Bracket Integrity

[SoonerBounce13]

The internet has killed bracket Integrity it seems. Am I the only one out there that still only fills out 1 bracket?

I still print out a hard copy to update as the dance moves on

i agree, i dont like hearing people brag about how well their bracket is doing when they filled out more than 1.

As far as I am concerned, you can fill out up to 2 brackets. One in which your team wins it all and the other where you are more realistic.

 

[sperry]

I fill out as many as I enter paid bracket pools. How much they differ depends on how confident I am in my picks.

If I'm doing it just for fun, I fill out only one. Not really any point in doing more.

1 bracket end of story.

 

[oudna]

1 fantasy league for that matter too

I did one and completely homered it up.

then I thought "I was such a homer" so I started another one and I altered a couple of games but it still came out completely homer.

A lot of righteousness going on in this thread. I guess I would be the heretic because I feel out at least 4 to 5 different brackets a year for work, yahoo, ESPN, and CBS....none of them are the same. If you bought several "pick three" lotto tickets, would you use the same the three numbers on each ticket? I hope not.

One (1) bracket in the OUhoops group, and that's it for me.

I mean i get it if you are in contests. But you still have to have one official bracket. You can't create 5 brackets and then brag about an upset that you only picked in 1 of them. If you create multiple brackets, you can only be allowed to brag about one of them

Put me in the, 1 what I want to happen, and 1 what I believe will happen category.

We do a "family" bracket contest, where my wife, son and daughter fill out brackets. That's my "official" bracket, written in pen, the old fashioned way.

I try to be a little different on all of the contests I enter, though. That's to try to cover some upsets, etc. It never works.

Luckily, the homer brackets are going to do very well this year!

You could have stopped right there.

Well....since I've never won a bracket contest in 20+ years of filling them out, I certainly wouldn't have much to brag about.

I do 1 bracket, but it sure sucks when it gets destroyed with early upsets

 

[chuckb]

I only do 1 because I just don't care that much but I have thought about just doing a coin flip bracket and seeing how it compares to other brackets.

 

[Max Power]

i Do one bracket, and then i do the 2nd chance bracket after the first weekend. I just find the 2nd chance a fun way to enhance the 2nd weekend if i have no dog in the fight.

It doesn't bother me if they filled out a couple but if you fill out 10 or more, you should be able to do pretty well in one of them.
