***** Important Notes ******
a) If the entry page does not load correctly, please check your pop-up blocker.
b) 8 teams will be playing in the "First Four" round to determine 4 of the slots for the 64 team tournament. Two of these will be 16 seeds and 2 are yet to be determined seeds. These games will be played on Tuesday and Wednesday prior to the 64 team field starting. If you want to know the team that will be playing, then you will need to wait until after the games on Wednesday to enter your picks. Explanation can be found here:
http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=5374116.
c) Once you are ready to submit your picks, please note the email option. The submit button is at the bottom left-hand side of the page. Just above that you have an option to have a copy of your picks emailed to you. Please check that if you want to receive a copy of your picks in an email (you will also be able to print brackets once all picks are in using a more user friendly PDF version). The default type of HTML will send them in a full bracket format.

Instructions
Entry Instructions
Again this year the NCAA tournament pool will be conducted online. You can get there by clicking the "enter your picks" link at the top of this page. Please fill out the information section and enter a team for each game and then click submit. This will refresh the screen and show your picks. You may print your picks from that screen if you would like. If you enter your email address it will send a copy to that address. When you choose, you just click on the team that you want to advance.
*** If you click the team that you wish to pick, that team will be moved forward in the bracket. If you choose the wrong team, simply choose the team that you intended to pick and it will change.
If you have other friends at work etc that want to join that is OK also.
Entry Fee and Scoring
$20 for 3 sheets (no exceptions - you can't pick 1 sheet for $6.67).
100% of the money collected is paid out.
The majority of the money collected will go to the winner and payout will be posted after the final number of entries is determined. The more entries that we get, the more places that will get a payout. Please keep in mind that it sometimes takes a while to collect all money before I am able to send out to the winners - if this is a problem for you, please DO NOT JOIN. All money COLLECTED goes to the winners, I do not keep any of the entry fees to cover the cost of running the site.
All picks must be in by game time Thursday. The entry page will be down after that point.
Your scoring will be as follows:
1st round games are worth 3 pts each
2nd round games are worth 4 pts each
3rd round games are worth 6 pts each
4th round games are worth 8 pts each
5th round games are worth 10 pts each
Championship game is worth 20 pts
You also get points for picking underdogs as follows:
1st round will be worth 4 pts for an underdog pick that WINS AS AN UNDERDOG.
2nd round will be worth 5 pts for an underdog pick that WINS AS AN UNDERDOG.
3rd and 4th rounds will be worth 6 pts for an underdog pick that WINS AS AN UNDERDOG.
5th and 6th rounds will be worth 8 pts for an underdog pick that WINS AS AN UNDERDOG.
Tiebreaker:
1st tie breaker -- total pts in final game WITHOUT GOING OVER
2nd tie breaker -- picked champion
3rd tie breaker -- most teams in final 8
WHEN SUBMITTING YOUR PICKS, PLEASE PUT YOUR NAME IN WITH A NUMBER IN ORDER TO DIFFERENTIATE THE ENTRY NUMBER (IE... LASTNAME, FIRSTNAME1 LASTNAME,FIRSTNAME2 ETC...) Again, you get 3 sheets for $20.
Once the games have started, I will have it set to check the standings online and the updates will occur regularly. As results start to come in, there will be a number of available reports on the reports page.

Paypal: mspslb@hotmail.com (you are responsible for any PayPal Fees)
