Yeah I am bringing it back even though it is a beating managing it, but it's also a ton of fun even though I suck at it. Been doing this since at least 2005.
It's not a fill out a bracket contest, it is very different and people seem to enjoy the format.

Rules
Pick any 8 teams.
Each time one of your teams wins a game you get points equal to their seed.
So if you pick a #1 seed, each time they win a game you get 1 point.
If you pick a 15 seed, each game they win you get 15 points.
Whoever has the most points in the end wins (no tiebreakers, pot will be split).
*Play-in games DO NOT count towards point totals.

$20 per entry (max 8 entries). Note, the site charges me per entry.
Do not mention March Madness or Contest or anything like that with your payment as Venmo and PayPal have strict rules about gambling. This is a fundraiser
Venmo- @Marc-Davidson
PayPal- marcedavidson@gmail.com
MAKE SURE YOU SELECT PAY TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY if you use PayPal or it will be refunded.

The deadline to enter is 11:15AM central on Thursday. If you don't pay by noon on Thursday your entry will be removed. No exceptions. If you send your money after 12:01 central pm I will refund it.

At least 1st-5th will get paid out. Depending on entries that might be expanded. Will have that info finalized by Thursday mid day

Appreciate you doing this. It's always fun and the answer is no I've never won a dime but it won't stop me from trying

Marc data harvesting for MLM direct sales opportunities, beware!



Kidding aside, I have a vague memory of playing this format - easy and fun. Thanks for setting this up.

It is completely dependent on how the tournament goes. If it's a year with a lot of upsets the scoring is higher. If it's a lot of chalk then it's much lower. So one year it could be 90 and another year 130.

I'm still salty after what happened to Memphis by the refs last year costing me winning the whole thing.

Only $4,915. Not sure we will have close to as many entries this year, but Wed morning always is fast and furious with signups and the busiest day.
