March Madness Brackets (Np$) (Bidding is Currently OPEN)

Will Start a March Madness Brackets wager here. Check Back later as I will have brackets drawn up in which you will be able to download, write in your selections and upload.

Details to come when teams are finalized and brackets are drawn up.

A bracket will be posted as soon as I find one that goes live (will probably be CBS Sportsline) All rule modifications will be made before the bracket is posted for download. After that point, no rule changes will be made. Entries may be made until one half hour before the first first round game begins. Depending on the number of entries, results should be counted and out within a day or two of the end of the Final Game.
(Old Info)


Betting is now Open. Please see the attached Gif file. Each empty place on the bracket has a number. You will submit a bracket by posting (replying to this thread) a list of numbers (1-59) and placing the teams accordingly.

For example
1. Duke
2. Penn State
3. Florida State

This will make it easier to sumbit a bracket and easier for people who want to submit multiple brackets.

The Winner is the one with the most points according to the following points system:

For each team correctly placed for winning in the:
First Round (Round of 64): One Point will be awarded
Second Round (Round of 32) : Two Points will be awarded
Third Round (Regionals or Sweet 16) : 4 points will be awarded
Fourth Round (Elite Eight): 8 Points will be awarded
Fifth Round (Semifinals or Final Four) : 16 points will be awarded
Championship Game: 32 points will be awarded

The Winner Will take 55% of the total pot
The Runner-Up will take 25% of the total pot
The Third Place bracket will take 12% of the total pot
My rake for my time to read and assign points for all the entries will be 8%
(Yes this is roughly based on a 45% model, that is 25 is 45% of 55 and 12 is 45% of 25)

Should there be a tie for 1st, the winners will share get $0% of the pot each with the Third place finisher getting 12%
Should there be a tie for Second, The two runners-up will get 18% of the total pot each.
Should there be a tie for third, each thrid place finisher will get 6% of the total pot each.

You may enter as many brackets as you wish to enter.
Each Bracket will cost 150NP$(Click donate under mt name and send 150 NP$ with the subject March Madness

It may be easier to set it up through Yahoo Sports...You can see more information at:

http://tournament.fantasysports.yahoo.com/

It would be simpler to run, and all automated. Just a suggestion,

Tom

Thanks, but i'd like to do it by hand.

Brackets are the draws for a tournament, in this case the NCAA basketball tourney. People bet on what they think the results of the tourney will be. The brackets start with the 64 teams and the remaining lines are filled out by the people who want to bet on the tourney. Who ever has the most points at the end (for my points system see top post) wins!

For example
1. Duke
2. Penn State
3. Florida State

Wouldn't this actually be :

17 Duke

15 NC State

?

Chosing a "Bracket" # in place of the ranking ?
