Tuesday, March 5: 8:00 pm CST — 4 first round matchups
Tuesday, March 12: 8:00 pm CST — 4 second round matchups
Tuesday, March 26: 8:00 pm CST — 2 semi-final matchups

Hey John. Are you officially not allowing my revision after gfhawk dropped out?
-
No, because some of the matches had already been played.
-
I think I posted the request an hour before the first match as soon as I found out my pick wasn’t playing. Up to you.
-
I didn’t see that. I’ll update your picks.
