2024 March Madness Bracket Pools
I'm back again to run the pool this year. I will escrow the money for the pools and am collecting zero fees for doing so.
Inflation is up, Stocks are at all time highs, I think we can bump up the entry fees a bit this year. One $75 Pool and One $300 Pool.
Rules
I'm going to run through Yahoo with the same scoring system as we've always used (2-3-5-7-11-15). Allowing a max of 4 brackets per person in the $75 and 3 brackets per person in the $300. Payouts will be determined by number of entrants, probably paying out around 3-5% of the entries depending on how many people enter. All brackets must be paid for by Noon Eastern on Thursday. Any Brackets that are not paid for by noon will be declared ineligible. If you send $$ after noon on Friday, your bracket will be disqualified and your money will be returned.
All entries must follow the format of Bracket Name = "2p2name" (1 through 3)
So for my 3 brackets in the Yahoo site, it's
Zimmer4141 (1)
Zimmer4141 (2)
Zimmer4141 (3)
Payment
This is a cash only pool. I'm not a crypto guy, I don't accept BTC or other crypto as payment. There are 2 ways to pay me.
Paypal or Zelle. That's it. I refuse to use Venmo after having issues with them two years ago.
Put your 2p2 name and your 2p2 name only in the memo line. Do not put anything related to gambling, madness, basketball, any of that. Don't be an idiot.
Entering
Send me a PM if you're interested. I will send you a Google Form to fill out, the link to the Yahoo pool with password, and my Payment Information.
This will immensely help me track payments and entries. I'm working a full time job and have a 2 year old at home, so I'd greatly appreciate if you make this as easy as possible on me.
Please post in this thread after you've submitted your payments and brackets and we will track entries in this thread as a double check to make sure everything's squared away.
Happy bracketing!
Entered 1 in the $300. Still open to additional side bets.
Shipped PayPal for 1 shot in the $300 LFG
I have every confidence in the world I am the only 300 entrant to predict (INSERT LUDICROUS BULLSHIT YOULL FIND OUT TOMORROW)
This will either go very well or annoyingly pointless
PMed Zimmer at 5pm EST still waiting on response. Just posting this here in case PM didn't go through or something. I'd like 3x $75 and 1x $300 please.
Nice hopefully you got heaps of PMs 😀.
I just filled out form and sent on paypal. Filling out brackets now.
ChipsAhoya, Please clear some PM's so I can send you the info.
