March 15, 20241 yr We've done this the last couple of years and it's worked out well. It's definitely a fun wrinkle to a NCAA tournament pool. You pick one team each day of the tournament to win straight-up. If they win, you advance. If you lose, you're out. You can only pick a team once so you may not want to use a #1 seed on the first day. The only exception to the "one pick per day" rule is in the Elite 8 round where you will still have to pick two teams, but you can pick both the Saturday games, both the Sunday games, or one of each. Last year we had 15 participants and I hope we pass that number this year. Feel free to share this with anyone not on the board. The pool is at https://www.officefootballpool.com/pools.cfm?poolid=182847&p=2&pwd=p9nrt5. It's $50 to join, but tournamentpools.com does charge $1/entry, so please send me $51. PM me for paypal or venmo details.
March 18, 20241 yr Author The bracket is set and you can make your Thursday picks now. Make you picks and get your money in. It's going to be a fun couple of weeks.
March 18, 20241 yr FYI - It won't let you select the teams that are playing TBD(like Texas) yet until that is determined
March 18, 20241 yr I am in. Lighting money on fire faster on the basketball board than at a strip club happy hour. How do I pay you?

March 20, 20241 yr Author Alright, we've got 19 signed up already. If you haven't payed, don't forget to do that before tomorrow morning. PM me for venmo and paypal info. And if you know of anyone else that wants to participate, send the link. The more the merrier.
March 20, 20241 yr 20 entries now. I've never done a survivor pool so I am interested in discovering how I am fucking this one up.

We definitely have a bigger group than in years past. Now I need to figure out if I should change my strategy of picking a loser on Thursday morning.
March 21, 20241 yr Author We're down to three people who have not paid. I reached out to two of them, but I can't find joeyfreshwater. Does anyone know who that is?
March 21, 20241 yr Author Oh well. That's one Joey down. Gonna go hunt down Matt Leblanc and see if it's him.
March 21, 20241 yr I know I've had some bad luck with this game, but looking at the history is painful. I've went down Day1 with Kentucky/Saint Pete, and Day2 with Purdue/FDU.

March 21, 20241 yr Author Yep, love running all of this so y'all can spend my money! Next year will be my year.
March 22, 20241 yr Author Misery loves company, so welcome Kentucky pickers. Our final tally is 21 entries so a nice $1,050 payday will be coming to the winner.
March 22, 20241 yr Kentucky for me I believe. Down in flames. I’ve finished second a couple times in a row. This is much better than that.
March 22, 20241 yr Almost 30% of the field went tits up on day one. That provides a grim outlook for getting out of the first weekend.
March 22, 20241 yr On behalf of every moron who picked Auburn, good luck to you assholes the rest of the way….
March 24, 20241 yr Me right now watching ncstate:I wanted to pick Arizona but let my son talk me into Wolfpack instead
March 25, 20241 yr By the skin of my teeth, gents, by the skin of my teeth. Everyone moves forward to the second weekend who were alive at Friday’s end. Should be fun.
March 25, 20241 yr If we make it to Friday, that's gonna be tough. Can't really trust any of the 1-2's
March 25, 20241 yr Author Since it looks like this is going to last until the Elite Eight round, just a reminder on the rule we set up last year. You still need to pick one game Thursday and one game Friday for the Sweet Sixteen round. If you are still alive after that, you can pick both Elite Eight games on Saturday, both on Sunday, or one on each day. If multiple players go 2-0, they obviously all move on. If a player goes 2-0 and everyone else goes 1-1 or 0-2, the 2-0 player moves on (same if a player goes 1-1 and everyone else goes 0-2). If everyone goes 1-1 or if everyone goes 0-2, they all move on. Long story short, the player (or players) with the most wins after Sunday moves on. Let me know if you have any questions.
March 25, 20241 yr By the skin of my teeth, gents, by the skin of my teeth. Everyone moves forward to the second weekend who were alive at Friday’s end. Should be fun. That game was insane
March 29, 20241 yr Author I'll admit that I was a little mad about being eliminated in the FIRST FUCKING GAME OF THE FUCKING TOURNAMENT. SERIOUSLY, I BARELY MADE IT PAST LUNCH. But I've calmed down now and I'm enjoying watching y'all sweat it out.
March 29, 20241 yr You should all pick Marquette tomorrow. Stone cold lock. I’m mad I already used them.
March 29, 20241 yr You should all pick Marquette tomorrow. Stone cold lock. I’m mad I already used them. Speaking of loco I am highly considering it cause if they win I am going to win this thing with who I would have left lol
