  Tournament History
     3/5/02
Quick.. Who won the 1976 NCAA Tournament? Ok.. that one is easy. -How about 1981? 1974? Here's a convenient list of all past winners. Tournament History

    Tourney Rules   

  U Pick 'em
     3/9/04
Simple enough.. get points for correctly picking the 64 team tournament. Rounds are weighted 1,2,3,4,5 and 7. Tie breaker is correct picks first round, then second round then final score total. 5 beans per bracket.

  Lotto
     3/9/04
Same as last year, 3 to get in.. the winner gets a ton!
A one time drawing will occur before the first game of the tournament. Each pick will cost only 3 jelly beans. The winner AGAINST THE POINT SPREAD of each game advances.

Here's an example. Let's say tonight's game has the number 1 seed playing the 16th seed. The Star & News (which will be the official spread for this pool) has the number 1 seed winning by 12 points. If the number 1 seed wins by a 12 point margin or better.. The person who picked that team advances. The person who picked the 16th seed loses. If, however, the 16th seed team beats THE SPREAD by making the final score margin less than 12 points, the owner of the 16th seed now takes ownership of the 1 seed ticket. If the 16th seed team were to beat the number one seed in this example then the owner would of course keep that ticket. Don't let all this confuse you. Our crack staff will make sure that it all goes down the way it should. You don't really have to do anything but root for your teams. Every pick has the same probability for winning. Winner takes 110 Jelly beans, 2nd place gets 50 and 3rd and fourth get 16 each. Any teams not picked will be donated to the house.

  Auction
     3/9/04
This instant classic needs no explanation. The final 16 teams are auctioned to the highest bidder. For each victory your team gets you get a percentage of the pot. 1st win 5%. 2nd win 5 %. Third win 10 %. The winner wins the remainder.

  16 Lotto
     3/9/04
There will be a blind draw for the 16 teams. there is NO Spread with this, what you pull is what you get. 10 beans a pull. The beans pay out are: 4th and 3rd get 15. 2nd gets 30 and 1st gets 100. I would like to see 16 different people in this on.. come on folks.. wudda ya say?

  16 U Pick 'em
     3/9/04
Simple enough.. get points for correctly picking the 16 team tournament. Rounds are weighted 1,2,3,4. Tie breaker is final score total then correct picks first round, then second round. 5 beans per bracket.

  SUPERGRID!
     3/9/04
This exciting new option (courtesy of the Beedub's Brain trust) allows ALL participants an option to win for EVERY game in Tournament! As the tourney progresses so does the payout, so that the final game is worth a whoping 30% (That equates to 150 beans for a 5 bean investment) The kicker is that you are elegible to win for each and every game!
HOW IT WORKS:
There are 100 "slots" on an x-y grid labled 0-9 on each axis. The axis represents the higher seed vs. the lower seed. When the score is final, the owner of the grid-box with last digit for each teams score, wins that rounds payout.

Payout Schedule:

First Round 20%, 2nd = 10%, 3rd = 10%, 4th = 10%, 5th = 20%, Final 30%

Payout Example: for a full matrix of "5 bean slots" = 500 total Beans

round "beans" 100 50 50 50 100 150
per Player 3.125 3.125 6.25 12.5 50 150

Detailed Rules:
Seed ties? If 2 of the same seeds meet, then it goes by record. Watch the game and see who is considered "home".
Blanks? In the event that not all spaces are occupied, the payout for that square will be added to the final payout for the final game. If the final game score grid is blank, the higherseed score will be added to by one until a winner is determined.
