Though discouraged, you can also pay via cash or check. Old school payment should be sent to me via passenger pigeon. Please contact me via email or DM and I'll send my physical address.
You must have your picks in by tipoff of the games on Thursday and have at least contacted me regarding payment for your picks to be valid. Also, due to technical shortcomings of the site, DO NOT USE SYMBOLS IN YOUR TEAM NAME. Play-in games do not count.
In addition to the pot, well be awarding the following bonus awards:
-High Score after Round 1 (i.e., Thursday and Friday): 100
-Worst Score a/k/a the That Was Impressively Futile Award: 20.
-Most creative/funniest bracket name -- 20.
The remaining winnings will be distributed as follows, after covering the fee for the site:
First Place: 40%

Third Place: 12%
Fourth Place: 6.5%
Fifth Place: 5.4%
Sixth: 4%
Seventh: 3.5%
Eighth: 2.5%
Ninth: 2%
Tenth: 1%
ALL Ties will be broken in favor of the person who guesses closest to the final total score of the Championship Game. In the event there is a tie for worst score, it will be resolved via random selection.
ANNNNNNYWAY, the more people are in, the more interesting it is, so FEEL FREE TO FORWARD THIS ON TO ANYONE THAT YOU THINK WOULD BE INTERESTED!!!
