First game has tipped. Too late to enter now . Thanks to those that signed up. We got about 460 entries


We are back!!! We have gone to a Google form for entry and a Google Sheet will go out Thursday that you can check to see results. The Google form is linked at the bottom to enter.

Good news- We won't have to pay a large hosting fee like we did in the past for the site.
Bad news- once you submit, you can't change your picks. So keep that in mind. No exceptions Also you wont get immediate updates, but I will try to update it as quickly as I can.

Rules
$20 per entry. You may enter up to 6 times
Deadline to enter- 11:15 am central Thursday. No exceptions. Any entries time stamped after that will be ignored.
Payment needs to be received by 12:00pm central Thursday

Pick 8 teams.
Each time one of your teams wins you get points equal to their seed number. So for every game Duke (1 seed) wins you get 1 point. For every game Norfolk State (16 seed) wins you get 16 points.
Entries with most points wins. No tiebreakers, ties will split prizes.
*Play in games don't count (if you select a team in the play-in game you get both the teams and the one that advances to round of 64 will count towards your score)
**If you pick a team twice in a single entry you will get 0 points for the second one. So be careful and make sure you are picking 8 different teams.
***Again, once you submit your picks, you can't change them. No exceptions.


Payment
$20 per entry (can enter up to 6 times)
Don't mention march madness contest or anything like that with your payment. They don't want people using their platform for pools. Don't select payment for services or good as I will then try to get taxed and your full payment wont go to the pool.
No note needs to be mentioned on your payment, unless your first and last name on your entry is different than the name on your paypal or venmo (that info can help me match up your payment to entry).
Venmo- Marc-Davidson
Paypal- marcedavidson@gmail.com
last 4 of phone number is 1759

Prizes
1st-5th will for sure win.
Depending on how many entries we might expand it to 8. Last year top 8 won as we had over 500 entries.

Lots of volunteers. I honestly don't know if the person who ultimately ended up helping me is a TexAgs poster and if so what his user name is. I just know his real name.

Might be the most difficult year to pick these since I joined in a few years ago. My level of conviction is quite low.

Ill send out a google sheet with all the entries tomorrow which will be the standings and you can access that doc to see updates. Be patient with my as I might not get it out for a while tomorrow. Work has kicked my butt this week and havent even started verifying who has paid and who has not. And be patient with me updating results throughout the day.

Still have until 11:15 am central tomorrow to enter. Entries are date and time stamped so any after that will not count. You have until 12:00pm central to pay tomorrow.

Good luck.

You have about one hour left (11:15 am central) to enter. And you have until 12:00 central to pay.
I will be sending out the sheet with all the entries around lunch/early afternoon. You can continue to check that sheet to see updated standings.

He said he would send out a link to a spreadsheet this afternoon to track results. He said it might be a little later.

I can't confirm this isn't true from any year. I don't know any of these people that have supposedly won in real life.

Supposedly EliteZags was in the money one year and I've met him, but he could be in on it.

No Tesla. But I did just buy a sweet new e-bike. Thanks guys. It was a long con. I established trust for the last 20+ years and then pulled you rug out from under you.

I'm waiting for the guy who created the doc to help with the standings page. I have all the entries that automatically collected them from the Google form, but he has to pull them over to the standing page and need the last 100 or so entries to move over. So waiting on him. I didn't want to just copy and past and possibly screw something up.
