Hi guys,
If you follow NCAA basketball and want to join a department bracket pool,
please email Graham to sign up! (see below). If you don't follow
basketball and want to try to predict the tournament anyway, feel free to
sign up as well... winners are often people who don't know anything about
the teams ;)
Cheers,
Leslie

Hello Everyone,
My favorite season of the year is upon us: MARCH MADNESS.
Any two day stretch with 32 basketball games in it is a
fabulous two days, Nor'easters be damned.
What better way to celebrate this momentous yearly tradition
than a Department-wide bracket competition? I have chosen
you as my lab contact, such that you can ask (read: pester)
anyone in your lab you think might be even remotely
interested to join our bracket pool. The more, the merrier
(and more the winnings!). If they're interested, get me
their name and email address and I'll send them an invite.
There's no way this list has even close to everyone who's
possibly interested, so please spread the word (especially
in the ChemBio areas)!
Now the details... It's a piddling $5 entry fee, with
60/30/10 payouts to the First, second and third places. Your
entry fee is due in my hands before the first game tips off
(which gives you from tonight until Thursday afternoon, time
TBA) or your bracket gets removed from the competition.
We'll be using CBS Sportsline to set up the bracket - it's
super easy and works like a charm. One bracket per person;
may the best bracket win. All the details of scoring are
included on the website.
So, whether you slaved over months of research (basketball
or chemistry, although one might be more useful here than
the other) to figure out all the possible matchups, or if
you chose by whichever teams' colors would make the
prettiest home decor scheme, it's time to pit your strategy
against the rest of Harvard's finest. Good luck!
Graham
