Dils Win or Die...NCAA Tournament Pool



Wow, what a weekend. The Duke/Boston College game is one of the better college hoops games this year. I think it is safe to say that JJ Redick is back!! As predicted here on this blog last week, Duke bounced back from back to back losses and won the ACC Championship. Now that the bracket has been unveiled for the tournament, it is time for me to unveil my NCAA Win or Die Pool. Rules are below. Please note that there is one link to enter the pool and another to enter your tiebreaker pick. Let me know if you have questions either in the coments section here or by emailing me at brian@dilsheimer.com.
  • Each person can enter up to five entries (please note: on the web site we are using, you can enter up to 15 times. Please do not enter more than 5 times). Enter at http://www.tournamentpools.com/ (pool # 15712; password, devils)
  • You can pick each team in the tournament ONE TIME ONLY (so don't waste Duke early!)
  • The cost per entry is $40 per entry (winner takes entire pot less web site fees less any "gift"). Send your money right away to Brian Dilsheimer, 229 Righters Mill Road, Gladwyne, PA 19035. Do not make me chase down money, we are all adults, just send it before the tournament starts so I get everyting in by the weekend, next Monday at the latest.
  • You pick one team each DAY (not round) of the tournament.
  • Last entry standing takes all.
  • As a tiebreaker, you pick one team, and your tiebreaker points are determined by that team's number of wins multiplied by their seed # (for example, if you take a #3 seed, and they win two games before getting knocked out, you get 6 tiebreaker points).
  • Picks are due each day by noon et, 9:00 pt.
  • You will enter your picks each day on the web site. The first day you will enter a pick PLUS a tiebreaker pick. (Note: to make picks, go to the web site, and go to the tab labeled "Picks", subtab "My picks"; to enter your tiebreaker team, you will go to the same tab labeled picks, then subtab "Tiebreaker Team". This "tiebreaker team" subtab is not up as of Sunday night at 7:30 pm but should be up by late Sunday night. If you do not make a tiebreaker pick, you get 0 tiebreaker points.
  • You can still pick your tiebreaker team one time as your pick (i.e., you can pick your tiebreaker team once as a pick as well as for a single daily pick)
  • Speaking of tiebreaker, the we site organizer does not want to put the tiebreaker in his drop down menu, so please use this link to make your tiebreaker pick: http://www.tournamentpools.com/picks.cfm?p=13. Let me know if you have any problems.
  • The tournament starts this Thursday 3/16, so get your picks in by Thursday at noon et. More information, including a link to the web site, can be found below.
    If you were prviously in this pool, please make sure your email address is updated on the site if it has changed.
  • Let me know if you have any questions. See below for more information.
  • Pool ID: 15712
  • Pool Password: Devils

Again, all Thursday picks AND tiebreaker picks are due by Thursday at noon et, 9:00 pt. Then, provided you win Thursday, picks for Friday are due Friday at noon et, and so on. A more comprehensive list of the rules can be found below in the original email.
