Actually, it looks like I finally got smart last year and added a 'Name' row next to the Entrant Moniker on my spreadsheet. Only took 8 years. Also, but for Covid spoiling the 2020 tourney, this would be our 10th CS knockout pool. Next year will be #10, and we'll have to do something extra.Originally posted by Donuthole View PostRunning it back in Twenty Double Deuce:
Let me know if you are in and I'll sent payment info (Same VenMo or Paypal as last year, if you still have it). Remember to let me know your moniker so I can match up payment with entries.
Past Champions:
2013 - Clark Addison
2014 - Captain
2015 - Parrothead and Captain (TIE)
2016 - Clark Addison
2017 - Christian R. (non CSer)
2018 - mbn
2019 - Maimus (RIP)
2021 - Mrose (Occasional CS lurker)
EDIT: OK, I went back to the posts in 2015 and recreated the remainder of the bracket i was missing. That's 45 minutes of my life i'll never get back, but I now have an accurate history of the entire CS.com Knockout tournament. FTR, 2015 is the year when Captain and Parrothead both made correct picks both rebought after day one, and picked correctly all the way to the Final Four, at which point neither of them had the championship teams left. One of the best Knockout years ever.
In 2017, just two years after HFN declared that this game would never make it through the championship, it went all the way to the final game, with Christian R. knocking off Clark Addison in the final game. Lol @ Gonzaga.Last edited by Donuthole; 03-15-2022, 11:57 AM.Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss
There's three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who's got the same first name as a city; and never go near a lady's got a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

I’m in like foreskin"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

Picks already sent. I am about 90% sure that I'm not the one who violated this rule this iyear. Should I just send my rebuy now, or do I wait until I am inevitably knocked out on day one?Originally posted by Donuthole View PostRunning it back in Twenty Double Deuce:
•For Day 1 of Round 64, you have to pick TWO WINNERS. Not against the spread, just outright winners — again, both teams just have to win. If either loses, you’re out. MAKE SURE YOU PICK TWO TEAMS THAT PLAY ON DAY 1. SOMEBODY MESSES THIS UP EVERY YEAR. EVERY. YEAR. EVERY *REDACTED* YEAR! (The streak continues. Who will do it this year?)

I've done all I can to help. I guess I could sign up my son, hand him a list, and have him pick from it. It might be more effective than my attempts even.Originally posted by Donuthole View PostC’mon folks.

We’re up to 24 so far. I just sent a PM to several who have played in years' past. Hopefully that drums up a few more.Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss
