March Madness contest


BengalBacker

Recommended Posts

Open to suggestions, but this is kind of what I'm thinking.

$10 to enter.

Winner take all, or say 25% for 2nd place. Doesn't matter to me. I would prefer winner take all, and hope that the winner would decide to donate a portion to Go for server costs. No obligation, I think that would be illegal, but I hope the winner thinks of it like tipping the dealer in Vegas. ;)

Whatever normal scoring system you guys want to use, 1 point first round, etcetera.

Honor system. If you post a bracket, you're expected to pay up. If you aren't man (or woman) enough to pay up when you lose, don't get in. :angry: Winners and losers have to be willing to work together on payoff methods. Some people don't want to create a Pay Pal account, some people don't want to give their mailing address. In other words, let's say Rumble wins and let's say he has a Pay Pal account, so that's how he wants to get paid. Let's say Thurman doesn't have a Pay Pal account, and he'll have to mail Rumble a check. That means Rumble will have to either give Thurman his mailing address :o , or not get paid. Now let's say Thurman wins and he wants everyone to mail him a check. That means Thurman has to give everyone who owes him money his mailing address or he doesn't get paid. Make sense?

Since we are talking honor system I say it should only be open to people with at least 100 posts, or who have been a member at least two years. Otherwise we would get flooded with people who want a chance to win, but have no intention of paying if they lose, because there would be no consequences of not paying. There are no "real" consequences for [u]anyone[/u] who doesn't pay, other than the wrath from the board, and hopefully the realization that you are a worthless, low life piece of shit, so winners shouldn't be surprised if a couple of people decide the 10 bucks is worth more to them than their self dignity.

Post your bracket on here any way you want, as long as it's easy for everyone to figure out and can't be edited. I'm thinking just get an image of a bracket online, use Photoshop, or MS Paint, or crayons and a scanner, sign up with imageshack or something, and post the image here, any time between now and tipoff of the first Thursday games. Ignore the play in game. If anyone wants to pick the winner of the play in game to win their first "real game", just use "play in" for the team name in your bracket. Better yet, just don't get in because you're clearly too stupid to be gambling. ^_^


Anybody interested in something like that.

Im in Backer. but what im thinking is you should go to CBSsportsline.com and set up an account for free with them. and give everyone the password for the league and the link. then everyone can fill it online and the site fucking does the work for us. they show you the standings and all instead of all this ms paint thing. just an idea would make things a lot smoother. but im in :headbang:

I say you have to use your name from here, and then confirm it's you in this thread. Unless you actually put up the money through the site. I don't think you do though, do you? Isn't that just where we keep score, so to speak?

I hope you have a retarded monkey picking for you. Then you might actually have a chance. We've seen *your* NFL picks, you know :wave:

Yeah, I figured I'd wait to see who Rumble picks, and take the opposite. ^_^

I'm signed up, and I'll submit a bracket before the deadline.

So what are we doing? $10, winner take all?

There has to be at least 4 or 5 more of you out there who would be up for this.

No? Buncha chickens? Girly men are you?






:ninja:


Just kidding, I don't usually do these things either, but what the hell. Seems I'm always giving money to somebody, might as well be one of you guys. ;)


Is this legal? :unsure:
