I'm running a bracketology website at SchwampBlog.com. I'm a part of bracketmatrix.com, which is a database of bracketologists. Hopefully I do better than last year (106th out of 144).
POSTING AN OPEN INVITATION TO A $20 BRACKET POOL! Last year we had nearly 30 entries! Url = http://www.poolhost.com/ Pool ID = jimbospool P-word = champdoug Must pay entry fee of $20 by PayPal ONLY! by Thursday, March 16, 2017 @ 9:15 am PST or your bracket will be deleted & void. Send payments to: jimthebeav@hotmail.com Via PayPal $20.88 (*$0.88 transaction fee for electronic payments*) NOTE: Be sure to let me know your bracket name so that I can keep an accurate track of all pool funds. _______________________________________________________ SCORING: --> Round of 64 = 1pt --> Round of 32 = 2pts --> Sweet 16 = 4pts --> Elite 8 = 8pts --> Final 4 = 16pts --> Championship = 32pts ********************************************************************************************** IMPORTANT NOTE: THE FIRST ROUND GAME IS WORTH 1 POINT PLUS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE SEEDS -- AKA THE "UPSET BONUS" ********************************************************************************************** (ex; 10 seed beats a 7 seed = 4 total points) _______________________________________________________ PAYOUTS: IF 20 OR MORE PLAYERS --> 1st Place = 65% --> 2nd Place = 20% --> 3rd Place = 10% --> 4th Place = 5% TIE-BREAK: --> 1. Total score of final game --> 2. Number of total correct picks --> 3. Most upset points in first round --> 4. Rock, Paper, Scissors - Best of 3
So 4 points if you pick the 10, 1 point if you pick the 7? It makes no sense to pick any 7s them because 10s win 40% of the time and the reward is 4 times as much.
...you can fill out your bracket however you want! Good news too, we payout instantly @BonesJones, no BS slacking!
I didn't slack on running the league and making it fun, did I? I might just join and take advantage of the system!

Would be awesome to get last years turnout. I'm trying to remember who else was in it last year so that I can tag them. Yahoo says there were 25 people last year but I can't find a list of names.
See this thread and you may get some ideas on who to tag: http://www.sportstwo.com/threads/ncaa-ripcitytwo-bracket.297481/
Good call. There is no data on yahoo about last year's bracket. It all just disappears like a fart in the wind.
