The N-PpEP is (Almost) Here!

Guess who's back. Back again. Unregulated gambling is back. Tell a friend.

That's right. It's America's 7th or 8th favorite activity: The NCAA Player Pick 'Em Pool. Or as I like to call it the: The N-PpEP (second p is silent).

Haven't played before? Well here are the rules:

You select one player from each seed and their points become your points. Whichever participant accumulates the most points at the end of the tournament wins. Tie-Breaker is whoever guesses closest to the championship game score.

The entry form will be released late in the evening after the NCAA announces its seeding. Can you invite people? YES! Please do. I wasn't just quoting Eminem at random above.

Each entry is $10. The pool will be split 70-20-10 with a minimum of 10 entries (minus the daily awards explained below of course). Less than 10 entries and winner receives entire pool. Your moderator receives nothing in return outside of your gratitude. Since it is my second year doing this, I am going to cap this at 60 entries.

New this year: For the first four days, the highest daily total each day will win $10. Less than ten entries negates this rule.

Once the brackets open up, money can be sent to my paypal: paypal.me/smsetnor. It must be sent tip-off on Thursday, March 21 . Please leave a note that states which entry yours is. That's important.

For those about to rock: We salute you.

For those about to play: We implore you to read this paragraph. The play-in game stats do not count. If you need to change from a player that you selected from the play in list because that player lost, you must email me at smsetnor@gmail.com before noon on 3/21 with a replacement player. Don't FB message me, text me, or Myspace message me with the change. It has to go to my smsetnor@gmail.com email.

Once I have all the entries input into my Excel machine, I will send them out for everyone's review. You can even play along at home. The plan is to show updates via this blog and a viewable Google Sheet.
