Instead of taking an hour to pick an entire bracket full of teams only to see the people who pick the top seeds score the most points, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newsvine.com\/_games\/tpickem08\/\">Cinderella Bracket Challenge<\/a> gives you a limited budget of 300 credits to pick as few or as many teams as you want.  Top seeds cost the most and weaker seeds (&#8220;Cinderellas&#8221;) are cheap.<\/p>\n<p>Your goal is to pick the basket of teams you can afford, given a fixed budget, that will net the most total victories in the tournament.<\/p>\n<p>So if you&#8217;re interested in the NCAA Tournament, head on over to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newsvine.com\/_games\/tpickem08\/\">Cinderella Bracket Challenge<\/a> and you can fill out up to three separate entries. Make sure to either join an existing group or create a group of your own and invite your friends in.  We don&#8217;t encourage gambling at Newsvine, but what you do behind closed doors is your business. :)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you haven&#8217;t filled out an NCAA bracket yet (or even if you have), head on over to the Newsvine Cinderella Bracket Challenge and pick your teams before Thursday&#8217;s tournament tipoff.
