So my guess is that if you have all the #3 and 4 seeds, and when you click on the link to play there are only 3 and 4 seeds that are in the available pool, you will get that. But that if you play tomorrow, you still could get a seed simply because at that time, one of the ones you do need might be in the available. Didn't somebody calculate it and say that it came to one team every 5 seconds on average or something like that? So as more and more people are filling up their brackets, there could be a backlog of teams waiting to be gotten, just as there seemed to be before the AMOE. And as long as one of the teams you need are in the backlog, you would win.
Again, totally a guess on my part, but that would explain why some people reported getting the "Sorry you didn't win" message several days ago when they definitely had all teams still remaining to give out.
So, if you have a family of six & get all their names, it makes for a nice keepsake. I will say that they are a bit pricey (& shipping on top of that). The save a dollar SAC codes don't really amount to much, comparatively speaking. That's probably why many folks toss them. Understandable. But the bottles make for unique gifts
Interesting how many are affected by this adware when using the Coke site.

Still down for maintenance. It's been this way for more than a full day.
Hell-World Strikes Again!
When did you play? I stupidly continued my usual "just after midnight" playing, which was probably the worst time to play now that the guaranteed to get a team times are over. I'll have to go back to waiting a bit. With 6 more days, I'd be happy to get 3 more teams. I could finish my second account with just 2 more if I get lucky. My first account actually completed an entire side of the bracket with just 9 teams. So I may have used up my luck with that account.
Today was my first encounter with not getting a seed in the NCAA contest. I started a couple days late and had been successful every time till now. Three family accounts, two with 15 seeds and one with 14 as of today.
