First time Bracketeer On the Glory TrailThe NCAA, College Basketball brackets locked at noon (EST) yesterday and action started immediately!
International broadcasts may have been devoted to the teams fighting tooth and nail to lift a championship trophy, but the spotlight was on the Genesys Community's new developer
Kevin, who had just submitted his first Basktetball Tournament Bracket ever!
Who's Kevin? You can read more about his Cinderella story
here, but we caught up with the rookie all star to learn more about his process and first day jitters.
Genesys Casual: Kevin, you had a great first day. You are currently ahead of your boss and your boss's boss. Were you nervous submitting your bracket?
Kevin: 😂😂 No.
Genesys Casual: You are a mere
two points behind the pool's leaders, tied for 14th place in a pool of 66. It's a tight race. How do you feel?
Kevin: I like my bracket so far, I think I have a some good picks.
Genesys Casual: How did you make your picks?
Kevin: Honestly, I just went with my gut on this one.
Genesys Casual: Did you have a special meal or anything to celebrate filling out your bracket?
Kevin: I had Chipotle before I picked.
Genesys Casual: In your bracket, it doesn't look like you picked a team to win the whole tournament. Was this part of your grand design? Were you confident that you don't need the points? Or was this a rookie mistake???
At the time of publication, we have not received a comment. More on this stunning strategy and other pool highlights in our next issue.
Who are the Pool Leaders?
Atop the leaders board in our group are "Turtle Tom" and the ironically named "ProbablyNotAWinne Laura" are in a tight race and their identities are cloaked in mystery. Will the real Tom and Laura please stand up or are the shadows exactly where they like to be...for now?
How about you? How is your bracket going? Have any good game foods? Did your favorite pet dress up for day 1?
