Instructions Competition Mode: For each correct answer, you get points based on how many other players get the question wrong. Your score is the sum of all correct answers.

Example: If you get a question correct that only 10% of all players get correct, you get 90 points for that question.

You can choose 5 questions to "Double". If you get it correct, your score is doubled for that question.

TIP: Easy questions aren't usually worth doubling since you are likely doubling a small number of points. You're better off doubling the hardest questions that you think you have correct (80 points possibly doubled is a lot better than 10 points definitely doubled).

You will not lose points for incorrect answers, so feel free to guess.

You can enter up to three group names, separated by commas, in the "Private Group" input. After you submit, when you view your results you can see the leaderboards for just your group(s). You will also get links you can share with others so they can play in those groups.
Feel free to create your own group name, such as your company or town, and pass the links along to friends, family, and coworkers.

Good luck!
    
 
Question #18: College Basketball: The first NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament with 64 teams, a format it would retain until 2001, which was won by #8 seed Villanova over #1 seed Georgetown in one of the biggest upsets in sports history, took place in what year?

Answer: 1985
The tournament field had been growing steadily since its inception with only 8 teams in 1939. Beginning in 2001, the field was expanded to 65 teams, adding what was informally known as the "play-in game." The current format includes four play-in games for a total of 68 teams. The Georgetown team Villanova defeated included Patrick Ewing, the #1 pick in the 1985 NBA draft.
