Anyone done a March Madness bracketing app in ASP.NET?

Has anyone built or worked with designing an app in ASP.NET that lets users make picks for the 64-team NCAA March Madness tournament college basketball?  I’m working on such an app for a promotion, and I’d like to see that of others, if it exists.  :)

Actually, this is what I'm thinking in pseudocode now:

(1) have a user login and have them select the winners of the first 32 games in Round 1. Persist these values (the winners w/game scores) using Session variables or ViewState to Round 2 and post the page back unto itself. This will allow the winners to "advance" to the next round.
(2) repeat the above cycle for the remaining Rounds all the way to the National Championship as the elimination of teams reduces the # of games played (16 games, 8 games, 4 games, 2 games, 1 game).

Huh.

I built one. We are in the process of giving it a face lift. You can see it at http://deucemadness.martron.com/. I used the Tounry Logic control at: http://www.tourneylogic.com/. It was a god send. I could concentrate on the DB stuff rather than worrying about drawing the brackets etc. Email me if you want more details: twlichty@gmail.com
