2016 March Madness Pool

[Jersey Mike]

Where are my usual suspects at?

Back at it again! It's my favorite time of year: Christmas March Madness is upon us!


The Basics:
30 points each to enter. PM me for link to join & details.
If we get over 30 people, then there will be payouts to the top 5 finishers.
Deadline to make your bracket is Mar 17 12:15pm EDT. DONT WAIT UNTIL LAST MINUTE! You can begin making your picks & changes after March 13.
In the event of ties, we'll first use the standard Yahoo tie-breaker (Final Score of the championship game) & then defer to who submitted their Entry Points sooner. Get your points in!
If you finish worse than either FirstBeer or WSex, you're permanently shamed & disallowed from joining any future pools. There's just no excuse for being that bad.


Any questions? Just feel free to PM me or to ask here.


Your favorite Commissioner,
Mike

I'll PM you and the others who've since joined. I think the unofficial count right now is about 25 or so, and slowly climbing. BLS has been awfully quiet though...

Brackets are now open! Brackets will close & be locked-in on March 17 12:15pm EDT.

T-Minus 1 hour. NJFBOA folk are all set. Here's a friendly reminder for any of you guys who need to make last minute tweaks before things lock up!

Chris Sullivan:

An ace with 19/20, including big upsets.

But MI state? Ouch.

[Mike]

Ok then

[Jersey Mike]

Nah, it's cool; I wanted to be knocked out in the 1st Round.

Northern Iowa? Hawaii? Middle Tennessee State? Who are these ****ers? Yes, I'm bitter. :lol:

All the anarchy

1. Shame on Bax for turning his back on Syracuse. Serves him right.
2. Well this sucks :lol: But damn, the next 3 games are going to be interesting. I'm guessing everyone leading at the moment has to be in the "Anti-UNC" camp, right?
3. Still missing points from a couple of folks, but final numbers will more-or-less be as follows:

1st: 350
2nd: 250
3rd: 150
4th: 100
5th: 50
6th: 30


Enjoy your heartbreak. I'm rooting for WBT now :lol:

[Jersey Mike]

Dude. Dooooooood. What a finish.

Bill, I literally jumped out of bed and ran in a circle :lol: I'm not even ashamed to say that--that's how good of a finish it was.
This championship game will go down aso one of the most memorable basketball (pro or collegiate) games I've ever seen; Up there with the Syracuse/UConn 6-overtime game, & the Larry Johnson 4-Point play back in the late 90s.

Congrats on the win, Bill! Glad all the years of waiting paid off! :lol:

I picked the teams based on where I would rather live.
...
Arizona was only picked because I didnt know the other team name, and Arizona is an open carry state

Still the best reason I've ever heard :rofl: These thread need you, James :lol:

[PolarBear]

I already lost out on a pick at work, $25 a head 8 of us, final 16 names picked out of a hat. I was against myself and got eliminated in the elite 8

Stupid friggin basketball....
