1. If you or someone else has a history of running this and wants to run it this year, I will step aside. I was just trying to fill a void because I didn’t remember seeing one in prior years…I’m not a vet on this forum by any means.

2. I was planning on using a private group via CBSSports.com or yahoo tourney pick em.

just to be clear. All players are putting up a five premium cigar ante. The player with the winning bracket gets everybody else's ante?

Or will the distribution of winnings, number of winners, depend on the number of players?

My bracket is all filled out. I can attest to not having watched a single minute of college ball and not watching any highlights of the season. My picks are totally wild a$$ guesses.

I have no dog in the fight but, based on my knowledge of how these guys work, I don't think they will allow you to be the only person to pay out.

Yea what Bucky said... We were all in it to win it!!! no need for just one person cover the odds...

Course, if everybody's bracket it busted? then we could do a Sweet 16 bracket for everyone and start over?? LOL Herfing

Agreed there’s our world order decree of one must ante and have trade cred to be worthy of the challenge. Necessary to stave off these imperial bounty hunters!

There’s still a couple guys with the overall winning team alive. They’re all active forum/trade cred folks, worthy foes of my lone payout. Losers can always bomb the winner on their own.

Yeah, if losers don't pay their 5 cigar entry fee then it's not really an entry fee. So, everyone should send their ante to the winner

If everyone busts, I have no idea what we do at that point. Best percentage, award whoever made it furthest, start fresh on a new round, call it a wash? I'm flexible

There was no ante of a fiver agreed on to get into this one. Sorry for the confusion. I offered to payout ante to the winner because no one had signed up and time was running out. So I’ll payout a fiver to winner. If you all want to send fiver to winner too that’s cool, but to be clear that wasn’t the rules I established for this one!
