Is there a pool at FIPG for the NCAA Tournament?
Armstrong
23-02-2006 11:22:25
That is an awsome Idea. Is there a website that we can set up and account for FIG and then we could do a cash pool or something separately?
Armstrong
23-02-2006 11:24:56
If we get enough people together, I'll set this up on my webspace...

I hate to break this to you, but their record is 13-10. I don't think they'll qualify.
tylerc
23-02-2006 13:18:23
I think they will.
The Big 10 is the hardest conference in the country and they've had a hard schedule outside of that too.

I'm in, How much should the entry fee be?
nitriv
23-02-2006 13:33:17
im thinking anywhere in the range of 5-10.
who will run it?
JordanE

If we could convince TSJ that probably be the best person to handle all of the payouts..etc

Armstrong
25-02-2006 06:52:05
can someone set this up...the link that i put in the second post wont work on my server. is there any websites out there that are free to manage this? we need to start looking into this!
JordanE
25-02-2006 11:36:33
Last year i did one though espn.com it pretty nice.
yahoo has one too for free I think.
Armstrong
25-02-2006 14:41:15
Ok, I've set one up, its at poolhost.com and its free. how should we manage the entrance fee? and any other options let me know! I'll post the link as soon as we figure it out.
MyungChunHa
25-02-2006 15:20:48
i say let the entrance fee be about $10 per person and let a mod on this forum handle the money....that way it will guarantee no scamming...

Sounds good. Will a Mod contact me that is interested in hosting this. I will then get them all the information regarding our poolhost.com account. Once you put in your money, you will be given the boardname and password to start applying.
Again, will a mod please contact me that is interested

How are you going to pay? Paypal? Amazon?
Armstrong
25-02-2006 17:10:49
I was thinking we'll just send it to the mods paypal, then pool it up and do a 1st and second or winners take all...

yea im in too.....i agree with mcal44 only because the Big East is really the Big East and Conf USA from last year and there are like 29 teams(well 18 but you get the idea) and they all dont play eachother twice....the Big 10 just beats eachother up and cant win on the road...we will still have 3 in the elite 8 again

25-02-2006 22:25:41
I think we should do like a 1st and 2nd a someing know one pussys out we already have $150 ish if wee can get $200 than like first is $150 and second is $50 or something like that.

poolhost.com will manage our pool for free. someone can set it up there.
Wolfeman
28-02-2006 15:48:52
I say we go with a private yahoo one since most people have a yahoo account. CBS Sportsline is good too. What we need is a mod to handle the money. If everyone puts in $15.76 (the $0.76 is for the fees) then we can have decent prizes for 1st, 2nd, 3rd...
nitriv
28-02-2006 19:54:20
Good idea wolfeman, but we need someone to actually run things and get us set up so when the tourney starts we will be ready to go. We need someone to take control of the pool for everything besides the money. Can someone volunteer to run it? By taking on this role u need to set up the system and find out who will participate.

28-02-2006 20:05:58
Armstrong PM'ed me about handling the money and I said I'd have no problem but I did have a few questions here.
If someone wants to answer these I'll let you know if I'm in for being the money-man. Like I told Armstrong though I have no interest in the actual tournament itself.
What would it require? What methods of payment are being accepted? How many people are involved? How long will this last? How are the winners being selected?

pretty much it would require your paypal account and then pay the winners
# of people...it all depends....the tourney starts march 14th..so people will have until the 13th...or right b4 tip on the 14th to get their brackets in
it lasts until monday april 3rd
depending on what service is being used....most will calculate the leaders and winners on the home page for the league

It looks like paypal
[b09d9c867a6]How many people are involved?[/b09d9c867a6]
17 thus far
[b09d9c867a6]How long will this last?[/b09d9c867a6]
Untill the tournament is over (i'm not sure about the real date)
[b09d9c867a6]How are the winners being selected?[/b09d9c867a6]
The winner(s) are the people who get the most points.
It's very clear who that is once its all over.

When they pay you TSJ, you can give them the password to the league and the info. The winners are easy to tell. We need to decide on how much we want enterance fee to be and how much we want 1, 2, 3 place to get...
tylerc
28-02-2006 20:47:27
I think Amazon should be considered.

Wolfeman
01-03-2006 22:22:26
I guess since I'm a mod now and I'll be involved I can run it and take care of the money. Lets do this.
I want to use CBS Sportsline since you can customize scoring. I say 1 pt. 1st round correct, 2 pts. 2nd, 4 pts. Sweet 16, 8 pts. Elite 8, 16 pts. Final Four, 32 pts. Champion with total score in the championship being the tie breaker. $15 + PayPal fees entry and we pay 60% 1st place, 25% 2nd place, 15% 3rd place.
Discuss...

I believe it's a total of $15.76 that you have to send, Wolfeman wrote it somewhere around here.....and I don't think we should have any more than one bracket entered, just to keep it fair to everybody....
Wolfeman
02-03-2006 12:51:05
$15.76 would be the entry fee. I think thats a good amount, not too much but the winner can actually win a decent amount (20 people pay 1st place gets $180, 2nd $75, 3rd $45). 1 bracket per person. I like that the points increase X2 each round so if you pick right down to the champion you get big bonuses. To make this clearer, each right pick in each of these rounds gets you this many points
1 - 1 pt.
2 - 2 pts.
Sweet 16 - 4 pts.
Elite 8 - 8 pts.
Final Four - 16 pts.
Champion - 32 pts.
