Sweet 16 Starts

The Sweet 16 is getting underway soon. Each night (or next morning) I will update the Player Scenarios report and once the Final Four is set, I'll also do the Tournament Scenarios reports.

Tournament Rules

Tournament Entry is $10. This year all payments should come directly to Spencer. All payments must be made prior to the start of games!!! I have spent too much of the pool trying to collect all of the entry fees. Again, there are so many ways to send money now that there is no excuse to not be paid before the games start.

PLEASE DO NOT MENTION BRACKET, NCAA, TOURNAMENT, POOL, ETC. in any comments for your payment.

You have any number of ways to pay me:

In all cases, if there are any transfer fees, make sure you set it up so that you are responsible for them. I have only included a fee with the credit card purchase.

Multiple entries are also perfectly allowed. Please use the following format for entries:

Scoring is as follows:

Round points x Seed

Round points are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32. This keeps the pool very interesting and rewards correct upset picks.

Tournament Prizes

Remember, for this year, as we are testing out the 2nd Chance portion of the pool, all prizes still will be for the main pool only.
