I'm still not sure if I'm going to do it this year or not. I've focused most of my bets and interest in the EPL this year, and am attempting to win an EPL Fantasy league with a cash prize of at least $340. I'll probably come around and take part, but this year it seems like a crap shoot based on blind luck with a slight exception for Kentucky.

Will sign up shortly. What's the tiebreaker(s), commish?

MontyTheMongoose · **Posted:** Mon Mar 12, 2012 9:43 am

First tiebreaker, as ever, is championship game final score.

Second breaker? Any ideas, Obner? I am tempted to suggest number of teams in the Final Four, if only because of last year's massacre -- I don't think anyone had more than one; I know I had Connecticut, maybe someone else had Butler, or something -- & nobody really having much of anything. But to expect this year to mimic last year is a fool's errand. So...

Final, total points; final, closest to actual score; number of teams in final four?

I forget what happened a few years ago with you and I...We had the same amount of points and we split the prize, right?

also, I'm sure this has been mentioned, but FSU's coach, Leonard Hamilton is Bunny Colvin from The Wire

can someone post a link to the sign in page? work computer is not cooperating.
also, are we including the first four games? in that case, go vermont and put stacey's wooden bowl store on the map.

I'm in and I support an even split if there is a two way tie, but favor a tiebreaker if we somehow end up with a multiple person tie.

Yeah, same total points with no tiebreaker in place, though I assumed it was total championship score. We split the pot and you gave me a CD.

I'm fine with Monty's current suggestion and will happily suggest throwing in winner's score as an additional tiebreaker between total championship score and # of Final Four teams.

... oh, and I'm in.

So I'm in a bragging-rights pool with my mom and step-dad, and we include First Four games. I went 1-for-4. This may not bode well.

you've got one wrong in the first eight...or are you talking about the fact that you accidentally put San Diego St. in the final? I'd call that one a long shot.

timmyjoe42 · **Posted:** Fri Mar 16, 2012 10:43 am

just being prophetic

And SDSU is either going to the final 4 or they are going to lose tonight.
