NCAA Tournament Pools: Bracket Strategies for the Basketball Season ‘08

There are a lot of predictions to get through the

trend of picking the right 16 teams to fill out the

brackets. Okay. Make a wild educated guess. Pick one

team. Any team. Make sure that it will come out after

March Madness ends. Can you do that? Of course you

can!



That is, if you make every decision a very precise

one. You can’t keep on trusting your instincts or toss

a coin and depend your answer on that. Well, science

was based on theories but they have allotted so much

time digging into those researches before constructing

an elaborate definition of one word that can still be

objected in due time. This can also be applied to NCAA

basketball.



So here’s the deal. You want to take home the big

bucks. And you have a really good team at the end of

your bracket. Question is, are those teams ideal? As a

lot of people say, wagers made for the sake of

entertainment are most likely illegal. And yet, who’s

talking? Think about that and reflect on these

strategies.



Think Before They Do



Go against time. Better yet, think as they would then

counter on it. Before the games begin, you have to

have a clear idea what will happen if you have chosen

the seeds who were appropriate enough to battle out

with the weaker ones. It is definitely a good choice

to make the good seeds go first just to settle the

odds. That would be a good move, and is definitely the

right decision because most people would think about

that kind of method.



But if you could’ve played it like a chess player

would, that might be the solution. Pick certain

upsets. Be sure these upsets won’t destroy the bracket

if guesses were wrong. In this manner, you are not

risking so much for so little.



Tournament pools are most likely to award points, with

every round, those points increases. From 2, you could

gain 16 every round once your bracket reached the

elite eight. If the following rounds are equivalent to

more points, you can accumulate them by trying to

maintain a team playing in the following weeks.



Know Your Opponent



You are not competing against the basketball team

themselves. It’s that accountant on 10th floor that

you made a deal with you have to look forward to. Know

what team he would prefer. This will enable you to

maximize chances of being one step ahead. Scouting the

opposition is not a bad idea.



Base on the History



If a particular team had been seeded to be in the

number one seed, there could’ve been a very good

reason why the top seeds remain on top. Look on the

brighter side; you have more chances of winning than

losing.



Note one more thing: luck would be on your side if you

have figured out the teams who have dominated the

enormous conferences.



Be confident and less intimidated



Being intimidated is a big downfall on your part. So

what if your opponent keeps on claiming that he knows

his team inside and out? People who have such a very,

very high level of self-confidence tends to over think

the situation thus not considering what problems may

come at hand.



Yes, be confident but not overconfident. Even though

you have known the team you have included in your

bracket, and even if you know how strong your team is

going, you never have to underestimate the bets of

your opponent. Do not be the person that was just

described above.

International Basketball Regulations

Basketball is a contact team sport played by 12-15

members but only 5 players each team are allowed to go

inside the court at a time and play the game. Others

who are left on the sides are substitutes. It was

first played in Springfield, Massachusetts in 1891. It

can either be played indoors or outdoors. And the name

was derived from shooting the ball inside a basket

which is known as the ring.



Basketball, like every game, has its certain rules and

regulations that are needed to propel an exciting and

organized game. The time that was introduced varies

from one organization and tournament to another.

Wherein this article will discuss the rules and

regulations used during international section.



Objective



The main objective of the game is to outrun scores.

This is done by shooting the ball through the

opponent’s basket while preventing opposing team to

score or get a hold of the ball. Attempting to score

is called a shooting. Two points will be equivalent to

one shot while 3 points happens when a shot is taken

6.25 meters from the basket basing on the

international aspect.



Regulations



Time



An international basketball game lasts about 2 hours.

Within this time, there would be 4 quarters of playing

time of 10 minutes every quarter. Add the 15 minutes

that are allotted for half-time break and the other 2

minutes for the other quick breaks. At the end of the

second quarter, teams change baskets. Time is stopped

when the game is not active or when certain problems

arise while the game is at play.



Time-outs would typically last not more than a minute.

This also applies for clock stoppages. Time-outs are

used for short meet ups with players when the coach

wants to emphasize something important.



Team



A basketball roster is comprised of 12 players. And

the game is played by two opposing team. In each team,

out of the 12 members, only 5 are allowed to actually

play inside the court each time. So technically, you

would see 10 people inside the court battling it out

for one ball. Teams have their own coach who gives out

strategies and developments of the team. More like a

teacher at the side of the court. Aside from the

coach, the team also has its own personnel like

assistant coaches, statisticians, managers, trainers

and in case of emergency, a doctor.



Attire



This goes for both men and women. The standard uniform

that everyone should follow is a pair of comfortable

shorts and jersey. Printed at the front and back of

the jersey, the player’s number should be visible

enough for everyone to see. Sneakers are high-top to

provide ankle support. Aside from these, you’ll also

notice that the team’s name, sponsors and player’s

name is printed.



Game Officials



Officials calling the shots are consisted with the

referees, two umpires, and table officials. Table

officials are the ones who are responsible for

recording scoring, substitutions, timekeeping, team

and individual fouls, and the shot clock.



Equipment



Two of the most important equipments that are needed

for a basketball game to be in session are the court

and the ball itself. The court looks rectangular and

flat with two baskets at the opposite sides. This will

be enough for freestyle basketball. But in competitive

areas, the requirements are more complicated.

Equipments needed aside from the court and ball are

the score sheets, possession arrows, clocks,

scoreboards and clock systems that are operated by the

table officials.
