UPDATE 3/20:
Happy 1st day of spring! Two big updates for today...
1) The second chance pool is open. Fill out the bracket for the remaining 16 teams. $1/entry, winner take all. See the rules for detailed scoring.
2) 'Best Finish' report is available for the main pool. Here's how you read it (using mine as a sample):

Gordon, Sam 3 152 164t 40 129t 40 N Carolina, Arizona, Wisconsin, Kansas, Baylor, Gonzaga, Michigan, Kentucky & Final Game Pts Score: 157-+
(+29 other combinations)

The best I can finish is 3rd with 152 points.
The worst I can finish is tied for 164 with 40 points.
I'm currently tied for 129 with 40 points.
To get my best possible finish, I need N Carolina to beat Arizona in the Championship Game, Wisconsin and Kansas to make the Final 4, Baylor, Gonzaga, Michigan, and Kentucky to make the Elite 8. The Tie breaker needs to be 157 or more. There are 29 other combinations that will work. There are a total of 32,768 combinatins at this point.

ORIGINAL WELCOME 3/12:
For any "first-timers" to my pool, it's very easy. You fill out a complete bracket online, including the TOTAL points in the championship game.
Then, sit back and watch the Tournament. You'll get points for every correct team you pick to advance.
Come back to this page as often as you like to check your standing.
Returning players, everything works just like past years.
At the bottom of the entry screen, you have the option to have an html version of your picks emailed to you.
I will also email out pdf versions of everyone's picks once the tournament starts.
Entry fee for the Main Pool is again $5 ($5.25 for Credit Card users) and $1 ($1.25 for Credit Card) for the 2nd Chance Pool.
Click one of the tabs above to take you wherever you need to go.
KET Employees: Anna Gordon will accept your entry fee (make sure she writes down you paid ;) ). I will pick it up at close of business on Friday.
If you want to pay via credit card, check the box for that when you do your entry and I'll send you an electronic invoice.
I hope everyone enjoys the pool, and please let me know if you have any questions or problems.
Sam
