    SBR NCAAB Tourney Pick 8 Contest ($2,000 in Cash Prizes)

    The NCAA Tournament tips off on Thursday, March 16th and SBR has an exciting contest lined up with $2,000 in cash prizes exclusive to SBR Pros. While we finalize our new contest platform, we will use RunYourPool once more to host this tourney challenge.


    Contest Rules:

    - Members pick any 8 NCAA teams out of the field of 64 before the tournament starts (First Four/Play-In Games not included). Once the tournament starts, no additional picks are made.

    - Every time one of a member's teams win, they are awarded the number of points equal to the team's seed PLUS a certain number of points depending on the round according to the following table:

    Round Points
    Round of 64 Seed + 1 Point
    Round of 32 Seed + 2 Points
    Sweet Sixteen Seed + 3 Points
    Elite Eight Seed + 4 Points
    Final Four Seed + 5 Points
    National Championship Seed + 6 Points
    - Example: A member picks a 5 seed and that team wins 3 rounds. They will be awarded 21 points (6 in Rd 1 + 7 in Rd 2 + 8 in Rd 3).

    - The tie-breaker is the combined number of points scored in the Championship game. Each member must enter a tie-break value when they make their picks.

    - Pick deadline is 12:15 PM ET on March 16th. Standings will be based on most total points at the end of the NCAA Tournament


    Prize Pool:

    1st - $1,000

    2nd - $500

    3rd - $250

    4th - $150

    5th - $100


    How To Enter:

    1. Go to the Run Your Pool Contest Page

    2. Register if you do not have an existing RYP account or sign in if you do. Make sure your display name is the same as your SBR username.

    3. Join the contest at this link: https://www.runyourpool.com/p/j/d369...3453495b0a8307


    Fine Print:

    1. Contest Open to SBR Pros only. Must a SBR Pro by pick deadline of 12:15 PM ET on March 16th.

    2. All Cash prizes paid via PayPal. Winners will be contacted via PM for PayPal details. Must respond within 30 days in order to receive prize.

    3. Multiple entries per household are prohibited. SBR reserves the right to disqualify members who attempt to gain more than one entry in the contest.

    Only 21 entries so far. I don't see why this shouldn't hit at least a 1000 entries. If SBR was smart they would send everyone a pm to check this out and an email invite.

    Should also send invite links to sportsbooks saying they can place March Madness picks.

    Bro, if that was the actual rules of the contest, there may be about 25 entries. Great for odds though!

    It will be really sad if people only come back when there is a cash contest to play. This maybe the weirdest business plan I have ever seen unveiled by new ownership. I guess forum traffic is not important to their bottom line.

    Why come into this thread and stir the pot Frank? Why are you so often acting as the divisive one these days? If I didn't know you personally I'd be wondering if you are paid to do it.

    Every pro member is welcome to play with open arms.



    Ignore the wet blankets and enjoy the contest all

    The less entries the better. Better chance of winning
