We've done this the last couple of years and it's worked out well. It's definitely a fun wrinkle to a NCAA tournament pool. You pick one team each day of the tournament to win straight-up. If they win, you advance. If you lose, you're out. You can only pick a team once so you may not want to use a #1 seed on the first day. The only exception to the "one pick per day" rule is in the Elite 8 round where you will still have to pick two teams, but you can pick both the Saturday games, both the Sunday games, or one of each.

Last year we had 21 participants and I hope we pass that number this year. Feel free to share this with anyone not on the board.

The pool is at https://www.officefootballpool.com/pools.cfm?poolid=182847&p=2&pwd=p9nrt5

It's $50 to join, but tournamentpools.com does charge $1/entry, so please send me $51. PM me for paypal or venmo details.

I think you have to activate the pool so we can select because it is not allowing me at the moment

Something is wrong with that site. They changed ownership in the last year and it's all jacked up. I set up the pool last week and now it's telling me I need to do it again, but I'm not able to do set it up. I'm at a work conference all day. Let me tackle it tonight and I'll let y'all know.

I saw the site decided to boot most of the shit. They don't do some other ones I used to do on there (confidence pool, super seed pool) so they may be getting rid of it.

I don't even see it being an option under start a pool.

Also went to another Survivor i was in before and it says something about Splash. When i look at Splash that site/app whatever looks to be where they have moved some of the shit.

When I click on "create a survivor contest", all I get is a blank screen. Are you seeing something else? 

I tried to renew the group in splash, but I'm just getting an error each time I do. 

Does anyone know of another platform that can host a pool like this?

I just went to create pool and it started me through a wizard.....it allows you to collect money through site or choose to handle it on your own. I didn't go to the end.

Obviously would lose the history, but may be the easiest

Everyones log in works on splash also from officefootballpool

Sucks they went and fucked with shit.

That wizard was what I tried yesterday and it wouldn't work. That was before the tournament schedule was set, so maybe that was the problem. I'll try it again tonight when I get home. 

In the meantime, if anyone has ideas on other ways to host this pool, I'm all ears.

We've got 12 paid players now. I know of one more that is paying tonight.

One thing I noticed in the rules: everyone has to sign up for the pool by the first game, so tomorrow morning at 11 AM. No signing up late and then picking the night game. So if you know anyone else who wants to join, have them do it tonight.

We got our first clenched butthole
.....g man took Clemson

That's a buddy of mine. He's not real happy right now.

In other news, the site didn't charge us for hosting the pool this year. So there's an extra $17 in the prize pool for the winner.

For the record, I hope aggy loses this game even though it means I’m bounced…

Lol thats partly why i picked them.  I would be less mad of getting booted day 1 than if I lost on a team I didn't hate

I used two 2 seeds that I do not trust deeper into the tournament - Tennessee and Bama. Bama almost killed me today. I'm pretty surprised that I'm the only one that has picked either. Last year, I feel like a bunch of us got killed trying to get cute with lower seeds while there were still 1's and 2's in our hip pockets. I'm hoping to see that happen this time around too, I guess.
