One shining moment!
Congrats to
ALEX for not only winning this years 64-Upick but for also winning the 64-Lotto. He stole Baylor from ChrisG in the first round and never looked back! Alex also beat out his own mother - Congrats Missy for a hard fought 2nd place. In the end, Only 5 people had a "positive bean balance". Other notable winners are Edward Shawn- for beating himself in the auction (still a big win there for a light year) and Steve and Kevin scored 2nd place winning in their collective lotto contests.  Thanks again for ALL OF YOU.  As Mentioned, MOST of you owe me something - get on with it!  Alex is waiting!  Lastly, I hope to see all of you again next year with some additional friends as we all watch IU basketball go for Top Beans in the Auction (- which means them being in the sweet 16. Count on it, Purdue Peeps!   -Kory

 Are you not entertained?
Who had UCLA in the final 4? I can tell you, NOBODY. That's right. You can glean that and other insights via the Tourney Results link and click on the indvidual game matchups. Who did win? It's appearing more and more likley that contestant is
SETH Note there are more games to be played, and more hearts to crush so check back Sat. for game day spreads and other stats.
Lastly, there a a few squares left on the supergrid. Those are still live an "in play" for the big rewards during the final 3 contests.  - Stay groovy!

 Sorry for the pause in updates, to make up for it ALL items / contests etc have been fully updated! - Note, it's obvious this year is a little low in participation. That's understandable, I'm just glad we have what we have and that we are seeing some really good games with minimal impact. Stay safe out there and look for the next update and scoring results tomorrow.

Sweet 16. You've got options
As mentioned below, there are several options you can exercise to get right back into the game. See the side panal as all links are now live.  Check back on Wed for news on the AUCTION - until then, enjoy!

Can I Get a Do-over?
Actualy, you can! - sort of. In addition to the Supergrid, look for the 16 U-Pick to open up tonight and a 16 Lotto Request thread as well. What is the Supergrid? It's where YOU pick a square which is the union of a game score. You "own" that square for the remainder of the tourney. - Every game, every win. You get a  percentage of the beans in the pot.  Look for it tonight. Until then rejoice in your awesome bracket (or others) as the Current Standings and Tourney Results have been updated.
