What is this?
A March Madness Squares Pool is a completely random, neutral EV sweat for every game of the 2021 NCAA Tournament. That's 63 independent sweats for the price of one, so yeah it's pretty much the greatest thing ever. See previous pools to get a feel:
Still confused? No worries, just ship your escrow and enjoy the ride. You'll catch on after the first couple games and I'll be posting the winners of each game as we go.
I'd highly recommend sending early to avoid any transfer limits we'll hit as we get closer to the tourney.
We're not reserving squares, it's first-come, first-served.
Let us goggogogo...

The Fine Print:
- Payouts are based on a game's final score. (not end of regulation)
- There will be no refunds in this pool unless the entire tournament gets cancelled. If games are cancelled or forfeited, we'll distribute that game's funds to previous winners. (details to follow)
- There are no payouts for the "First Four" play-in games.
- If this pool doesn't fill up by Wednesday, March 17th at 9PM EST we'll switch to half stakes/double squares and refund all the squares after the first 50.
- 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. I'll post this list in the thread once it's published.
1. Gonzaga 2. Baylor 3. Illinois 4. Michigan 5. Alabama 6. Ohio St. 7. Iowa 8. Houston 9. Arkansas 10. West Virginia 11. Texas 12. Kansas 13. Florida St. 14. Purdue 15. Oklahoma St. 16. Virginia 17. Creighton 18. Villanova 19. Tennessee 20. Colorado 21. Southern California 22. Texas Tech 23. BYU 24. San Diego St. 25. Oregon 26. UConn 27. Clemson 28. Florida 29. LSU 30. Loyola Chicago 31. North Carolina 32. Oklahoma 33. Missouri 34. Georgia Tech 35. Wisconsin 36. Maryland 37. St. Bonaventure 38. Virginia Tech 39. VCU 40. Rutgers 41. Syracuse 42. Utah St. 43. Michigan St. 44. UCLA 45. Wichita St. 46. Oregon St. 47. Georgetown 48. Drake 49. Winthrop 50. UC Santa Barbara 51. Ohio 52. North Texas 53. Liberty 54. UNC Greensboro 55. Abilene Christian 56. Morehead St. 57. Colgate 58. Eastern Washington 59. Grand Canyon 60. Cleveland St. 61. Oral Roberts 62. Iona 63. Drexel 64. Hartford 65. Mount St. Mary’s 66. Texas Southern 67. Norfolk St. 68. Appalachian St. - This pool is mostly first come, first served, meaning we're closed when 100 squares are paid for. However non-hsnl regs or guys who are high maintenance may get bumped from the pool.
- To save time I'm going to pass on any 'label each of my squares different' requests this year, and ask everyone with shared action to manage your own individual squares totals and payouts. Since both the grid and numbers lines are randomized, I'd suggest that "YourName 1" is your top-left most square, and so on.
- RULES ADDENDUM FOR FORFEITS OR CANCELLATIONS
- If a single game is cancelled or forfeited, that game's payout will be awarded on the next game upstream in that branch of the bracket. Payout will be based on the halftime score instead of final score.
- If the tournament gets cancelled mid-round, all remaining payouts will be evenly distributed to game winners in that current round of the tournament.
- If the tournament gets cancelled in between rounds, all remaining payouts will be evenly distributed to game winners in the previous round of the tournament.
- If the tournament gets cancelled before starting, all entries will be refunded.
- Check your squares and post or PM if you spot any errors on the grid or payout tables in the OP. Payouts will start 48 hours after tournament ends to give everyone a chance to catch my mistakes. Payouts will ship in the same order as when your escrow was received: first in, first out. This usually takes 2-3 weeks to work through because of transfer limits. If you bink a square PM me how you'd like to be paid out, and send any info I'll need. We usually travel a bunch for games over the tournament so I may be out of touch but I'll eventually get caught up.
