The problem remains that there are only 4 of us right now.  Need more participants.

And now that I think of it, I guess people will just have to trust me on the random drawing of teams.

couldnt you pre draw it by taking an empty bracket and assigning random numbers to the 64 different spots on the sheet

it actually makes a huge difference.  because that would give people time to plan their strategy.  like some times people save up all of their money for a certain few teams, and if they don't come up until towards the end, people get bargains on some otherwise good teams early on.  like last year one of the number one teams came up 2nd to last and their were two dudes saving up points to get them.  basically an all-in type of deal, so even though the guy had like 200 points left, he got outbid by the guy with 215.   

it's hard to explain but it matters.

No offense, but I already have enough of my money riding on an NCAA butter joint with your friends.

[phattymatty]

4 more people won't be a problem at all.

I'm still sticking by my earlier assessment that anyone who cares is an idiot.

1st round win $6
2nd round win $8
3rd round win $10
4th round win $12
semi-final win $16
final win         $16

i dont get this dont the winnings far surpass what you pay into the pot

no, it's comes out, basically you're putting $62 in the pot.  if not a single of of your teams wins a game, you lose $62.   8 x 62 = 496

1st round win $6  32 teams x 6 = 192
2nd round win $8  16 teams x 8 = 128
3rd round win $10  8 teams x 10 = 80
4th round win $12  4 teams x 12 = 48
semi-final win $16  2 teams x 16 = 32
final win         $16  1 team x 16 = 16

496 bucks.

im a dope

you could have told me that 5 minutes sooner.

[ice grillin you]

sorry....i didnt realize my ignorance until 05:04:49

i was counting games in each round not winners

[phattymatty]

and the amounts can basically be anything, if we want the overall winner to get $32, which kind of makes sense, then the ante gets raised by $2 a person.  i just used our scoring from last year but now that mo brought it up it would make sense.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I was willing to risk $62, but $64?!?  NO!

[phattymatty]

thats what i figured.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

But seriously... It's fair that the final game winner gets $32, so let's do that.

[rjs246]

Agreed.
