Do you consider this cheating??
Tdiddy (TCD619) is running a bracket contest on cbssports. He could see everyone's picks before the games started.

Ok, so most people took Kansas (he did in two), but he took Kentucky in another one when only 4 people took Kentucky. Do you think it's right for him to look at people's brackets before hand? Because you can change your picks at anytime after looking at other people's bracket.

No way should he be allowed to see everyone's picks before he fills out his bracket.

After the 1st games were tipped off and I saw everyones bracket I couldn't believe how many took Kansas. About 80% in one of my pools. I was one of them and wish I went a different direction with Kentucky or Cuse.

Well he knew I took Murray St to the sweet 16 on Tuesday. Then he called his brother up (who took Kansas, K St, Baylor and WV) and his brother was like how do you who I took.

absolutely cheating. complete bullshit if you ask me. i woulda made 4 other brackets ... 1 with cuse, kentucky, kansas st, and duke. basically just cheer against kansas and he knocks out 80% of the pool ...

Still doesnt make sense to me how a CBS run bracket lets you see other peoples picks before they get locked.

Im not saying he didnt.....I just dont get how.

And again how would someone cheat anyways if there were say 20 brackets being turned in?
