Our
winner is gerry whitcomb, the third win in four years for a member of
the Whitcomb clan. He will receive $76.50 and an authentic Final Four
T-shirt purchased inside the arena in San Antonio. Congratulations, Gerry.
Second is pool rookie Tucker Bartlett, who will receive $25.50.
In the pet category, the winer
is Rufus, who easily bettered the human members of his Morgan family.
Second was Humphrey, who was able to outperform the Moon family even while
picking from that Great Kennel in the Sky. Woof!
Better luck next year, losers!

Rules
1. As always, the more the merrier. Newcomers are always welcome.
Multiple entries are encouraged, but please use different names to avoid confusion.
Deceased pets are especially welcome, as they have generally outperformed their
humans.
2. The pool is conducted in two stages. In the first, one must
predict the first weekend's games (rounds 1 and 2) plus, as bonus picks, the
advance winners of the four regionals. The entry deadline is Thursday, March
18, noon EST. The second stage, the entries for which are due Thursday, March
25 (noon EST), covers the remainder of the tournament. Second stage entries
are not bound by first stage picks.
3. Entry fee is $3.00, which can be left for Bruce Moon in a variety
of ways - under his door in Maginnes Hall (208), in the International Relations
office (Maginnes 207), or collected by designated pool officials in regional
offices. The single entry fee covers both stages.
4. The winner is determined by total points. Points are earned
for correct picks as follows:
Round 1 1
point
Round 2 2
points
Regional bonus 5 points |
Regional semis 4 points
Regional finals 4 points
Final four 6
points
|
5. The first-place finisher wins 75% of the pool. The second place finisher
wins 25%. The entry with the highest number of correct upsets and the highest
percentage of correct upset picks wins the respect and admiration of everyone.
