Cool, I hope you are adequately distracted enough for the auction we are in together ;) ... other than that, good luck in all of your drafts/auctions! I am heading to Vegas tomorrow!!

The Commish is officially in!! 8-) I've seen the Big Ten get wiped out enough times in post-season play to not believe the hype, but somehow I found myself with 2 Big Ten teams in the Final Four, but only 1 No. 1 seed there. This is the year of the UPSETS, so be prepared!!

Thanks for doing this Andy. The CBS Site was smooth and easy. Keep us updated on the standings and let's have some fun here. Great job.

word of advice for last minute stragglers..dont wait til 1145.....website is noticeably slower today with people doing their last minute picks.......get it done now........i am waiting to see where the total number is when we hit noon but we are definitely over $2K to overall winner

Standings show me in second-to-last place. I'm gonna get used to that. I suck at tourney brackets.

Change my team name to Dead Money.

will go with payouts like this.......

pay top 4.......last place gets money back

75 contributors to the pool

2750 in payments(not all received yet)- 110 brackets...I will keep first at 2000 no matter what if any of the money doesnt get paid via checks on the way...but pretty sure everyone will pay

1st 2000 (80 times entry fee)
2nd 375 (15 times entry fee)
3rd 250 (10 times entry fee)
4th 100 (4 times entry fee)
last 25 (money back)

originally went with 80/20 as my first/second.......but I was assuming we topped out at 50 entries...had to adjust as we got bigger.
