The Road to Kory's..       2008!
Welcome to the 12th annual NCAA Tournament for the Jelly Beans! Can you believe that this is the 12th year? Actually this is the 13th, as a few of you will remember the glorious Glenbrook years where 10 of us decided to try a pool for the first time. Wow, has time changed! I hope you Enjoy! As always.. Good luck! And may the best man/woman win!            -Kdog

Proudly sponsored by: Kory's Basement Bar and Grill. "THEE place" for all your March Madness!!!

 


   Site News: Monday, April 7th 2008   

  And the winners are....
    4/10/08    4/10/08
Congrats to all on another successful year! This year we saw the return of McNay to the auction, a record bid at the aution (thanks inpart to "mystery Proxie Bidder x" and a few other notables. Next Year we'll introduce the "Invitational/throwback" bracket.. I'll up the 64 lotto fee (again, there more interest than spots) and that's about it

Thank you all and as always, it is because fo YOU that this site exists!

2008 U Pick Winner: Jones. About time this sideline critic got a ring. Congrats Jones for getting on top and staying there for most of the tourney. Barrys top entry netted him 292 beans. Runner up: Coach. -This long time donator finially was in the hunt. 73 beans for his efforts.
2008 CHUMP of the Year award: BrianH. Worst picks ever. Sure, Little Miss Anna had a lower total BUT SHE WAS TRYING FOR IT! Poor Brain thought he had an legitimate bracket! 5 beans goes his way along with a year's worth of harassment!
64 Lotto Winner: TStew. The return of the ugly win -literally. With a key steal toward the end, TStew gets 100 beans for his efforts. Runner up: JennN. (This Rookie had a extreamly high ROI!) 50 beans goes her way. 21 beans goes to 3rd and 4th: Steve and Dave.
2008 16 U Pick Winner: JohnS. Johns took this "winner take all" and nets 100 beans for his effort.
2008 16 Lotto Winner: Steve! 100 beans go his way.
16 lotto also-rans:2nd place (and
30 beans) goes to EShawn while 15 beans goes to JohnS and BrianH

NIT Tourney Champ: With a healthy Tuesday evening turnout, this annual guessing game has stood the test of time. TStew Wins 13 beans in a nail biter. It took the last game batlling Kdog to come uo with a winner. Good job (PUNK!)
2008 Auction big winner: EShawn!. -This fella met himself (there's some sort of reach-around joke there) in the finals and netted a TOP aution total payout. This event was also the best in years! Thank you "secret proxy bidder" and McNay for elevating this event to it's former glory. The 87.50 (yes .50) beans EShawn played netted him a big 266.50 beanout. see the other results here
Lastly the SUPERGRID. ShawnR was the big winner with his ownership of the 5 7-8 box. He got 2total games land in this spot with the final game netting him 100 beans, and a 2nd round game with 10. See the "Bean-out" grid below for other big winners.
2008 Deep Pockets Award: ShawnR. -this is the 4th year in a row that ShawnR has proven, it takes beans to win beans. Note to other commisioners, try to have your auction on Shawns day off Every year. Invite this fella...;-)

While this is not 100%, I also have calculated an ROI (return on investment) for the top winners.

Jones tops the chart with 630%. JennN was in 2nd but only put in 9 so.. Steve rounded out the top 3 with 138%. For those keeping track ShawnR went back in the red, but not by much.

  Almost done.
    4/7/08
One more "big" bean out, up for grabs -everything else is on automatic pilot. Due to the late nature of tonights game there probably won't be a summary posted here until Wed. or Thurday. Good luck to all! Commish out

JenN and her Memphis tigers are favored by 1.5 over TStew and his rock chawk Hawks

Here is a link to the results of all the NCCA Men's basketball championships to date. Enjoy! Tourney History

    Tourney Rules   

  U Pick 'em
     3/12/08
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
     3/12/08
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
     3/12/08
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
     3/12/08
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
     3/12/08
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
     3/12/08
Modified in 2007! This exciting option (courtesy of the Beedub's Brain trust circa 2004) allows ALL participants an option to win for EVERY game in Tournament! (2007 edit: Now starts in the sweet 16) As the tourney progresses so does the payout, so that the final game is worth a whooping 40% (That equates to 100 beans for a 5 bean investment) The kicker is that you are illegible to win for each and every game!
HOW IT WORKS:
There are 50 "slots" on an x-y grid labeled 0-9 on the x axis, double numbered on the Y. The axis represents the higher score vs. the lower score. When the score is final, the owner of the grid-box with last digit for each teams score, wins that rounds payout.

Payout Schedule:Modified in 2007! -First round has 8 winners, ANY win that round nets you 5. Next Round 10. 35 for the championship round and 100 for the Champ!

Why? This way there is a big payout at the end and significant payouts for the final four, and the champions. Remember EVERY square is "Live" for every game from the sweet 16 on. -Coolbeans indeed!
