Final Notes
Greetings all! First and foremost I want to thank all of 
YOU for your participation and contribution to the various contests on this site. The goal since it's  inception was to have a spot where friends and friends of friends can celebrate what I personally believe is the greatest sporting event of the year. Without your participation we would have folded this site eons ago. If you've participated regularly or if this is your first time, I'd love to see you next year. -- bring a buddy - and branch out - next year I'd love to see some new names in some of the more obscure contests. 

In regard to this year's games - I honestly think this might have been one of the best tournaments to date. While I wish the outcomes would be different, you can't deny a record amount of overtimes, spreads beaten -etc. Heck of a tourney. 

As for
Korynet and the winners, here are my toasts and roasts. The Big winner this year has to be Dave. This is his first win after 20 years and 78 brackets.. (Ha!) Congrats. He won in a tie breaker for the ages - the first time it went to the final score and THAT took an OT to secure so an honorable mention goes to the 2nd place bracket of rookie - JoeyL.  The Lotto was also interesting this year with DUKE and VIRGINIA both losing against the spread 6 times. Where the beans went really didn't matter as the tribe from northeast Indiana basically cornered the market. Luke ended up beating Scott while baby Quinn got her first taste of winning - hopefully ensuring many return visits. Seth won the first annual "bracket sushi". Look for more about this next year as we open it up to the larger group. Seth also won big in the auction with his bargain pickup of Texas Tech.  However, he did not win the auction title. That goes to the perennial power house of ShawnR.  Shawn racked up his 4th consecutive Auction title but just barely and it cost him. What happens at the auction stays at the auction - lets just say Virginia bailed him out big time. Steve won the 2nd annual 64 ounce draft and Ryan won his third NIT challenge. Rounding out the other big beanouts - Coach was saved by random luck with his 16-lotto win and Feds cornered the 5-7 box on the supergrid for a rando victory. Lastly I want to mention this years Chump - Steve. The "Chump" award goes to the lowest scoring bracket. Steve ruined KimR's 3 year sweep.  What's interesting here is it's not Steve's first. This is his 3rd beating out his daughters 2 wins (which I believe were both mascot driven).

That's it folks. It was another great year and I am looking forward to the next one. I've completed my audit so I'll be hunting most of you down over the next week.  -Till '20  - Cheers!!   - Commish

Let me stat this upfront, I won't update this site tonight. I will update the current standing in the morning and then a summary post in the next few days. Those of you with bean possibilities might be checking, but most folks are sadly, at the "invoice" stage. If you are and you owe me beans, don't wait. Ship them my way.  For those still in some sort of contest, good luck!  Below is the final line.  Enjoy!

Read it and weep.
I'm not going to lie, once my my bracket chances were tanked I rooted for mayhem. Mayhem was delivered! Everything is up to date so read'em and weep. (Note: Most of you need to start coughing up some beans.) This site will be back next week when all will be settled, until then.. most of you need to keep your day jobs, but those fortunate enough to be back in the mix, good luck!

 That's right, busted. Like your bracket. But for every collapsed bracket, there is a silver lining for as one falls another rises. For example, look at
TStew - up 24 positions since the last update. That is how this whole thing works.  The site has been fully update and today's contests are spelled out below. Good luck!  - Commish

Madness Eve
First a heartfelt thank you for those in attendance this Tuesday night. It's an annual gathering that has been happening constantly for quite some time. Whether it was started to kill some time, or to 'prime our pumps' the historic "WFH it's only a buck" NIT Challenge was followed by the 2nd annual 64 Draft and the brand new - yet to be named event. I'm Calling it Bracket Sushi or Bracket Sudoku - please vote on the Smackboard if you have a opinion. 

Housekeeping notice, the site will be updated throughout the day culminating in drawing for the world famous 64 Lotto tonight around 7pm.

Lastly,
IT IS NOT TO LATE FOR BRACKET SUBMITTALS! - That's right, here at Korynet the play-in games are free! Always have been, always will. So contact your friends and family and remind them they have until tip off of Thursdays games.  Good Luck everyone!
