    Hey everyone

    seeing if there is any interest in doing a march madness bracket challenge.

    $5 to be sent to the winner via your/their choice of money transfer ie paypal, venmo etc. this is on the honor system, dont be lame and enter and not pay up $5

    I set up a private group on ESPN

    Why play for fun when you can play for monies? Just make it $5 an entree.
    How many entrees is the question

    I have it limited at 1 entry but I could change it if thats what the people want.

    also, im fine with $5 entry, just didnt want to have to manage all that shit lol

    #4 6 years ago

    I'm in for the $5, and I hate basketball but why not at least make it a little fun.

    #5 6 years ago

    okay, do we want to pool the money in one account or just go on faith and have each pinsider paypal the winner at the end? if they do not pay we can ridicule them and ostracize them from any activities in the future

    #6 6 years ago

    I say deal with it after w/ paypal.

    Quoted from TheLaw:

    Yeah much easier, and way less responsibility on one person to handle cash. I'd say winner be ready to collect some paypal and venmo for your efforts/luck.

    #8 6 years ago

    Not a lot of action so far haha. Tsskinne and I have a 50% chance of winning right now

    #9 6 years ago

    I'll get around to it. I have 3 or so to make for my work pool.

    #10 6 years ago

    Just posting a pic of a bracket I filled out before I noticed InfiniteLives March Madness topic here on the forum.
    This particular bracket of mine is not part of the Pinside $5 bracket challenge.
    Just posting it before the round 1 tournament games get going.

    If it's only going to be the 3 of us we should raise the buy in to $25

    Pinball-is-great The play in games dont matter, you can still enter the pinside one.

    "Other brackets are only viewable after the round of 64 in the NCAA tournament begins on Thursday.
    tsskinne has selected a champion for this bracket and is ready to compete. Check back Thursday March 15th to see who tsskinne has selected!"

    Oh sorry I think you're looking for the 2019 bracket pool!

    we are going to all send the money individually to the winner when its all said and done on the honor system

    You (or anyone) can steal my picks. I haven’t watched any college basketball this year, but always March Madness. This is more of a donation for me...but you never know! Makes it fun to watch

    Cool. I think we should all shame anyone that doesn't pay up by leaving negative feedback for them.

    #31 6 years ago

    This is cool - thanks for setting up - I'm in - good luck to all - these brackets make it a little more fun to watch for sure.

    #32 6 years ago

    I just joined. Good luck to everybody.

    #33 6 years ago

    Ha oh shit...I just entered in my Pinside pics and realized it was from last years group...and a diff'rent site altogether

    #34 6 years ago

    #35 6 years ago
    Quoted from Electrocute:

    #41 6 years ago

    Holy shit guys I didn't see till now Virginia goes down to a 16 seed! Awesome... Even though J had them in the finals. Just when you thought Arizona and WuShock was a big enough upset.
