Another thread was asking for this so here you go.
We've created a LetsRun.com NCAA bracket over on Yahoo. Yahoo and Quicken Loans are off course offering $1 billion if you are perfect with your ballot.
If you join the LetsRun.com pool on yahoo and win the $1 billion, you hereby agree to share the $1 billion with everyone else who joins the pool.
We're all in this together. If you want to be greedy and keep the billion to yourself, then don't play in the LetsRun.com pool.
The group name is LetsRun.com. You can join it below:
After you join, you have to "Register" for the $1 billion challenge to be eligible for that so please do that.
Note: If you have a perfect ballot, obviously the scoring system doesn't matter as you were maxed out on the points. But if you plan on winning without being perfect, please realize I picked a scoring system for our bracket that rewards upsets.
The scoring system I picked was the default yahoo scoring of 1-2-4-8-16-32 but with the Seed Differential bonus.
For any correct picks where the underdog wins, you will receive bonus points equal to the winning team's seed minus the losing team's seed.
So it's not a lot but if you pick a 10 seed beating a 5 seed you are going to 6 points. It helps a lot in the first round.
It gives hope to someone who crushes the first round.
Anyway, we'll also maybe offer some of our own prizes.
I'll have to talk to uppermanagement to see what they think but at a minimum we'll give out this IAAF World Indoor backback:

Now that's some swag.
