[rickie65]

==================

[JOH]

Guys, we got 18 now. Either we shoot for 32 or I may have to do some refunds. Keep entering I guess.

[JOH]

I'll get in. If needed.

50 points, post 1. come on.

[JOH]

Decided I'm cutting it off at 21 entries. That's 3 more.

[MrMiami]

So do we each get 3 teams? Is that how we are adjusting to less entries?

[SEAHAWKHARRY]

[Spektre]

[pablo222]

Gotta become a Pro. Sorry

[JOH]

I will post up for Bcats.

Fair enough.

[JOH]

One more!

[JOH]

Contest closed. Filled up.

Drawing coming soon.

[JOH]

These are the 2 lists I will shuffle up 10 times at random.org. Each one will then be matched up side by side to determine who gets what team. From there, stated rules in post 1 apply. The odd team not matched to anyone will be labeled ALL IN, meaning everyone will have a share. Should that team advance to the CASH BRACKET, everyone will split the winning share.

With the short field in this affair, I am reducing payouts to the FINAL 2 ONLY.
Total Pot is 1050 points.
Winner: 70% = 735 points
Runner Up: 30% = 315 points

Good luck!

[MrMiami]

Thanks JOH for running. Good luck everyone!

Are you going to post the closing lines?
Also, for flat lines (ie +8) are you going to round up 0.5 or down 0.5 to ensure no pushes? Probably need to be consistent.

See post 1. The bracket link will have all the updates. As for pushes, it's been covered in post 1 as well.

[MrMiami]

Got it. Cheers

[Otters27]

Looks cool. I'll just root for my team and hope for the best

[Getch13]

I get a win with Oral Roberts Who would of thought that. I'll take it

Bracket up to date....

VCU ruled out due to Covid. Oregon will advance which gives aggieshawn #3 a free pass to the second round. Tough break for MrMiami #3.

[brock]

Nice work JOH go Iowa -13.5

Half the entries have been eliminated... Round 2 about to shake out.

Thanks

[rickie65]

Would be seriously shocked to see either of my remaining teams make the cash round but I gotta say I like the format. Could probably be used on a smaller scale for other events like nascar, golf or tennis tourneys, etc.

[JOH]

The sweetest 16 you'd ever want to meet...

[MrMiami]

Aggieshawn strong showing in Sweet 16 and guaranteed Elite 8 appearance
