NCAA 2024 March Madness Squares Pool

On the bright side, it's sometimes a pleasant surprise to discover where you are!

Don't worry guys, you'll discover the secret when it's your time:

part of elder reflection is pondering what they were up to around the same time you were young
after all, they were the tall people in the background of your earliest memories

At what age do i start to become part of the elderly?

When I was young it was 30. How much time do you have left?

To 30? Negative 15 years and 9 months. Lol

ruh-roh 😉

But you were spry enough to respond before I could edit my post from "When I was young" to "Back in my day ..."

elder acknowledges a difference in age while elderly sounds judgmental

Are OOT posters the oldest of the bunch on 2p2? I know a bunch of you are SE regs as well, but you'll always be OOT OG's to me.

Yes

I think The Lounge is where all the OMCs hang out

This is what I was thinking.

doesn't get much more elderly than the lounge

Update:

All but 2 people have paid. 1 of them is marknfw, who I asked to wait in case the claimed squares aren't paid for, as he volunteered to take them if needed.

Once all squares are paid for, I'll need a volunteer to hold the names list once I randomize it. I will randomize it 5 times.
The first 10 names will go vertically in column 1. Column 2 will get names 11-20, and so on. After the name list is randomized and sent, I'll need 2 lists of numbers, 0-9, randomized. I'll take the first list to use across the top, which will be the winning team score. The 2nd list will go down the side, to represent the losing team score.

I anticipate being ready no later than monday, 3/18. So if someone can volunteer to hold the names list once ready, I'll be able to send it once completed. Thank you!!

You'll have time to review. At least 1 full day before the tournament starts, likely 2-3 days prior, it'll be finished and posted here. Thanks for volunteering!

Somewhat disappointing news for you guys - I won't be available to update during the weekends. I started dating a new woman and she lives a couple of hours away, and weekends are the time we can be together. So official updates will be either late Sundays, or on Mondays. The good news is that payouts won't be impacted as the championship game is on a Monday and I'll be home watching that game, will update final results immediately afterwards, and begin payouts promptly. I fully expect not to win anything as karma for missing most games and not updating as each game is finalized.

Thanks for understanding!!

Yes, very disappointing you getting laid, cokeboy.

I was on a roll with updates last year. Real time results mixed with humor. I just hate to disappoint my audience. Lol

She doesn't have internet access to allow updates between rolls in the hay?

We are going to a waterpark with her family and I'm not going to plan for time to jump on and update. I want to focus on time together and be present with her, and everyone else. I'll try to update if possible but make no promises.

I'm not sure that her family will be impressed by such a display of irresponsibility.

I had already requested Thursday/Friday off from work, planned to spend 4 days doing nothing but watching college basketball. Plans ruined. Women are the rake.

Good for you, cokeboy. Hope it goes well.

Reminds me of my first job in Denver. I was there quite a long time. Each year about this time, I'd have accumulated enough vacation where I was in "use it or lose it mode". It became my habit to go out for lunch on the opening Thursday, take the rest of the day off and Friday, watching NCAA hoops mostly the entire time.

i'm sure the rest of us will scrape together some way to have fun without you
