tS' March Madness Pool - UPDATE!

I have the scores for my pool posted below, so check them out and see where you rank.

Last year’s winner, Krista R., posted a score of 186 (highest score possible is 243), and second place went to Zach C. with a score of 183. Krista won $34.00 and Zach collected $15.00. I dubbed last year as the “worst NCAA Tournament of all-time” on my website last year – the Badgers lost in the second round, I hated watching the national championship game between Florida and Ohio State, and for the first time ever, I failed to finish in the top ten in the pool (my best scores were 11th, 12th, and 13th place).

Last year was also the lowest amount of money that had ever been collected for my pool since the very first pool. That was when I was in the sixth grade, and three friends and I each put in a dollar and “drafted” 16 teams. If your team won the national title, you won the big prize (all $4.00!).

This year, the pool has $61.00 in the pot. The payout situation is this:

-Assuming there are no ties, first place will win $50.00, second place will win $10.00, and third place will win $1.00.

-If there is a tie for first place, those brackets will split the whole pot.

-If there is a single first place winner, but a tie for second place, I will draw a name from a hat to determine the second place prize.
