Yahoo College Tournament Pick 'Em

Whee · 03-06-2009, 09:50 PM

Ok gang, I started a group on yahoo and thought we could do a little wager for the tourney.

5 stick buy in. Everyone sends sticks to winner at the conclusion of the tourney.

Just go to Yahoo and sign up for Tourney Pick 'em 09.

I'll play as well. I submit a bracket every year for fun, might as well do it for cigars.

That was my thought exactly. Missed last year with no internet at tourney time, so i have to make up for it this year.

Thought I would clarify rules a bit.

At end of tourney, winner will PM addy to all participants. Participants will have one week to mail out winnings. Winner agrees to post list of participants and to update list when winnings arrive.

Communication is the key fellas. If you're gonna be late, send a note.

If you sign up and need to bail out, I will allow this until the Wednesday before the start of the tourney. After that, if you're in, you're in.

If you don;t know how it works there on Yahoo, they will post up brackets usually no later than 3/16 (the day after selelction Sunday). You go in and you will see each regions brackets. Pick your winners all the way through to the final four. Then you go to the final four bracket and pick it out and you're done.

You get one crack at picking the winners, once the tourney has started...

.

As I won't have a dog in this race (see Indiana's worst season in school history), good luck to all.

Bumpity bump bump

Whee · 03-10-2009, 12:18 AM

'Nuther bump.

Only 10 days to go before the tourney starts!

awsmith4 · 03-10-2009, 01:02 AM

I'll play

smitdavi · 03-10-2009, 07:50 AM

I'm in.

Just a thought. Since there is usually a lot of people that play you might think about paying 2nd and 3rd too, Just a thought

Good idea.

Can't check it here at work..(they'll let me surf this board, but I cant check fantasy leagues

.) We should have 5 now. Let's see how it progresses and we can work out a system for that.

Whee · 03-12-2009, 12:12 PM

One week to go bump.

Last I checked we had 5 members...plenty of room left.

SmokeyJoe · 03-13-2009, 12:32 AM

Hope we get more folks to play... should be a lot of fun.

Whee · 03-13-2009, 12:39 AM

Still sitting at 5, but it'll still be fun. Especially if we get some games like tonight's,

cle_smoker · 03-13-2009, 07:11 AM

I'm really surprised more folks haven't signed up.

Was that UConn-Cuse game ridiculous or what?

Whee · 03-13-2009, 01:53 PM

Come on you lazy bums!!

After the 6OT thriller last night (or this morning) how can you not be excited for the tourney to start.

Less than a week to get signed up!

smitdavi · 03-15-2009, 09:05 AM

We'll get more people to sign up. We had a ton of people last year when I did it. They will all join up tonight when the brackets come out

Whee · 03-15-2009, 09:32 AM

I figured. I missed last year while on internet withdrawal.

BryanB · 03-15-2009, 03:42 PM

i'm in. should be interesting.
