I know nothing about college basketball.  IN.

Should probably make a bracket for the women's tournament as well.  Don't want to disappoint the hippos.

didnt we do a $10 tournament last year, and whoever got last place got their money back or something?

I remember because I think matty beat me out for that spot and I want revenge

Title: Re: March Madness Tournament
Post by: Sgt PSN on March 15, 2010, 02:28:01 PM
why would the loser get his $10 back?  either winner take all or 2nd place gets 10 back, winner takes the rest.

the only reward a person should ever get for coming in last place is a swift kick in the nuts. 
Title: Re: March Madness Tournament
Post by: reese125 on March 15, 2010, 07:30:23 PM
yeah, the concept was cool and different because you dont go into the thing thinking youre going to pick dead losers, but Im all for the fact that if you're lucky enough to select that many winners and be right behind the guy in first...keep your 10

last place will forever suck and should never be rewarded again

Title: Re: March Madness Tournament
Post by: PhillyPhanInDC on March 15, 2010, 08:29:13 PM
Fine. First gets all minus the ten from the guy in second.
Title: Re: March Madness Tournament

after much deliberation i believe that the best way to run this thing is to do it the same as last year by "rewarding" the losing player with his $10 back.

anyone trying to make this a $5 entry winner take all league...having nothing to play for sucks harder than mds

at the end of the year the winner just post his address and the rest send him a five piece

No one responded.


you posted the same question in the league thread, and 5 (maybe 6) people, including myself, said they'd be willing to do it, and one said he wouldn't. I also remember there being a lot of confusion at the end of the year as if we ever said it was gonna be for the 5 or not.

Long story short, eat shtein and die.

Yeah.  I'm pretty sure I never got money from you.  In order, I got Phatty's cash money wrapped in work stationary, Reese sent a check, Phreak sent cash I think (2 5s?), rjs sent ten ones, SunMo sent a fancy printed check, and PPinDC sent a money order.

I have to admit I did finally throw away all the envelopes after I was persuaded not to use the addresses for purposes of domestic terrorism.

If you actually sent it, it did not arrive. 

Speaking of the postman, I had to send a check to my sister in law last week...money for my old lady's birthday present.  I forgot to put a stamp on it.  She got the envelope anyway.
