Re: *** HSNL $1K MARCH MADNESS BRACKET POOL ***

Notes to myself for next year's pool.

We had problems with scammers in the pool this year signing up to scrape hsnl email addresses.

Instead of CBS, use any provider that allows the admin to set up email = hidden as the default. If none can be found, use Yahoo instead of CBS. Their scenario generator is pretty sweet.

Pay 2-3 spots if the main pool is > 50 entries? All pools this year were locked up before any F4 games were played, resulting in zero sweat.

Revisit round weighting. Too much emphasis placed on picking the nat'l champ? Consider Fibonacci.

If anyone has any other suggestions, bring 'em on.

Re: *** HSNL $1K MARCH MADNESS BRACKET POOL ***

I used to run a pool in the past that had a unique scoring system. It was something like 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 + the seed number of the team the correct team was picked. For example, if you picked Arizona (12) to make the Sweet 16 this year under this scoring system, you'd get 13 points for the first round and 15 points for the next round. This system is weighed towards upsets obv. The benefit to this system is that you can gain a lot of points on the field if you go out on a limb and pick a 10 seed to make the Sweet 16 and they do. It creates for a lot of strategic picking in the 1st and 2nd rounds.

I would have to look for it, but there was also a way to run your own website with the updates. Picks are made there and you can run an 'auto eliminate' feature once the field reaches the Sweet 16 and it shows how many possibilities each runner last left to win. I haven't used this program in over 5 years, but it'd work well for a pool of this type.

We had 1k Upset Pools both this year and last year; they're just not very popular in hsnl.

This year's upset pool had seven entries, last year's had three.

I don't see any reason to to change the scoring system then. If it's weighed differently, a lot more emphasis would be on picking the NC. This way a person can play themselves out if they tank the 1st an 2nd rounds. It's a matter of preference, but I think these games should count heavily in the scoring.

In order to have more sweats, 1st through 3rd could make money.
