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 35 cents per entry.
  • Winner takes 60% of total pot, 2nd place takes 30%, 3rd place takes 10%. Also, Back by popular demand, the last-place loser also gets their money back (subtracted from the overall pot)!
  • 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. The Joe Casino does not have a great business model.
  • 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%.
    Similarly, if you get a top 3 placing and also last place, the loser-consolation-prize will go to the next-best loser.
  • 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 (the play-in games) game winners are worth 1 point each.
    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 to win a few games, but the other team wins the Play-In Game and then goes on to win a few more games, I will NOT award you those points. But if you list TeamA/TeamB to win the first/second/etc round games, then the points are yours! I know that's a little weird, but it is what it is.
  • The tiebreaker is 2-part. Tiebreaker #1: If you picked the Champion, you win. Tiebreaker #2: You pick a number. Whoever is closest to the points scored by the winner of the championship game, wins the tiebreaker.
  • Special rules:
    No special rules this year, I don't want to jinx anything - I just want some good quality basketball.

All judgments by the Bracket Master and the official scorekeeper are final, and any contesting or appeals may result in an arbitrary deduction of your point total.
