2011 Yahoo Tourney Pick'em

[DesignatedT]

Saw a few interested already so I figured I'd start a thread to see if we can get one going. If serious about doing this we would have to act fast since the games start Tuesday afternoon. I am down to do a Bracket for $10 or $20 dollars if others are interested (through paypal or whatever). Or if you guys want to just do a free one then we can do that also. I could also prob get some friends of mine to join as well. Who's interested?

[Flintstones32]

I'm up for free, 10, or 20, or whatever.

[Brutalis]

I'm down.. I will make a thread in the main section to draw attention..

[DesignatedT]

Good deal. Link them here.

[Brutalis]

Done, put one in club too.

[DeadlyDynasty]

down

[symple19]

I'm down if it's free

[Brutalis]

I'm down if it's free

Free ain't fun.

[roycrikside]

I'm down. Can I reserve a spot?

[DesignatedT]

Anyone can play. What is everybody's preference money wise? I am going to create a group on Yahoo right now.

[Sausage]

I'll go $10 but if theres more interest for $20 I'm down. Free=No Fun

[DesignatedT]

if we can get 10 ppl for $10 then that would be $100 for the winner. Doesn't matter to me.

[TacoCabanaFajitas]

Ill go in at 10

[alamo50]

I created the bracket through yahoo so you will need to create an account through them if you don't already have one

Group Name: SpursTalk
Group ID #: 98692
Group Password: duncan

Brackets are due Thursday by 11:00 AM CT time allowing you to see the first 4 play in games before you send in your final bracket. I would go ahead and fill in the bracket and if the play in games don't go as planned then change them later.

Paypal Info:
You can PayPal your $10 to [email protected]
I will collect all the money and send the total to the winner right after the national championship is played. If I don't receive your $ or don't hear from you by the first game Thursday then I will delete your entry. PM me if you have any questions or information about this. Also, when sending over the $10 make sure you include the 59cent paypal fee and let me know who sent it over.

[wontstartdumbthreads]

I'm in too. For 10 or 20.

[wontstartdumbthreads]

Is there a group ID #?

When I go to the link above, it asks for a #, not name.

Any ideas?

[DesignatedT]

Group ID # - 98692

[Brutalis]

Joined and made a bracket. How does the money thing work though?

You can paypal the money over to me and I will pay the winner through paypal or whatever at the end of the tournament is what I was thinking.

[Holden_Caulfield]

down.

p.s. how does paypal work? do i need an account?

[DesignatedT]

Yes you need to sign up for an account. It is free and doesn't require your bank info or anything like that. You can send money over with a credit/debit card...

[DesignatedT]

Make sure you guys log on and fill out a bracket. So far we have about 6 filled out. Deadline to submit a bracket is Thursday 11 A.M CT time

[Sausage]

Just paid and joined, filling out my bracket now!

[DesignatedT]

Remember deadline to submit your bracket is tomorrow morning. Let me know if you have any questions...

[brettn]

I'm in.

Payment should be sent, filling out bracket now.

[brettn]

Couldn't find it on yahoo, but what's the scoring distribution like? Do we get extra points for picking upsets?

EDIT: nvm found the scoring settings

[DesignatedT]

Got it brettn. Scoring system is the default Yahoo scoring system.

[wontstartdumbthreads]

Just submitted bracket and payment.
Can you confirm?

thanks.

[DesignatedT]

As of 3 AM this morning we are still missing payments from a couple guys. We have a solid 10 members paid so far so if anyone else wants to join you have untill 11 AM CT to turn in your bracket/pay.

[G-Nob]

Everyone is paid and ready to go. You should be able to take a peek at everybody's bracket now. Thanks to everyone for paying on time. We have 11 people playing so the winner will get $110.00 via paypal right after the championship game is played.

Good luck.

[Brutalis]

Totally forgot about this.

[Sausage]

Just need UConn to beat Kentucky and I'll win the bracket challenge. COME ON UCONN!

[Brutalis]

Rooting for UConn as well, just cause I hate Calipari.

[DesignatedT]

Yep. It looks like it's either Sausage or Flintstones. All comes down to the Kentucky/UConn game.

[Flintstones32]

Man and I hate Kentucky. Oh well. Guess it is win/win for me. If Kentucky wins, I get the cash, if they don't, I get to see them lose. :lol

[Sausage]

So far so good. Let's go UCONN!!

[DesignatedT]

They should hold on.

[Sausage]

So much for that...

[Sisk]

So much for that...

Congratulations tbh.

[DMX7]

That's also a lose-lose.

Glad I didn't play, this was probably my worst ever year picking teams.

[DesignatedT]

This was probably the most difficult year I can remember tbh.

[Sausage]

I'm so pissed.. I did 6 brackets this year all for money. 5 of the 6 on CBSSports.com, in all of them I picked UConn to make it to the Championship game, but I switched up all my brackets about 20 minutes before the deadline because I just wasn't confident in UConn. I would've changed this bracket too, but I forgot about it.. But my forgetfulness just won me $110 :)

[DesignatedT]

Congrats Sausage! I went ahead and sent over the $110.00 via paypal. Please confirm that you received it :tu

[Sausage]

Got it! Thank you so much! It was a fun tournament this year.

[Sausage]

Who's doing the ST Brackets this year? Free=no fun

[DesignatedT]

Let me know if anyone wants to play this year. I will have a bracket going again with friends/online people, etc. It will work through PayPal like last year. We are doing $20.00 per bracket, winner take all.
