    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.
    I'm in.

      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.

      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.

      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

        "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

                    •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?)
                    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?

                          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.

                          • 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.
