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 an undisclosed 2+2'er.


::: 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 2015 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.

Here is your sequence:

::: SCRAMBLE STEP 4 :::

b. Enter in smallest value: 0
c. Enter in largest value: 9
d. Press the "Get Sequence" button
e. Copy and paste the generated list of 10 numbers in this thread

Volunteer must meet these criteria:

i. is not me, kkcountry or a pool escrow
ii. has a 2015 or earlier reg date

I'll quote the first post that does this correctly and that will be our Favorites numbers line.

2019 HSNL March Madness Second Chance 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.
  
  
  

let us gogoggogogo

Admo just letting you know I don't have the post history to PM but my buddy CalledDownLight will send my info in his PM to you. Thanks for running this!

Thanks admo for running again.

Thanks for running this Admo- fwiw the money is right (which is what matters!) but the bracket shows Tommy winning the second chance championship game and not me.

Still waiting to hear back from one straggler, but apart from him everybody's payed out. Big thanks to everyone who volunteered to switch their payout from Venmo to PayPal or Zelle b/c of transfer limits. If it wasn't for you guys we'd still be paying out the pool through the Series.

Unrelated: I'm selling shares this year to a soft WSOP schedule, have about 15% or so left.

This year's pool is open goggogogogogogo
