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!
First
PM sent
Thanks for running this again. PM sent.
This site’s new PM system sucks dick
But sent. And thanks for running dude
PM sent. Thanks for running again.
I am sending in the messages option under your screen name. Is there a PM option that is different?
It must be different.
I'm still on the 2p2 site in a browser window, so it still looks like the same Private Message system that it's always looked like to me.
Anything that comes through there I'm not sure how to access it.
My messages send the same as always I think
What mine looks like
Reported the post to see if a mod can help you guys or anyone else on mobile figure out how to send PM's to me, or how I can view those PM's.
They aren't going to my PM box but I don't see anywhere else in the browser window to access those messages.
Try sending a PM to Max. He's really good about responding and fixing any bugs that he's informed of.
Zimmer, have you tried checking your PMs on both versions of the site? Maybe if someone sends from the new version it doesn't make it to the old version inbox?
There's a new version?
That's what it is I bet. I just went to my messages on the new version and I have a PM I never saw that is not in my normal inbox. To get to messages on the new site I had to click username at top right>my profile>message then there was a list down the left of messages. There may be an easier way to get to them, I don't know. I'm also on my desktop, not mobile, so it may be different on a phone.
New site: twoplustwo.com
Old site: forumserver.twoplustwo.com
Edit: the little quote button at top right takes you to messages on new version
Also, if you haven't used the new site before you'll have to log in there with the same login/pw you use here.
Good to know Mark. I'll check the new site tonight and see if I get them therep
Why in the **** are you ****ing around with anything related to the new system.
You should be logged the **** off when you are browsing this website and only logging in to tell our lord and savior Zimmer that you are in
I'm going to take 1 in the 300. I'm assuming your Zelle hasn't changed?
Also looking for heads up site action. Message me if interesting. Regs only.
Your message gave me an error when I tried to respond on the new site (twoplustwo.com). I sent the details on the old site (forumserver.twoplustwo.com)
All new site messages have been responded to and all PM's on both sites are now responded to.
As always, if you want to enter, PM me on either one and I'll get the info to you.

If your name isn't on these lists, please fill out the Google Form I sent over and send me your payment.
Any brackets for which payment is not received by Noon Eastern on Thursday will be disqualified.
Just to be clear, we can wait until the play-in games are finished to finalize our brackets. right?
