 Final Update
 Again, thank you all for your continued patronage! I think the new Bracket software was a success - so we will be keeping it going forward.  I also hope to push for more participation - so if you know anyone in your circles, feel free to hit them up next year. As I hinted at last post, There where a few big winners this year. 
RyanV took the big title of U-Pick winner adding to his '06 2nd place finish. Yours truley (commish) took 2nd.  The next biggest winner was good 'ol Eshawn. Not only securing the winning Square - but also making a killing with his his omniscient UCONN pic - Congrats!.  Steve won the 64-Lotto and   Feds won and 16 Lotto.   - Commish

 Wow.  Is your bracket toast like many?  Now is your chance to stay involved, there are 10 squares left on the Supergrid.  They only cost 5 and there are 2 games today, both of which could win you 10* Same for tomorrow. But wait, there's more! that same square is still active  for the final 4 games, (2 35* bean pay outs) AND the Campionship! (100* Beans!) Think bout it!

Sweet 16 Eve
Big shout out to all those that attended the first ever Virtual Auction! I think it  worked - to keep the auction alive - when the in-person- just can't happen.  The Auction grid is now live to track the stats.  Note, I hope to post the  line's for tomorrows games mid day tomorrow. LASLTLY, there are still several spots left if one is interested in playing the 16 Lotto or the supergrid.  The Supergrid will remain open throughout the Tourney, but the 16 Lotto ends and teams will be picked by 5pm Thursday.  Don't delay on these last 2 options in 2023 to win major beans!

Sunday funday
Good morning all.  As usual, the lines for today's games are below. May the odds be ever in your favor.  Note: we've had 8 steals so far for what that is worth.  Aslo note I've opened up the Supergrid Reservation thread. The Supergrid (aka "Squares") is a fun and exciting way to continue enjoying the tourney - no skill involved.  Simply aquire a square or 2 and then watch the tourney. If the score of any game ends on your square you win! (starting in the sweet 16).  You have "action" on every game - even the final! Payout increases as well. The campionship historically pays out 100 beans!  I also opened up the 16 Lotto Reservation Thread. That's just like the 64 lotto, re-racked with a higher bean count to get in. (10 per pick).

 Good luck!

GAME DAY! The "First Morning" Briefing
Greetings gang! It's about to get real I've pickted the Lotto names last night and will be updating the site throughout the day (I took the day off but was called in for a 2 hour meeting this morning so the site is on a 2 hour delay)  2 things of Note:  Brackets submissions are still open - but it does close automatically at the tip of the first came (i think) It's out of my control so get your picks in. Note, you can rename your picks, even change them, up until the deadline. Also, MAKE SURE YOU COMPLETE (SUBMIT) you picks. You can have an Entry - in edit mode - that has yet to be completed. Ensure your pick is totally done and submitted.   Again, I'll update the site throughout the day here are the morning lines and Lotto Teams for the first few games to tie you over. Last reminder, the lines are taken from vegasinsider each morning and are the  Fan Duel Value. Pushes always favor the higher seed.  -Good Luck!    - Commish

64 U-pick - Korynet    ! New Process !
As detailed below, there is a new process in town. I've partnered with Run Your Pool to collect and manager Korynet 64 U-Pick entrees this year. It's a 2 step process. 
Step 1: sign up for a free account.  USE THIS LINK
or copy and paste the url below

https://www.runyourpool.com/p/j/7b3e024e19294ffbb66589880a8651d3

It is important to start with this link.  It's the "invite" link for Korynet. Fill out your details, it's free to sign up. It's free to play*  *(I will collect your beans separately, like usual. Note, it does cost me (on the backend) per bracket submitted, so no test brackets or otherwise .. you get the idea. )
Step 2: Once signed up you will see "MAKE YOUR PICKS"  button along with all the other resources availalble. Tip: If you are submitting more than one bracket - Which is totally cool, please do so! - make a point to rename your pick. You can do this during the process of afterwords. You are in control! 

Note, Run Your Pool software has a mobile app!   Once you sign up you can use your same credentials with the mobile app and track the pool and your picks on your phone.  There are other cool -real time - reports that I will highlight as the week progresses but I wanted to get this info out asap.   It's going to be a wild ride - thanks for all that participate!

3.3.2023
New Era begins!
People, Korynet is BACK- AGAIN! Another exciting year, with a fairly significant change. It turns out the software I've been using for  most of the time here at Korynet is no longer in business. Doug (ya, a one man shop ) at Turbo Tourney is retiring and he's taking his 1990s code and company with him. I've tried hard to keep this site as 'old school' as possible but fear not, this change has some upside. I'm excited to announce a new partnership which will bring some modern updates to us all such as a Moble App, real time updates, additional reporting and more. Stay tuned for new links and new tricks in the coming few weeks. On a negative note, the new service bring with it  some added costs. Not much, but you will see some revisions in beanouts to accomidate. Also I think we will be saying good bye to the 16 U-Pick. (most likely)  It was a great "2nd chance" Pool but always played 4th fiddle to the main events. In addition say good bye to the offical NIT challenge. Anyway, thanks for your patronage and check back often. It's going to be another great event!     - -Kory
