2016 NCAA Pool

[Dan Murfman]

So it's that time. I'm still working on the site.The site will be a little different but will have the same reports but a little different look. Should be easier to navigate. Same rules different entry fee. I have bumped it up to $20. And again as an option for SoSH entries you can use PayPal and can PayPal the money to me at dcinct@gmail.com. Just please don't mention NCAA pool or anything like that. Also I will accept payments through Google Wallet or Square Cash apps. Let me know if there any questions.

Looking forward to it!

Thanks Dan for doing this again. Far and away the best one I've played.

Any chance you can add Venmo as payment? I know a lot of people in my group would be able to pay that way.

 

[bostonbeerbelly]

Thanks Dan - will paypal you for a few entries.

I forgot I signed up Venmo. I'll add that too. Can send payments to dcinct@gmail.com

Thank you Dan and thank you for bumping it up to 20. I think that's a great idea.

 

[Dan Murfman]

Any thoughts on paying more than 3 places? I was thinking maybe top 5. But 60 30 10 is pretty easy to do.

 

[johnmd20]

I like the top 5 get paid idea but it is your pool. If you don't want to bother, keep it the way it is.

 

[Dan Murfman]

I was thinking while there might by fewer entries the pot should be bigger. So I think 5 is the way to go but I'm not sure of the percentages should be.

50/25/12/8/5?

 

[WayBackVazquez]

Don't worry too much about the percentages. I'm going to submit five of the same bracket.

Is this the first time you've ever made a joke? It was well done.

 

[Orange Julia]

So yes to Paypal, or no?

 

[Dan Murfman]

So yes to Paypal, or no?

Yes to PayPal. Just don't reference that you are paying for a NCAA pool.

 

[Dan Murfman]

All set to go.

 

[johnmd20]

Website looks much improved!

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

In.

 

[Orange Julia]

Yes to PayPal. Just don't reference that you are paying for a NCAA pool.

Ok! Happy Birthday, Nephew!

 

[Dan Murfman]

Dr Tooth keeps his streak alive as first one in.

 

[DJnVa]

So how's it looking? Is the $20 fee depressing the number of entrants?

 

[Dan Murfman]

It's a little behind last year but I have seen saw new names. My guess is last year there were about 300 entries I think this year there will be about 200.

 

[bostonbeerbelly]

I have referred a number of people to the pool this year, no one from my end thinks the fee is high. I will end up doing the same number of entries as last year and expect to lose again for the 9th year in a row.

 

[inJacobyWeTrust]

In again, paid with venmo. Thanks for organizing!

 

[Deweys New Stance]

Thanks Dan. Just paid for one entry via Paypal.

 

[candylandriots]

Also in again with Paypal. This is the only NCAA pool that I enter every year and have never taken any winnings. I'm hoping to change that, despite the fact I can't actually name more than probably 5 players in the tournament.

 

[Orange Julia]

Two via paypal.

 

[Dan Murfman]

Two via paypal.

Tell the cats thank you!

 

[Orange Julia]

Tell the cats thank you!

they never forget their favorite little nephew's birthday!

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

I entered, but my name isn't showing up on the members list for some reason. I'm going to try again. Hopefully it works (and I don't get entered twice). I saved a pdf copy of my bracket submission so I can email it, if necessary.

 

[Dan Murfman]

You're all set

 

[DJnVa]

I know it's probably fine, but I see my name on the list once...should be twice...

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

Just sent via Google Wallet. Will submit my losing bracket in the morning

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

Filling out 2 and sending payment via PayPal. From mgugs46@gmail.com

 

[bostonbeerbelly]

When is the entry deadline this year?

 

[Matty005]

I must be an idiot, but I can't see to find the members list??

 

[DanoooME]

Check is in the mail. I can't see my picks any more. Do I need to re-enter them?

 

[StuckOnYouk]

I'm in, sent 20 via PayPal.

GO UCONN

 

[Dan Murfman]

I just updated the player listing report and I have all entries through 5:30 am this morning. If you don't see your name there must have been an issue an you'll need to re-enter your entry. I'll be around to answer questions but won't be able to do an update to the pool until 2:00 this afternoon.

 

[Matty005]

Hey Dan, just to double check. If we did an entry post 5:30am, our name shouldn't show up just yet, correct?

 

[Jeff Van GULLY]

In for one this year. Thanks again Dan for doing this. Always a good time!

 

[MetSox1]

In, thanks again Dan!

 

[B H Kim]

Thank, Dan. Just submitted two entries (one for me and one for my daughter) and sent you $40 via Paypal.

 

[DJnVa]

There's 200 on that list now--$4000 pool, plus any entries that come in today.

 

[Dan Murfman]

Hey Dan, just to double check. If we did an entry post 5:30am, our name shouldn't show up just yet, correct?

If you entered it before 5:30 this morning you should be on the list. After 5:30 it won't be.

 

[Dan Murfman]

It's all updated. I have some duplicates that need to be deleted. Any issues please let me know.

 

[DJnVa]

259 entries? Nice.

Some cool reports--like I can see Texas Tech was only picked by 57 entrants.

How do you see that?

 

[DJnVa]

Click on Reports then Tournament Results, then click on the little pencil.

I think the most interesting one is there's one guy that has 5 entries. On all 5 of them he picked UNC-Asheville over Villanova.

 

[DJnVa]

Outside of counting, anyone found a way to see the breakdown of picks to win the title?
