Hi Flex,

I'm still a little bit confused here. I see that I have my home map so I am on offense to start and will start at the 25 yard line. I lose in 6 rounds or less and I have a turnover. Can you please explain how much yardage we gain for each round we win a game? Thanks.

[shoop76]

I think I understand now. I guess I scored a TD on my first drive?

[flexmaster33]

Yes...you are the first to score!!!

[reptile]

flex, i love your tourneys and appreciate all that goes into them

[flexmaster33]

Good to hear...thanks. I'm enjoying this one, especially

[flexmaster33]

Just a heads up for players...if you are the 'red' that means you have possession of the ball and are on offense. If you are 'green' then you are on defense for that drive.

[flexmaster33]

Invites have been sent to get everyone through the first quarter.
I'll update the scoreboards on Monday and Tuesday we'll start with the 2nd quarter wave of maps.

[flexmaster33]

I'll get score updates posted tomorrow night.
Just sent out the final drives for the first half.

Good luck to all as we head into halftime. Some good games going in this first round.

I'll be starting the second half maps sometime mid-week

[flexmaster33]

Scoreboards are updated with most games approaching halftime. Good matchups all around.

[flexmaster33]

Sent out the maps to start the 3rd quarter, good luck as we head into the 2nd half of games.

A few first-half highlights.

Portland State has four early touchdowns to take a 28-7 lead over Notre Dame. The Vikings are the highest scoring team heading into the half.

Syracuse has its kicker to thank for a 19-10 lead over Penn State, as the Orange have booted four first-half field goals.

South Carolina holds a 17-13 lead over USC in a tight first-round game with the Trojans driving the ball late in the first half.

And in the late time block, Nebraska holds a 3-0 lead over LSU early in the first quarter.

[flexmaster33]

Also a reminder as we move down the stretch if you want to go for 2 after a touchdown simply denote that in your game chat. Remember the percentages of converting are around 38%.

IF it is your final drive and you need to go for 2 in order to tie your game, then that will be the default setting.

[flexmaster33]

Maps are out to get us through the 3rd quarter.

Looks for a score update late tonight, as I catch up on all the action from over the weekend.

Time to raise those four fingers up over your helmet. It's crunch time!!!

[flexmaster33]

Some of who have already seen, but for those who enjoy the sports season format, my NCAA basketball season event is now taking sign-ups. Check it out!!!

[flexmaster33]

All maps for first-round matchups have been sent, so now we are just waiting for teams to finish up their games.

Speaking of games, my 35-7 lead late in the third quarter has shrunk to a 35-28 edge heading into the final few drives. Evil Semp's Notre Dame squad has put on quite the comeback!!!

[flexmaster33]

Congrats to Miami on advancing to the Fiesta Bowl quarterfinal game, and to South Carolina on advancing to the Rose Bowl quarterfinal game.

I've also added our overtime procedure, seeing that I've likely blown a 28-point lead and am going into extra time. C'mon Vikings, pull it together!!!

[flexmaster33]

We will be onto the quarterfinals here shortly...

We have Michigan vs. Miami in the Fiesta Bowl
and Syracuse vs. South Carolina in the Rose Bowl.

Official scores will go up tomorrow night, but we have all our quarterfinal matchups set.

The Peach Bowl has Illinois against Portland State
and the Sugar Bowl has Nebraska against UT-San Antonio.

Good luck, opening drive maps for the bowl games have been sent.

[flexmaster33]

I tweaked the yardage system slightly for the quarterfinals and beyond. We'll be using the top scoring chart listed for those rounds.

[flexmaster33]

Scoreboard updated.

We had our first defensive touchdown of the tournament with Miami returning a fumble into the end zone for six points.

[flexmaster33]

I'll get a scoreboard update up late tonight. Just sent the maps to start the second half.

Good luck as the quarterfinals continue.

[flexmaster33]

The quarterfinals have all been decided...just awaiting final scores.

So we have started the semifinal matchups ...
Michigan vs. Portland State in the Orange Bowl
South Carolina vs. Nebraska in the Cotton Bowl.

A heads up ... winners of the semifinals qualify for prizes in this tourney.

Great timing...first week of the real NCAA initial bracket projection, and we are into our Final Four

Good luck all

[flexmaster33]

Our last quarterfinal game has gone final with Nebraska closing out UTSA 41-19...we are into the middle of the 2nd quarter for the semifinal games. Good luck to those who remain as we near halftime.

[flexmaster33]

Halftime in the Orange Bowl, and the Wolverines are blowing out my Vikings 34-3.

On the other hand, the Cotton Bowl is in a thrilling 7-7 deadline after the first quarter.

[flexmaster33]

Man, oh man, I'm getting hammered by Michigan ... 48-3 and we're still in the third quarter.

Safe to say the Wolverines have gained a spot into the championship game.
