PO NCAA March Madness Bracket Pools - Phase 1
OK since this will fall on me anyway to run, i may as well get the ball rolling.
Tournament starts on Thursday (no, the play in games dont matter), brackets will be released in a few hours. If you don't know how a bracket pool works then don't bother.
How do we want to do this? Here are the specifics we need to hammer out as I will only run one pool, but i'll go with the consensus opinions:
1) Price range
500 pts? 2500 pts? BCP/ACR? (Im all for pts - anywhere from 1K - 2500. If we do pts, you will pay for marketplace taxes as well)
2) Entries
One entry per customer or multiple? (I vote multiple)
3) Scoring format
The simplest way is 1pt per correct pick 1st round, 2 for 2nd, 4 for 3rd, etc. The other option is you get bonus pts for picking upsets based on the seed differential (Ex. If you have a 13 seed upsetting a 4, you'd get 9 pts).
Lets get this ironed out by tomorrow night.
