Knockout Game: NCAA Tournament Knockout Pool

[scottie]

Here is a screen cap of how it played out last year:

Anyone besides me have the anxious and annoying tendency of instantly scanning other people's spreadsheets to determine what you'd have done differently? For me:

* The N/A cells that have the big "X", I would have conditionally formatted them to a different color (probably gray)
* Instead of the checkmark image in the 'Rebuy?' columns (unless you want to bother with VBA later for the entry count), I'd enter a "1" to indicate a rebuy, then:
* I'd have a cell somewhere to represent number of entries, with a formula that does a counta() of column A plus sums of each of the 'Rebuy?' columns
* Then maybe a "Jackpot" cell that multiplies the entries cell by 10.00

Ugh, I hate that I'm posting this reply.

You didn't play last year, dude. You're on the 2013 spreadsheet. I'll show you if you want, but I'd hate to ruin that pity party you're throwing.

You're right

[Clark Addison]

I'm in.

Apparently JL is still mad at me for not letting him switch his picks last year.

I hope you aren't sending any scandalous pics.

Was that in lieu of the $10?

Was that in lieu of the $10?

I'm sitting here in a meeting, just let out an audible chuckle and about 4 or 5 people turned and looked at me awkardly.

[CJF]

I'm in, but it will be a little tricky. Im flying from SLC to Manila Thursday morning before the games start. I won't be on the ground until after Friday tip off. I'll send my Friday picks with my Thursday, but unless I'm able to log in during a layover in Tokyo or international wifi is added to my plane, I may not see if I need to buy back and could be screwed Friday.

It was a mistake!

I am in. Maybe this will be the first year I get past the first day.

Don't bet on it.
