$25 entry fee.  35 or fewer entries = 75/25 split between 1st and second, 36 or more entries = 70/20/10 split between the top 3.

i can take payments via venmo, paypal (prefer those two the most), cash app, and apple pay.  just pm me with your preferred method of payment.

got payments from both of you.

I don't spend my money on basketball brackets. Instead I use it for much more secure investments, like powerball. But I always do the 25 brackets on ESPN. I always do a few on my own, with one where Texas wins, and then one with total chaos, but mostly I just use the auto fill smart option. One of those came up with Marquette winning it all. I was like, yup, that's the one. Can't think of a better way for the basketball gods to fuck Texas some more. 

In for 2, jfc at you degenerates putting in 4.

In. BigOrange, you gonna do my "pick a team per seed line" contest? If so, we can just mark each other paid since both $25?

sounds like a plan to me!

folks gotta remember to label their team with a $ if they're playing for money. i see some names on the list that i believe are in the $25 pool but who haven't labeled their entry as such. 

Edited by shadow_operative

I thought we had moved on from that and that every entry is presumed paid for money. Someone can set up a free bracket if desired?

ah, excellent. hoping to get a big turnout like we used to. i remember when we'd have close to 100 people in this thing. the pot used to get very big.

anyone who doesn't pay will be purged when i get back to my office next week and reconcile my spreadsheet vs the names in the contest on espn.com.  i don't do free shit.

I’ll be in. Waiting for the last game to end. Like that’s gonna make a shit for me. 
 

let me go find a cash machine…

This whole time I thought you were SouthAustin's Mom's sock, but I guess I was wrong.

ok this thing really blew up while i was sleeping.  it will definitely be next week when i'm back in the office before i verify that everyone in the contest has paid.  i think i have responded to every pm i got.  if i've "liked" your payment on venmo, you are accounted for on my spreadsheet.

you have not

alright i'm all paid up. As soon as i hit submit on both brackets i instantly regretted this shit

I never feel good about mine.  But my approach has been "do it, don't think about it, go with your gut" this week because a) I don't have time to assess every matchup and read KenPom, BPI, etc. and b) whatever I do doesn't matter, because my Final 4 will be wrecked by the end of tomorrow, I'm sure.

"Paid? Well let me see...I have no idea of what that means. I know what you think it means sonny. To me its just a made up word. A politician's word, so young Surlies like yourself can wear a t-shirt and flipflops and have a job. What do you really want to know? Am I sorry for what I did? There is not a day goes by that I don't feel regret. Not because I'm in here but because you think I should. I look back at the ways I was back then...a young stupid kid who submitted that terrible bracket. I want to talk to him. Try to talk some sense into him. Tell him the way things are...but I can't. That kid is long gone and this old man is all that is left. I have to live with that. Paid is just a bullshit word. So you go ahead and stamp your forms sonny and stop wasting my time."

Here we go. I expect my bracket to be busted by about 3pm today.
