Florida completed an amazing year for the school, winning national championships in football and basketball. James Fash, a student in my Business Organizations class, won the first Conglomerate Blog NCAA Basketball Challenge.
We had an unusual scoring system, which awarded one point for each correct winner and additional points for the winner's seed. James won by correctly calling 49 of 63 games, but two other students -- Brian Grill and Matt Gardner -- each called 50 games correctly. Well done!
I am not sold on the scoring system. Doug Hoffer successfully picked the Final Four teams, but ended up in 21st place!

Sounds like you need to hire Tom Bell to review your formula.

Thanks for the sympathy, Gordon. Worse than finishing 21st in the Glom bracket is enduring the needling my wife (who does not follow basketball) is giving me after she finished ahead of me in our work bracket.
I do promise not to praise the scoring system next year if I move up in the rankings.
