College World Series

The CWS starts Saturday. The field is set. For any that don't follow it closely, let me give you a run down of how it works. There are two four team pools. Those four teams play a double elimination tournament and the winners of those two pools play a best of three series for the championship.

What I want from you is to pick the winner of each pool (3 points each) and then tell me who the overall champion will be (5 points).

Scoring Question

I want to adjust the scores from our first two tennis tournaments (Austrailian Open and French Open). I don't like the way that I set up the scoring. In both tournaments there have been people who have correctly predicted the final match but got the final result wrong but they got less points than someone who correctly predicted the second place finisher even though the person they said they would lose to didn't even participate in the final.

I'm asking for suggestions for rescoring and permission to go ahead and do that. I would like to get this taken care of before Wimbledon starts on June 22.

Belmont Stakes

You know how horse racing works by now. Give me three in order. Some people have have given me an alternate in case one of the original three scratch before post. I don't think I will get the picks up before post time because I will be at a wedding (Congratulations to Wade).

The post is sometime after 5:00 so try to have your picks in before then.
