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.

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.

Never better. Setting money on fire is my favorite thing. :)

FYI -  It won't let you select the teams that are playing TBD(like Texas) yet until that is determined 

I am in. Lighting money on fire faster on the basketball board than at a strip club happy hour. 

How do I pay you?

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.

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?

Wasn't there a dude named JoeyCovers? Is it him?

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.

Pretty sure that's me with Creighton today. Two hours in and I'm motherfucked. I hate March Madness. 

BYU folk (including our leader) on the ropes in game 2 of the day

Fuck everything.

i feel your pain.  it sucks to lose on day 1, especially when you are the one who set everything up.

Fuck everything.
Thanks for running this!

Yep, love running all of this so y'all can spend my money! :)

Next year will be my year.

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.

Kentucky for me I believe. Down in flames. I’ve finished second a couple times in a row. This is much better than that. 

Almost 30% of the field went tits up on day one. That provides a grim outlook for getting out of the first weekend. 

On behalf of every moron who picked Auburn, good luck to you assholes the rest of the way….

Got mine out of the way early today....now lets have chaos the rest of the day

I wanted to pick Arizona but let my son talk me into Wolfpack instead

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. 

If we make it to Friday, that's gonna be tough. Can't really trust any of the 1-2's

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.

That game was insane

I enjoyed that Clemson/AZ game if I do declare

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. 

You people touching that 2/3 seed game are loco

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
