Tournament Seed
Think the NCAA Selection Committee has their act together? Put a high weighting on this one!

Weighted Win Pct
So you think it's all about a team's record and strength of schedule? This stat is for you! We even give teams extra credit for beating top 50 teams and a bigger boost for beating top 25 teams

Average Rebounds
This one will favor teams that are strong on the glass. Total offensive and defensive rebounds per game.

Steals/Turnovers
Think of this as "ball handling". If a team steals the ball a lot and never turns it over, they will do well on this one.

Average Blocks
So you like teams with a 7' 11" center? You might like to put a high weighting on this slider.

Field Goal Percent
It's always nice to know if a team can shoot the ball!

Three Point Percent
Even with a revised 3 pointer, some teams can still drain the three!

Common Opponent
Cool! We do all the work. We look at each matchup in terms of how each team did against common opponents (when available).

Last 10 Win Percent
Want to find teams that are HOT? This one is for you.

Sagarin Ratings
Direct game matchups using Sagarin ratings with NO home court adjustment

Top 25 Winning Percent

Upset Factor
Throw in a few upsets! We'll flip the results of a few close games based on this setting.

Madness/Upset Factor
Move this away from zero and we'll toss in a few random upsets for some close games.... crank up the "madness"

Average Points
Like the teams that run and gun? Here you go!

Last 20 Win Percent

Favorite Team
If you have a favorite team you want to see go all the way, tell us who it is and we'll bring 'em to the big dance.

Favorite Jersey Color
Just for fun... If you like a certain team color, choose it and when we "burn" your bracket, we'll favor teams that wear that color.

HOW DOES THIS WORK ?	[X]
We'll give you several key basketball stats (and some that are just for fun) to consider. Examples of these are three point percentage, tournament seed, weighted winning percentage, steals/turnovers, and even team color! Decide the "importance" of each statistic and click "Burn Bracket!" Thanks to some cool database technology that we developed, you'll quickly see your completed NCAA tournament bracket based on your preferences. We look forward to your feedback, and we hope you have a little more fun making this years picks!

WHAT IS BACK TESTING ?	[X]
After you've adjusted your slider values you can test how those values would have done against prior tournaments. We have data for 2007 and 2008. Try tweaking your sliders until you have a high winning percentage in prior years, then apply those settings to this year by clicking the "View New Bracket" button.
