    Saw someone ask last night in IRC if there would be interest in this.
    I thought about running one myself. But with coaching 2 little league baseball teams wont really have the time to keep track of all the scoring.

    Who was it that brought it up? Id be interested in one for sure if someone else was running it.

    I think 100k is fair. I sold out the Superbowl pool at 100 squares I'm sure we can get a decent sized pool with the brackets too.

    I havnt watched much college at all this year but would still throw 100k at an entry.

    Oh heck, nice.

    I'll try to get on this, can't turn out any more costly than the return on these HC rolls this year for me ;)

    i went ahead and made two brackets.

    I am usually done in the first round of games and officially dead in round two anyways, so I figured it would be nice to pad the winner's purse a bit by going with two vs one :D

    I'll pay in when I see ya, which hopefully will be before the games start and my entries are disqualified :D

    good luck everyone, heres to 16th seeds busting everyone on day one!

    1st round is a wrap.

    We have a pretty tight competition going on right now, only 1 game separating the top 5.
