Tournament Rules

Tournament Entry is $10. For those working for IMPAC, please pay Spencer G. Stanton directly (or use inter-office mail). For all others, please contact me to arrange payment.

If you are going to pay using PayPal, please add 60 cents (for a total of $10.60 per entry). PayPal charges me that amount for the service of accepting money so to keep the prizes even please add the additional amount. It really isn't much more than the cost of a stamp if you are mailing me your entry.

Multiple entries are also perfectly allowed. Just please add a number to the end of your name to signify multiple entries so I don't have to ask if you are replacing your original picks.

Scoring is as follows

Round points x Seed

Round points are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 (and then multiply by the seed) This keeps the pool very interesting and rewards correct upset picks.

Tournament Prizes

The prizes are as follows based on 70 (1 person with 2 entries did not pay and I have adjusted the table accordingly) entries:

70% of pool amount will go to first place = $490
20% will go to second place = $140
10% will go to third place = $70

Once the tournament is complete I will arrange payment with the winners.
