2011 CUF March Madness bracket buy-in amount

[scottie]

How much should the CUF bracket challenge entry be this year? Last year I posted this poll and $10 received the most votes, but for some reason I went with $5. I'm leaning $10 this year unless $5 gets more votes or it's close.

FYI, Lebowski won in 2009 and DrumNFeather in 2010 (both can attest that they received their payouts immediately after the championship game).

I said 10 but I would still do it if it were 20. I just want to maximize payout whether it be 5 bucks 10 bucks or 20 bucks.

The higher the stakes the better, it isn't fun unless it hurts when you lose.

What is the format? I don't remember previous years. Do you get a seed bonus as the rounds progress? Each round worth more? Beard bonus points?

In the past we've done progressive scoring with upset pick bonuses.

You never paid me my bonus for winning last year, thus keeping your wife out of the top spot and making it so you didn't have to hear about it. I'm still waiting.

Looks like we'll probably go with $10, unless a bunch of $20 votes come in today. 25 entries at $10 a piece would make for a decent $250 prize to the winner (you're welcome for doing the math).

Am I invited and how does the $ work?

Everyone is invited, even non-CUFers. After the bracket has been announced I'll post something like this. All you need is a Yahoo account and preferably a PayPal account, however I have had people mail me checks in the past.

I can vouch for scottie on this. He got the payment out quickly. I hope you held on to my address, you'll need it again this year.
