Stop firing to grab the powerups!

TheYow: great feedback. I'll look into adding that next year.

Only the top card from the stack can be moved up. Cards cannot be moved between stacks. The foundations (top 4 cards) grow by 1,2,3,4. If you look at the hints above the cards it will show you the next card needed. Sorry you didn't have much luck.

Best of luck everyone. I'll update the scores a couple of times during the day as the games complete.

Congrats to ExDyversTriad10 and North Carolina!

John. 250+ people have a score greater than zero. 150 people have a decent score, so that is likely the number with full brackets.

Congrats to hhmsdude for a perfect day 1.

Uploaded a new version: v1.2.8 has code to prevent the results and top100 files from being cached. Add a comment if your "updated" date/time is not 3/19 11:32pm or later.

Kord67. I updated some results around 3pm. You should start seeing the results of the games. If not, the download file is likely cached. I'll double check the noCache logic tonight. I haven't run the scripts to update the score. I'll do that a couple of times a day.

No more entries. Just some basketball! Best of luck everyone.

Kord67 - Do you know if you were logged in? If you tried early in the day, there was a bug that would save data for Guests that could never be loaded. The game stores the data remotely and so potentially it got lost in the network. I'll add better feedback on save to the wish list.

The 2009 Bracket will go up on Sunday March 15th after the selection show.

Congrats to izi_dore for the highest score. Thanks everyone for playing and helping me work out some bugs in the process.

I just released the fla, *.as, and server side PHP scripts for this project under a zlib license. http://mountabbey.com/projects/bracket.html

Oops. Now that's a bug. I have the wrong teams playing in the final rounds. TJpatriots noticed this and I fixed the labels but not the actual teams. I'll figure out a way to score the next round to give out points and a way to score the final game if you picked the champion.

My webhosting (Dreamhost) is down until 9am Saturday morning for planned maintenance out of my control. Sorry for not getting Friday night results up yet. I will do it in the morning once the site returns.

Juze. Think of the bracket like roulette. You are picking your numbers between now and Mar 20th, and then the ball spins multiple times and plays out the 63 selections to determine how much you win. Some people think there is some logic or skill involved too. And because you get to watch the games on TV, it makes for a good distraction.

DankHerbal. Thanks for badge request! The game will report your score and rank (as a percent) for each round to Kongregate. They can add a badge at any point but I don't expect one because the game is really only played until Thursday). The top 100 names/scores will be shown on the score page and the highscore page will start getting updated once the basketball games begin. And after the first game starts on the 20th, your picks will be locked in and new players won't be able to make any choices.

h2. Updated to 1.5 Fixed a bug with autocomplete not stopping at Kings.

h2. Updated to 1.4 Added checkmarks by the levels you have completed. These get saved locally.
