Tournament Rules

Tournament Entry is $20. 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.

I have also removed the Credit Card option as that has become hardly used over the last few years. If that is your only way to pay, please reach out and we can still make arrangements.

You have any number of ways to pay me:

• Venmo (PREFERRED) - My username is @Boilers2000 and you can send it that way.
  • You can use 1663 for the last four since Venmo prefers that as an extra check.
• Cash App (PREFERRED) - My username is $Boilers2000 for sending through Cash App.
• Pay Pal - I will accept Pay Pal, please use tourney - at - stantonfamilyonline.com (actual e-mail address) for the account.
• Cash - If you live near me, you can pay me in cash.
• Zelle - I will accept direct Zelle payments, but please reach out to use this option
• Other - If prior arrangements are made, you can inquire about other options. Whether that be check or directly from your bank (Zelle), etc. The main thing will be making those arrangments in advance and not after the games have started.

In all cases, if there are any transfer fees, make sure you set it up so that you are responsible for them.

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

• Lastname, Firstname (1)
• Lastname, Firstname (2)
• ...

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.
