Monona 2009 NCAA Pool

In just another of my amazing contributions to the city of Monona, I have set up an NCAA college basketball pool over on ESPN's Tournament Challenge web site. You must enter before the games start at 11 AM on Thursday, March 19. Nothing is at stake, except bragging rights....

You will have to register for a free ESPN account.

This message is from Doug Wood who is challenging you to play Tournament Challenge on ESPN.com.Get in on the excitement of this year’s NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament. Compete against other fans as you fill out a bracket and earn points for every correct pick! Come out on top and you could win $10,000. Get a group together and earn plenty of bragging rights amongst your friends by winning it all. Best of all, it’s free to play and win. Get in the action now:

http://games.espn.go.com/tcmen/group?groupID=16460

Group: Monona Doug
Password: monona

Please note that this group is 'private', which just means that you need to enter the password "monona" to enter the pool.

The pool is also 'locked', meaning you cannot change your picks after the tournament starts. Not that I don't trust you, but hey, this is the NCAA tournament!

The scoring rules:

Round 1 - 10 points per pick
Round 2 - 20 points per pick
Round 3 - 40 points per pick
Round 4 - 80 points per pick
Round 5 - 160 points per pick
Round 6 - 320 points per pick

  1. I heard that this type of activity is illegal. Should elected officials be advertising this type of activity?

    No, NCAA Pools are NOT illegal. As I stated in the post: "Nothing is at stake, except bragging rights....".

    I also find your moral relativism interesting. If something is illegal, shouldn't everyone avoid that activity and not just elected officials?

    Again, this pool is just for FUN. Don't sign up if you don't want FUN. Otherwise, please do join us.
