So the madness of March has started and everyone is worrying about their brackets and if they’re going to win the office pool. My boss and I have a Catalina league we do each March, which resembled more of a fantasy team draft as we each pick players, not just teams.
You get the total amount of points your selected player makes through the entire tournament. This forces you to balance picking high-scoring players with teams that will make it through the tournament as far as possible. What this means is that a player that averages 10 points a game, but will be in for 5 games (50 pts) is more valuable to you than a player who scores 20+ but probably won’t make it past the 2nd round.
My boss developed a database application that allows us all to draft onto our team and see all the players available through the process. We have a big draft night in his basement and all have a good time. Here’s my team after the 1st round of games:
I already lost a few players, but right now out of the league of 10 teams, I’m hanging out in the middle of the pack.
I’ve also got a couple of different brackets I’ve been working on through the ESPN website. I’m not doing very well on those. I even did a mascot bracket this year, and sadly I’m doing about as well in that bracket as I am on the ones I tried to actually plan and strategize on.
Looking forward to the Final Four heading to Indianapolis in a couple of weeks. If you’re team is on the road to make it to the Final Four and your need parking for the games, I’ve got the best parking in Indianapolis for you! It’s located in the Hurst Bean lot just south of the Lucas Oil Stadium. We have parking available for Saturday’s games and the final championship game on Monday.

Much more fun than the same old bracket pool option.
