About our Pool
Bruce
Moon has been running an NCAA tournament pool since 1980, usually with the assistance
with Jim Sweeney. Although records from the early years are incomplete, past winners
have included Bruce Moon, Al McGuire, and Queen Elizabeth. (Warning: memory fades
with age. This list may be in error.) Results from this century can be obtained
here: 2000, 2001,
2002, 2003,
2004, 2005, 2007. The pool went
on hiatus in 2006 while Moon was in China.
Please do NOT notify me of broken links
or other errors.
The pool has always embraced the philosophy of "the
more, the merrier". We particularly welcome those who know absolutely nothing
about basketball and, especially, those WHO DO NOT COMPLAIN ABOUT THE ADMINISTRATION
OF THE POOL, including grammatical errors, typos, and insensitive commentary about
the participants.
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.
Any questions
can be directed to Bruce Moon . No
phone calls, please.
Rules
1.
As always, the more the merrier.
2. As a matter of principle,
this pool does not recognize the "play in" game used to determine the
64th team in the tournament. The tournament begins on Thursday, March 20.
3.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 20, noon EDT. See above
for the URL where you record your picks. The second stage, the entries for which
are due Thursday, March 27 (noon EDT), covers the remainder of the tournament.
Second stage entries are not bound by first stage picks.
4.
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.
5. 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 |
6. 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. Moon makes every effort to supply the winner with an authentic
Final Four T-shirt, purchased inside the arena, but there are no guarantees since
travel plans are uncertain.
