Pick 8 teams. Each time one of your teams wins you get points equal to their seeding. So A&M gets 10 points for every game they win. The most points wins in the end.

$20 per entry. You can enter up to 6 times.
You don't pay me. We are using LeagueSafe to collect the money and distribute winnings

Full rules at the site linked above.

Last year we had 463 entries.

Every year I know I shouldn't enter this because I'll never win… but maybe this year is the year!

We have 112 entries so far. Wed and Thur morning are always the heaviest days as far as signups, so based on years past and the amount of signups we usually have in the last 24 hours, we should have 300 entries easily.

Lies! Fake news! I was up there with the plebs too. That's how I had such a good angle on Mgbako getting run down by that Sasquatch.

So I paid before this message, but hadn't done my picks yet. I just made my picks and it is still giving me the option to pay. Do you know if the payments on Sunday were good? It's still showing $21 from "League Safe MINNEAPOLIS" on my credit card statement, so I would hope so.

Payments were always good. So if you paid Sunday you are good. There is no direct connection between the site and the payment site so its going to say don't forget to pay when you enter even if you paid first.

Hope that helps.

This is last time I am bumping this. Deadline to enter is 11:15 tomorrow morning. Deadline to pay is 11:59pm Thursday.

We will have over 400 entries and probably close to 500 than 400 if I had to predict how the final hours will go with a flurry of entries.

Well that was weird. I think I may have inserted the same group thrice, once under Johnny Blaze, and once under my real name.

Payment system was fine on the 16th for my initial. Wonky tonight. So I may have paid for 2, or thrice for the latter in which I'll just have to hope it hits for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. It was quite the wild card.

PM me Marc with any questions before kicking please and thanks for running this as usual. I know what a beating it can be.

This looks like fun! A bit more challenging than the typical bracket. Got my entries in!
