I’m in JSchill will be in to

Goon is in. Birddog said he is out this year. So we will need a fill in for him if anyone knows someone. 

Also would give first dibs to anyone on the OC already.

Sadly going to have to pass and miss it this year.... Im leaving on a cruise on Selection Sunday and just wont be available to text and wouldnt be locked into this thread to post my picks timely. Hate to miss it but hope you guys get enough people and have fun. 

I'm going to sit out this year. I'll be back next year.

Ha. I want at least 10 people! Need to get to the nitty gritty of the players available.

Ironman should do it with us

I agree. 

This is the least I’ve watched basketball since 1982

Honestly you don’t gotta watch much. If you watch over the next two weeks and see some of the conference tournaments you will be good. Honestly the seasons I watch more I do worse.

Probably more than most of us. 

Its just looking at seeds, picking your bracket, and then picking the guys on the teams you see advancing furthest who average the most points. Outside the first 2 rounds, where its mostly 1-3 seeds whose players average a lot, it becomes a guessing game of taking the lesser known scorers on those teams or the high scorers on the bad teams.

I promise you it will be fun and you will enjoy the first 2 rounds especially more than normal!

I enjoy this more than fantasy football.

Same. The endorphins on Thursday morning are for sure the highest of any gambling I do.

Anyone have someone who wants to join? I went 0/2 on folks who I figured wouldn't join, but had to ask.

@Ironman92  last chance? I think you will enjoy it immensely. Otherwise we will roll with 9, adjust the payouts, and I'll set the draft order this week.

I’ll ask around 

Sorry guys, thanks for asking

I am going to send out the payment requests today. 

sportchampps - let me know if you get any hits. I will do the draft order sometime early next week. 

Also, does anyone know @RollBrowns  personally?  Not sure if he is in or not. 

No luck so far

Alright. Will roll with 9 this year. Back to our full 12 next year. 

That gives us $450 to work with. Probably just drop 3rd place. And 50 for top game and total? I like those both making money vs just money back, but I do not know a better way without decimating 1st place payout. Maybe 2nd place is just money back? Open to a vote...

PAYOUTS:

• $250 1st place
• $100 2nd place
• $50 top total 
• $50 top game

Venmo requests have been sent.
