2025 March Madness Pools

I'm back again to run the pool this year. I will escrow the money for the pools and am collecting zero fees for doing so.

Keeping the entry fees the same as last year. One $75 Pool and one $300 Pool.

Rules

I'm going to run through Yahoo with the same scoring system as we've always used (2-3-5-7-11-15). Allowing a max of 4 brackets per person in the $75 and 3 brackets per person in the $300. Payouts will be determined by number of entrants, probably paying out around 3-5% of the entries depending on how many people enter. All brackets must be paid for by Noon Eastern on Thursday. Any Brackets that are not paid for by noon will be declared ineligible. If you send $$ after noon on Thursday, your bracket will be disqualified and your money will be returned.

All entries must follow the format of Bracket Name = "2p2name" (1 through 3)

So for my 3 brackets in the Yahoo site, it's

Zimmer4141 (1)

Zimmer4141 (2)

Zimmer4141 (3)

Payment

This is a cash only pool. I'm not a crypto guy, I don't accept BTC or other crypto as payment. There are 2 ways to pay me.

Paypal or Zelle. That's it. I refuse to use Venmo after having issues with them three years ago.

Put your 2p2 name and your 2p2 name only in the memo line. Do not put anything related to gambling, madness, basketball, any of that. Don't be an idiot.

Entering

Send me a PM if you're interested. I will send you a Google Form to fill out, the link to the Yahoo pool with password, and my Payment Information.

You may invite friends of friends to participate, that is totally fine. If you want to coordinate on behalf of a non-2p2 member, send me a PM and I can send them an email with the details. Please do not share pool details and password without my approval.

This will immensely help me track payments and entries. I'm working a full time job and am now a father of two, so I'd greatly appreciate if you make this as easy as possible on me.

Please post in this thread after you've submitted your payments and brackets and we will track entries in this thread as a double check to make sure everything's squared away.

Happy bracketing!
