TOURNAMENT NEWS
What an incredible basketball tournament. No one saw this developing the way it did with seven seed UConn beating eight seed Kentucky.

Congrats to our winners! We have several winners we want to acknowledge. First, our overall winner Eli Barnes, and our runner up Knox Tate. Eli and Knox both had 81 total points but Eli won the tiebreak with ten teams in the sweet sixteen. Buff Winterer finished third overall and wins the prize for highest ranked family member. In the 'little kids' division which I think we will reprise in an expanded format next year Lily Harrick took the title. Good work.

I hope you all enjoyed

TOURNAMENT RULES
The rules and scoring are simple. Points are given based on round (1,2,4,8,12,16) with underdogs being ten seeds or less getting extra points (2,4,6,8,10,12). The first tiebreaker is if you picked the winner, second tiebreaker is most teams in the sweet sixteen, and last tiebreaker is total points in the final game. if that does not decide it we will put the winners in a room with Moose and the first person he licks will be declared the winner.
TOURNAMENT PRIZES
Welcome to the 2014 LTandLela.com/Thompson Family March Madness College Basketball brackets.

This tournament has been held in some fashion or another for many years, dating back to about 1989 or so, when Macon Thompson started posting brackets for family members in Trumbull, CT. In 2000, we moved the tourney online and opened it up to the general public and the enthusiasm it has received has been wonderful. Ever since then masses of people have gathered to compete for the title of champion.

Some ground rules. I am often asked what the entry fee and prizes are. There is no entry fee, this is a family style competition, with much at stake along the lines of dignity and pride, but no money changes hands. There has been a prize for the last several years, as there will be this year.
