Last call is tonight at 9PM PDT. If we somehow don't fill by then, we'll double squares and scramble. First timers will get bumped by regs, and refunds will begin on Monday after first rounds of games.

We'll scramble the pool using the same method in year's past.



::: 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 aejones
ii. has a 2014 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.

Thanks Rawlz517, this will be our Underdogs Line. I'll need a couple hours to draw up the grid.

Here's the PM I sent to aejones before we started the scramble:


Aaron,

In years past you've escrowed these pools so I'm sending you these Seed Lists prior to scramble in case anyone cries shenanigans. No action needed.

Thx brotha,
Adam

Here's a printable pdf of the squares grid:
2018 HSNL 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 pre-tournament ranking of all 68 teams to determine which team is on the favorite line and which is the underdog.
