March Madness is quite the deal at my house. Each year, everyone fills out a bracket, chooses a name, and then follow the bracket in hopes that we will win. We make it a competition at my house. We keep track of points, and then at the end of each round the person that chose the most games right wins a prize.
Filling out the brackets is always very interesting. Each year, it is a rip-off. Well for me anyway. Me and my dad watch Sportscenter, we listen to the reporters to see who should win, and we always know what is going on with the teams and the tournament. My brother kind of knows what going on, and then my sister and my mom never have a clue about anything. But each year, my mom wins.
Finally, this year I asked her. "So Mom...what is your strategy for picking the teams and always winning?"
Well, you know, I just choose the city I like best."
"Wow! That is a joke! You just choose the city you like best?"
"Yes, it's as easy as that."
And guess who is winning this year? Mom. Of course. She must just like all the lucky cities.
I'm pretty sure most of the brackets are ruined this year. Most of the teams that were supposed to win are now out. My sister is out of teams on her bracket, and the rest of us just have Kansas. Which is quite scary at the moment as they are losing to a number eleven seed. If Kansas loses then maybe we will repick for the last few games since our brackets will have no more teams left.
Looks like next year I just need to start picking the cities I like best. And please, if you still have teams on you're bracket and it's doing good. Please tell me you're secrets of picking for next year. :)
