Twitter NCAA 2008 March Madness Charity Pool
Jeff Hinz started this idea and I love it, so we’re going to run with it. We’re going to have an NCAA Men’s Basketball 2008 March Madness Charity Pool.
The suggested bet is US$25 into the pool. Bets close before the 3rd round.
How to enter: post a comment on this blog post with:
- Your name
- Your bet
- Who will win it all
- What the winner’s final score will be (tie breaker)
Example:
- Christopher Penn
- $25
- North Carolina
- 101 points
Alternately, you can copy and paste a link to a photo of your brackets, as I’ve done with Flickr, into the comments. Just be sure to include the tiebreaker score.
The person who “wins” - i.e. their team goes the furthest - gets to pick a charity and everyone in the pool donates to that charity. For example, if North Carolina - my pick - wins, then I get to decide the charity and we all pay. Jeff picked Washington State, so if they go the farthest, he picks the charity and we all pay. If we have multiple bets for the same team, the score is the tiebreaker.
In the event of a total tie, we either split the pool or the winners can decide which charity gets it.
Who’s in so far:
- Me, $25, North Carolina, 101 points
- Jeff Hinz, $25, Washington State
- JHirsch, $25
- Kristen Forbriger, $25, Louisville
- GloriaKT, $25, North Carolina
- John Wall, $25, Memphis
