Hopefully last night's game doesn't discourage anyone from caring about the NCAA tourney as a whole and/or from playing CS.com's version of the Knockout Game. Here's a list of who I have playing so far:
Just a friendly reminder as you send me your picks: you need to make sure you pick two winners from Thursday's games, not merely first round games. Look at Thursday's schedule below and make sure the two winners you submit are playing on Thursday:Donuthole Mrs. Donuthole Omaha 680 M. Red Death scottie Flystripper Drum n Feather smokymtnrain IJ Reilly Moliere falafel HFN ladyduck Junior Captain Ry Guy Clark Addison Jeff Lebowski RC Vikings wapiti CJF Copelius Maximus Surfah
If you inadvertently give me a Friday game and fail to correct it before tip of the first game on Thursday, your Thursday picks will be a loss and you will need to re-buy to play on Friday. Also, to void any advantage received from not losing two potential future teams to pick (because you didn't submit enough Thursday games) you will automatically have Kentucky and/or Villanova (in that order) picked as a used winner on Thursday. This shouldn't be a problem at this point, but I just want to make sure everyone knows the rules.Thursday Games Round of 64
12:15 PM (14) Northeastern vs (3) Notre Dame* 12:40 PM (14) UAB vs (3) Iowa State* 1:40 PM (14) Georgia St vs (3) Baylor* 2:10 PM (15) Texas Southern vs (2) Arizona* 2:45 PM (11) Texas vs (6) Butler* 3:10 PM (11) UCLA vs (6) SMU* 4:10 PM (11) Ole Miss vs (6) Xavier* 4:40 PM (10) Ohio State vs (7) Virginia Commonwealth* 6:50 PM (16) Lafayette vs (1) Villanova* 7:10 PM (9) Purdue vs (8) Cincinnati* 7:20 PM (13) Harvard vs (4) North Carolina* 7:27 PM (12) Stephen F. Austin vs (5) Utah* 9:20 PM (9) LSU vs (8) NC State* 9:40 PM (16) Hampton vs (1) Kentucky* 9:50 PM (12) Wofford vs (5) Arkansas* 9:57 PM (13) Eastern Washington vs (4) Georgetown*
If the above hypothetical scenario doesn't make sense, let me know and I will elaborate.Last edited by Donuthole; 03-18-2015, 09:42 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

Updated list of participants:
There's still time to sign up, as first tip isn't for another hour. I have received Thursday picks for everyone but RCV and wapiti. wapiti and RCV, get me your picks.Donuthole Mrs. Donuthole Omaha 680 M.

As for payment, it looks like I've received payment from about half of the group. If you don't know where to send the money, send me a PM and I'll give you the deets. I'm not worried about it at this point. I'll get to naming names if this doesn't shame everyone into paying this morning.

A special shout out to Clark Addison, who had the foresight to include a note reading "Thanks for lunch!".
You know, as opposed to saying something like "this is a payment for the NCAA March Madness Knockout Pool" like a bunch of you did.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

Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.
