament (Miami and Clemson - already started I know, sorry). The reply should be from someone who wants to compete against you with their pick of games 5 and 6.
After the games are finished today, I will try to update the bracket below and we can pick the round 3 games in similar fashion to round 2 and continue on from there.
Feel free to alter the guidlines per match-up as you see fit, I did this relatively quick and probably won't even read this over for gramatical erors.
Rewards: Whether it's upvotes or bragging rights or something hilarious, make sure you agree on a reward/punishment for the winner/loser. Each opponent can have a different reward or punishment if agreed upon. I will start with a comment below for an example.
Good luck!
Comments
Game 3: Miami - Because I hate both teams, but I like that Cone and Lykes have created a mentor type relationship
Game 4: Pittsburgh - Had a decent game against Wake yesterday and I don't trust the wolfpack
Winner: Loser has to reply to winner's next 3 comments (outside of this thread) in complete support no matter the content of the comment (within community guidelines).
So do I pick the next 2 games?
I pick ND and UNC. Roy owns Boeheim.
You got it and you're up 1-0. I'll pick the next two before the games start tomorrow and you can start with the UVA game unless you want to switch it up.
Is it too late to take Clemson and NC State/s. Pitt looks overmatched early.
Not looking great for me so far...
At this point, if anyone wants to keep doing this, they may want to start for the games tomorrow. I realize it wasn't optimal to start this halfway through the first game of the second round, but I did want to see how much interest there was.
