What is this?

A March Madness Squares Pool is a completely random, neutral EV sweat for every game of the 2016 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:

2016 | 2016 (2nd Chance) | 2015 | 2015 (2nd Chance) | 2014 | 2013 | 2012 | 2011

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 and there's a two square minimum because the bookkeeping is a soul crush.

Like last year, we may run a second pool if this one fills up early.

Let us goggogogo...

Here's a printable pdf of the squares grid:
2017 HSNL March Madness Squares Pool
This link will be live after the grid is scrambled.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

The Fine Print:

• Payouts are based on a game's final score. (not end of regulation)
• There are no payouts for the "First Four" play-in games.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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. If requesting Stars, I can probably accommodate via the xfer thread. I can also send out via PayPal, but will limit it to 3 xfers per week to avoid being flagged again. We travel a ton for games over the tournament so I may be out of touch but I'll eventually get caught up. Hit me up if you're going to Phoenix for F4 -- Our rental house includes a sweet boat this year.
