We have our champions!
Thanks again to everyone for playing. Congrats to the winners, and see you all next year!
Rules:
The cost of entry as always is $5, or 3 for $12 (cheap!). Cash, Check, PayPal (superman@yeah-buddy.com), or Venmo (@grpfrtjc – double-check your spelling!) are preferred. PayPal Users: Please ensure you make it a "personal" transaction to avoid fees, and fund the transaction with your bank account; if you pay with credit card, please add 30 cents per entry.
Winner takes 60% of total pot, 2nd place takes 30%, 3rd place takes 10%. Dead Last gets your money back, you poor thing. 2nd to last gets Double your money back - how about that?!?!
The pot will be 100% of the money I receive. I am taking no cut here, so the more people that enter, the bigger the pot. Am I generous, or a sucker? (Answer: Both)
You may enter more than once, but you may only win once. So if you get 1st and 2nd, you only get 60%, not 90%. And you also need to give me some advice on my bracket next year.
First round (the round of 64) game winners are worth 2 points each.
Second round (the round of 32) game winners are worth 3 points each.
Each Elite Eight team you pick is worth 4 points.
Each Final Four team you pick is worth 6 points.
Each championship game team you pick is worth 8 points.
If you pick the winner, it's worth 12 points.
"First Four" round play-in game winners are worth 0 points each. Not scoring those this year... I have a lot on my plate! Please Note: If you pick one of the First 4 Teams to advance beyond the first round, please either list BOTH Teams' names, or a Generic Label such as "Game 0D Winner". If you just list one team from the First-Four games to win additional games, but it's the wrong team, I will NOT award you those points. But if you list both teams from the Play-In game to win, then the points are yours!
The tiebreaker is simple: You pick a number. Whoever is closest to the points scored by the winner of the game, wins the tiebreaker. READ THAT CLOSELY. For those of you who intentionally pick outrageously high numbers, either because you didn't read the rules or because you like to mess with me, or maybe watched the Hawk's record-breaking loss in the Big Ten tournament, do so at your own risk!
Special rules:
1) Get your entry in on time! No time for special rules...
