- Having multiple winners is easy when you're playing for money and simply have to separate the pot by percentages. It's a lot more complicated when you're playing for CD bootlegs (and other goods) pledged individually by separate members. Under your scenario, what happens if the best prize (say, for example, someone pledged a valuable poster) was pledged by the person who finished in last place? Would it then be fair that the best prize goes to the third place winner rather than the first place winner? And how do we judge the "value" of prizes when some pledges are potentially more attractive than others? Add to that the extra work I'd have to put in PMing separate people separate addresses and having to manage sent/received updates from three separate winners, and it's simply too much confusion.
I thought it was just all bootlegs. Didn't look at the pledges to notice any posters or more valuable items being pledged. I can see where that could be a monkeywrench in awarding out.

Thanks for being so accommodating and explaining everything at a busy time. It's a testament to you how much the pool has grown. I'm in multiple pools- some for large sums of $ but I always talk about this and the Superbowl pool as the ones I'd like to win most. Appreciate what you do.
Whie I think it is great you have 'opened' the pool back up to more participants, I do believe you should have some sort of number when you cut people off. What if 100-people join? 500? It will become a logistical nightmare for you, and I feel would take the 'fun' out of it for you as well. Just my 2-cents. Thanks again for orgainzing this, but I would cut it off at like 50-people tops...
Keep in mind...for about $20...you have the chance to win upwards of 25-boots...or more! Now that is a hell of a deal...Ya know what I mean 'Mamasan'????
30 is a nice, round number. I'm going to close up the board here. A few members have still not PM'd me their addresses, so we might end up with less than 30 (I'll delete any members from the pool if they have not sent an address by next Thursday).
Rather than PM you all individually (that takes a lot of time), I'm just going to post the link to the pool and the password here. If you're not signed up for the pool, please DO NOT sign up. You will be deleted if you do so.
If you are participating in the pool, PLEASE SIGN UP FOR THE POOL WITH A TEAM NAME THE SAME (OR VERY SIMILAR) TO YOUR USERNAME ON THIS PEARL JAM BOARD. Doing so will make it much easier for us to know who is who, and for me to keep track of who has/has not joined the league.
Finally, I don't assume that all members check this thread every day, so if you are playing and are close to any of the other participants, drop them a line and let them know that the link is live here. That will save me a bit of trouble down the road.
There are a couple people signed up for the pool whose names I don't recognize from this thread:
peggio joseph waller
Liquor Box Noriyaki Morita
Anybody want to lay claim to either of these? I'm suspecting they may be infiltrators who aren't actually signed up to play. If nobody here claims them by Thursday they will be deleted and banned from the pool.
Thanks.

JK36392-Try logging into your yahoo account, then look for the NCAA link on the main page. It should promt you to join a group, or do something else. Try it without using the link. Hope it works for you....

Good luck to you all...not that I'm wishing for the rest of the favorites to fall or anything

Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.

Michigan and Harvard could crush your bracket though... You better hope Marquette gets to the final 4 for you to be in contention. Damn I love the madness!!!!
