Will figure that out once entries are closed and let everyone know then. I don’t even know how much prize money will be in other than if we get to 100 entries we will give away $1000. If there’s 100 entries I imagine we’d pay multiple places. Gold silver and bronze probably.

March 16, 20223 yr Yeah theoretically the ones who didn’t follow the guideline disadvantaged themselves slightly by having their tiebreaker not be one of their 8 favorites.

Damn. I didn't think about the cats. In my defense, my wife and son do pay and submit entries to all Surly contests.
March 16, 20223 yr Popular Post Because I am a giant dork and like playing with spreadsheets, I've made a public Google Sheets doc to simplify entry and result monitoring. I believe I have everyone's entry entered, at least as of this post, with two caveats: 1) I only am tracking by user name, so for those users who have submitted multiple brackets they are just listed under a single user name. If that user wins, up to them to allocate correctly. 2) I didn't bother tracking tie-breaker. In case that is relevant @Wulaw Horn or @Scipio can determine that by just looking at this thread. Here is a link to the document: Surly 2022 March Madness - Free Money Contest Right now the only fields that should be editable are the username and teams fields (columns B and C on the "Enter Picks Here" tab - please feel free to double-check that there was no error in entry. I had to clean the data some to make sure team names were consistent and it's always possible an error crept in. Also ignore the results that are already in - that was just for testing purposes, I'll clear that Thursday morning. At that point I'll also lock down the user entry fields. @Wulaw Horn can then easily post the top performing teams as well as teams with most potential points.

March 17, 20223 yr All entries are now in as of this post. We have 58 entries so far - come on people, I want some of @Wulaw Horn's filthy mortgage money, let's pump that to 100! Note: there are three teams that are on least half of all of the brackets submitted so far. There are also three teams that are on exactly one submitted bracket. Pickers of TCU, Duke, and Montana St - feel proud of yourselves for bucking the trend.
March 17, 20223 yr Author We are paying money either way, just 100 entries get us to the magical $1,000.
