5th Annual March Madness Walker Pool

I bet I finish in the bottom 5 again...anyone wanna take that bet?...

i'd probably take that bet if you said you'd finish in the bottom 2.

now that it is march, i'm going to be starting up the pool again. Unless i'm mistaken, the 5th of march is selection sunday, which means the first official game of our pool will begin the next thursday, the 10th. this is when all the completed brackets and entry money must be turned in.

For a full breakdown of all the rules, follow this link - March Madness Pool Rules

I believe, although I haven't decided on this yet, I will be accepting payment through paypal this year. Because of paypal's fees and whatnot, I will probably require an additional 50 cents per entry fee. this will cover my costs. i doubt anyone will use it, as either I or one of my brothers will see everyone who will enter the pool.

You can post here with any questions or comments.

I don't think I'm gonna this year. I suck.

but you beat five people last year, and almost beat me....you beat wes and kirk both.

you've got to enter....if nothing else, you can turn in a bracket with no money....(of course, you would not be eligible for prize money if you did have a good year)

my roommate wants in...I'll direct her to this post when the time comes

i will be updating my website with the most recent information this evening..

I'm still undecided if i'm going to allow people to login and setup their own brackets....i will still have to have the money, or have the money in a trusted friends hand by tipoff thursday.

i will be including at least two or three different brackets in different formats for download and printing by saturday evening (after the brackets have been determined)

i'll probably been in little rock/north little rock on tuesday evening so i will be able to pickup brackets, money and anything else while i'm in town. anyone who is interested, i will be contacting by at least tuesday.

I have updated the March Madness page on my website. it contains the most recent information, as well as links to several sources to download and/or print out a bracket.

I'll post updated scores at the top of the page as games are completed starting Thursday morning.

We are in full swing. I've got cable run into my office temporarily so I will be able to watch every game as it happens (as long as cbs is showing it)

Games start in 58 minutes....

Final four
Duke
N.CAROLINA
LOUSVILLE
ILINOIS

Butttt gotta look at ARIZONA AND KENTUCKY ALSO

Hell OSU wins it all. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

way to go out on a limb...

So much for OSU.....LOL

Can't believe Duke lost (well actually any team could win it) That's what makes it March madness [img]tongue.gif[/img]

well, as you can see from the scores, and the winning brackets, no one did very well this year....

i guess there is always next year.

and i've got to do something about getting people's money....right now i'm out about 20 bucks i think.

Winners are posted....money will be paid out in the upcoming week. congratulations to everyone...

Tarheels win...Tarheels win....

woohoo! That was fun. You should do it again next year [img]tongue.gif[/img]

yea...i'll think about it...

i also might extend it to the NCAA Women's Tournament as well as the NIT, and NCAA Division 2 and 3 for men and women's....

i think that will be fun too.
