Dan Murfman said:I'm going through the payments. I have an excel file of all the PayPal payments and in the name column its listed First Name Last Name. Is there a way to sort the file so it's alphabetically by last name without going in and physically change the names to last name, first name?
Bonus points seem to be pretty overpowered. The current leader correctly predicted only 14 of the 32 first round games, despite the fact that this is one of the "chalkiest" tournaments in recent history.Dan Murfman said:I don't really disagree with you but that's how the program calculates it. I have thought about doing away with the bonus points but when I ever suggest most people say they like the underdog points and tell me to keep it.
Dan Murfman said:I'm sure everyone reading this has paid. But if I don't run the pool next year it's because it's the sweet 16 and I'm still owed $800.
It's but as long as I accept checks I'm not sure what I can do.johnmd20 said:That's garbage. I wish there was a way to not allow people to enter if they haven't paid yet. And I'm sorry, I know how annoying chasing people down is.

Appreciate the response, I actually got swamped Thursday morning at work and didn't even make it into your bracket this year. What I don't like about the scoring system is that with the system, someone could actually have a perfect bracket and lose.

You're all set. Your check has been cashedDeathofthebambino said:Murf, is there a way for us to confirm you received our payment, without individually emailing you and forcing you to respond to all of them? I sent my check out a while back, but I don't know if it's cleared or not and just figured I'd check and make sure but I don't see any paid/unpaid list on the site or anything.
It's about half and half. And for the most part I get all the money but it just takes some work. And while the bold is possible I think it's mostly laziness. It annoys me that it takes longer to do your bracket than it takes to make the payment but they don't do it.czar said:How many people generally pay by check? Being lax about how long people have to pay opens up the potential to watch the first weekend and hold out if your bracket(s) go to hell.
If you want to do checks, I think it would make life easier to just say "checks need to be postmarked by Thursday." You might not have everyone's money until Monday/Tuesday, but at least you can just toss brackets where people either A) didn't pay or B) waited, saw their bracket did OK, and then tried to slip the check in the mail after the first weekend.
Also, another reason to probably not highlight prize funds until Final Four weekend.
Sucks that people aren't ponying up, though. I've started giving away people's fantasy teams (I commish a couple leagues) before the draft if they don't pay. I finally gave up on having people pay me in September after sending them 1000 text messages.

Got to say I feel a little bad for Kathy. She wins if Wisconsin wins but still tied for 2nd with the Duke win but drops to fourth on the tiebreaker. First time I remember the tie breaker meaning anything.Deathofthebambino said:Looks like it'll be Kathy O. (if Wisconsin wins) or Nick P. (Duke). Either of them SoSH members?
If they are, no offense to Nick, but here we go Kathy, here we go.
