Place Your Bets

Here's your chance to show your basketball prognostication abilities. There are two pools. If you like the simple "pick as many right as I can" type of pool, the Standard Pool is the one for you. The Seed Scoring Pool encourages players to pick upsets because it rewards those players who correctly pick an upset. It also rewards those who correctly pick upsets in later rounds.

Each entry costs $5. Enter as many times as you wish. Please send your entry fee to me at Box 376, Chamberlain, SD 57325. The payout at the end of the tournament will be as follows:1st place gets 40% of total pot; 2nd place gets you 30%; 3rd place gets 20%; and 4th place gets 10%.

Feel free to invite friends, family and co-workers to enter.

Submit your entries before the tournament begins. The tournament begins at 11:00 CST on Thursday, March 15.

You may enter 3 times per User ID. To enter more than three, please create another ID. It is really helpful if you enter online as my assistant (either my daughter or my wife) really doesn't like entering these for me!

You need to create your own used ID and password for the Sportsline site. You'll be asked to enter the password before you can join the pool. The group password for the Standard Pool is "knustandard" and the password for the Seed Scoring Pool is "knustseed".

To get started, just clink on the respective link above. Everyone has a team to follow: I have the Bluejays, Grap has the Mildcats, Goet has the Irish (at least for one game) and Kirby has the.......well almost everyone has a team in the tourney. Kirby, the Bluejays are always looking for fans though I'm not sure the Jesuits would approve of the "Sparky" thing.
