Still plenty of time to get in guys! We need more players--the more the merrier, so they say!

Mountaineer1999 03-16-2016 05:26 PM

OK I payed... its really no more than an extra $10 to the eventual winner as I suck at this

just paid and joined the bracket

slidekellyslide 03-16-2016 09:31 PM

Joined and paid via paypal. I don't recall who had won the Chase trophy the year before Brian. They were required to send the card to him. I know the year I won I only got to hold onto the Chase card for about a week because the previous winner lost it and later found it.

The winner is also supposed to run the tournament the following year. I ran it last year because IIRC we couldn't get hold of the previous winner. I'm sure all of this is in the archives somewhere. :D

I am not ever (personally) a sports-watching-pool person but is the entry deadline this morning?

jkray25 03-17-2016 07:16 AM

The brackets lock at 12:15 EST, best to have them in by noon. First game starts at 12:15 though

Very good...we can stick this to the top until after lunch and the bracket closes, so maybe a few more members will see it and hop in. Good luck to all..

Jacob, I sent you a pm a bit ago. I filled one out and paid w/ paypal. Thanks!

Joshwesley 03-17-2016 11:56 AM

Good turnout!

I'm going to immediately take my winnings and buy a card from a net54 member! :p

Joshwesley 03-19-2016 07:13 AM

Holy crap

I said this was the most difficult bracket I've ever filled out because there are no great teams this year and are potentially 10-15 teams that could win if..

It's way worse than I thought lol

This could be the year a mid major wins the natty.

I dunno, seemed pretty easy to me :D

(And now comes the part where I lose every game in the next round.)

Joshwesley 03-19-2016 02:59 PM

You're absolutely killing it

jkray25 03-20-2016 08:25 AM

Guys, currently only 14 ppl have paid. There are 22 in the pool.

If you haven't paid please be sure to send $10 to my PayPal at jkray25@yahoo.com

Thanks and hope your brackets aren't too busted!

jkray25 03-25-2016 08:19 AM

Update, again we have 22 players in the pool with 16 ppl having paid.

If you have not paid and win the bracket you will not receive the cash prize.

Please send payment to jkray25@yahoo.com in the amount of $10.

Thanks

Is it too late to get in? I have some bold choices for the first few rounds.

darwinbulldog 03-25-2016 09:15 AM

I'm not in it, but it strikes me as unfair for people to be allowed to pay late after they've had a chance to collect more information about their chances of winning the prize. I can see waiting until the field of 68 is down to 64, but anything after that is just cheating, no?

Yeah... that's pretty jacked up....

People that didn't have their money in by the start of the tournament should have had their brackets disqualified.

glchen 03-25-2016 10:28 AM

I think the ESPN usernames of the nonpayers should be listed. Sometimes you just forget you hadn't paid yet or registered. I picked Michigan State to win it all but I still paid after they lost in the first round.

Bliggity 03-25-2016 10:43 AM

As the current leader, I'm really gonna need all you delinquents to go ahead and get your money paid up, mkay?

Unfair yes, anything that can be done about it? No not really, aside from not paying out to said person if they do indeed win.

Everyone was well aware of the amount and the date the contest started. There are those who payed despite not having a chance and I thank those people for that.

Others may have forgot, true, and I can post a list of who all has paid later this evening.

As for those who didn't pay and who don't pay...well as I said earlier, not much we can do.

As a diehard Duke fan who needed UNC to lose to win the bracket pool, that was pretty much the best 4.7 seconds of my life.

Cheaters never prosper!

That is all. :D:D:D

Joshwesley 04-04-2016 09:45 PM

As I march madness enthusiast....
I don't want to get caught up in the moment and hyperbolize...


That's gotta be an all time top 5 game and I don't know where the Marcus Paige shot and the last shot from the Villanova kid ranks but it's way up there

Congrats to biggity

That was a wild tournament, hate that it's over

jkray25 04-05-2016 04:47 AM
