We'll scramble the pool per this method, making adjustments as needed for a tournament instead of a single game.



::: SCRAMBLE STEP 1 :::

Declare the two axis:
The higher seeded team (or "Favorites" by seed, not spread) are on the x-axis, which is the number line on the top.
The lower seeded team (or "Underdogs") are on the y-axis, which is the number line on the left side.


::: SCRAMBLE STEP 2 :::

Seed the list. I've seeded the list of 100 bets using an undisclosed method and sent it to a past escrow of this pool: aejones.


::: SCRAMBLE STEP 3 :::

Generate the Squares Number List that determines who gets which square based on the seed list.

Audience participation time. We need a volunteer to do these steps:
a. Go to the sequence generator at random.org
b. Enter in smallest value: 1
c. Enter in largest value: 100
d. Press the "Get Sequence" button
e. Copy and paste the generated list of 100 numbers in this thread
Volunteer must meet these criteria:
i. is not me or one of the pool escrows
ii. has a 2011 or earlier reg date
iii. has at least 100 posts
I'll quote the first post after mine that does this correctly and that will be the Squares Number list.

Big thanks for running Admo. I will donate 10% of my eventual winnings to a charity of your choice. Pretty selfish of me cause it`s guarenteed to give so many karma points me and homanga will sweep the whole thing.

Seed list for 2nd chance March Madness squares pool

Aaron,

You've escrowed this pool before so I'm sending you this Seed List in advance in case anyone cries shenanigans. No action needed.

2015 HSNL Second Chance March Madness Squares Pool

Notes:
  • Payouts are based on a game's final score, not end of regulation.
  • When two teams match up in the tournament with the same seed, we'll use the NCAA Selection Committee's ranking of all 68 teams to determine which team is on the favorite line and which is the underdog.

Thanks for all of the hard work Admo, GL All!
03-18-2015 , 11:26 PM
Admo,

I sent $600 yesterday for two (2) squares and posted confirmation of my BofA transfer with the last four digits of my account. I think I may have been missed? Please let me know.

Thanks!
03-18-2015 , 11:37 PM
Sorry for the aggravation, I know running these things is a pain and you do a great job with it every year. Hoping I can still get in the pool somehow as I sent yesterday and have been in the pool for the last four years.

Need to include confirmation #, BOA doesn't use last 4 of account any more. This was explained in the escrow instructions in the OP graphic.
