There was an attempted late entry into the Coleman family March Madness tournament, but someone failed to read the rules so we had to disqualify him. Here's his bracket anyway.
Honestly, I tried to find a way to keep him in our tournament. But I was thinking about the need for rules in society and I realized that some things are more important than having the leader of the free world involved in your family fantasy sports tournament. Things like law. And order. If the President thinks he can just waltz in here with his bracket and not follow the seeding rules, he's got another thing comin'. Can we allow the rule of law to be subverted, even in the tiniest of matters? No we can't.
For those of us left in the tournament, here are the teams we all picked:
There were some issues with the picks: Forrest's "internet went down" so the Commissioner and his toady picked his teams for him. We also picked Sage's teams, but that was a different story.
Oh, and I'm sorry about the whole extra half point theme thing. That turned out to be an unrealizable goal, given the small number of teams in the tournament and the needlessly complex other rules that forced us all to pick teams we really didn't want to pick. On balance, I think having a lot of teams way down the bracket makes the first two days of the tournament way more interesting than they would have been if we weren't required to invest so many picks in the potential cinderellas. (If that sentence didn't make any sense to you, you're not alone.) It was worth a try, and I am still pro-arbitrary, silly rules.
