Refunded, need to resend via PayPal "Friends and Family" which saves you 3% vig and protects me from chargebacks after your feckless squares go 0 for 63.

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:

Yea PSA they don't even call it friends and family anymore, they just ask if you want "purchase protection" (you do not!).

Thanks bosoxx05, this will be our Underdogs Line.

It'll take a couple hours to draw up, post the squares grid, and create a printable pdf.

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

aej,

In years past you've escrowed this pool so I'm sending you the secret Seed Lists.

tyty,
Adam

Here's a printable pdf of the squares grid:
2020 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. (list will be posted on Selection Sunday)
  

There are plenty of squares left in the Second Chance Pool and everyone knows those are the lucky squares so you should probably snap one up goggogogo

$600 for 2 squares via PP.
Note: Launching point.

Thanks again!

Refunds

Refunds will be shipped in the order received: main pool first, then second chance pool. It's going to take a while b/c of transfer limits. (example: we've got $24.6k of Venmo funds in escrow but they only allow sending $3k/week)

No waiting option: If you want to get paid asap, PM your mailing address and I'll ship out a check.

If you shipped via Venmo or PayPal, and only want to be refunded via the method you shipped, do nothing. I've got your info and you'll get refunded when it's your turn.

If you shipped via Zelle and only want to be refunded via Zelle, PM me the email (or phone number) tied to that account and your zip code. When receiving an incoming Zelle transfer, it only lists your name, and I don't have a way to refund without more info.

If you're ok with switching to a different payout method, PM info for all payout methods you'll accept (PayPal, Zelle, Venmo) and you'll get the quickest payout when it's your turn.

Damn it! I had big big plans for all my winnings this year. Thanks for the prompt refund.

Shipped all PayPal, Zelle, and check payments in both pools.
Here's the refund schedule for the remaining 13.8K in Venmo escrow.

If you don't want to wait send me your info for PayPal, Zelle, paper check, or cash in San Diego.

Subbed to be notified of the 2021 version.

Loved the whiteboard bracket picture, that's funny.

One thing I didn't see was the cost. $100/square?

$300
