*** NEW SINCE 2025 ***
Please choose either the Men's tournament bracket OR the Women's tournament bracket (but not both), and make your picks.
You can switch tournaments between pick sheets. I'll score your pick sheets the same REGARDLESS OF TOURNAMENT. Scores accrue the same.
The standard rules:
- NO WHINING!
Pick 2 rounds at a time, with re-picking occuring every 2 rounds. Points are 1,2,4,8,16,32 for each and succeeding rounds (1st round = 1, next round = 2, etc.)
*** Upset Points**: only applies for the first two pick sheets. Upset points are worth double the points for that round.
- Round 1 - Any correct pick of seed #11 or higher gets bonus points.
- Round 2 – Any correct pick of seed #7 or higher gets bonus points.
- Round 3 -- Any correct pick with of a difference in seeding >4 where the underdog wins gets bonus points.
- Round 4 -- Any correct pick with a difference in seeding >4 where the underdog wins gets bonus points
- Pot will be split:
- 5% Round 1/2 leader
- 10% Round 3/4 leader
- 65% Overall Leader
- 10% Overall Runner-up
- 5% Overall 2nd Runner-up
- 5% Overall Booby (Overall last)
- If you do not submit your picks by the deadline, you will receive 0 points for any incomplete pick of that round and you will not be eligible for the Booby prize.
- Ties split Round 1/2 leader prize and Round 3/4 leader prize.
- Poolboy reserves the right to refund a player's donation if circumstances unfairly penalizes the player.
- Remember Rule 1!
Only one entry per "real" person! Given the unique format of this pool, having more than one entry gives those people an unfair advantage. I'm also trusting couples won't collude.
This year, the donation will be $10. You can send money to me with paypal and my email address:shungc@gmail.com
