    I ran this last year. If you participated last year, you were automatically sent an invite via runyoorpool dot com. If you meet the standard requirements below message me and I will send you an invite. If you participated last year and sign up I will confirm with you.

    Pool Rules:

    You pick one team to win each day of the tournament (the deadline is when the first game of the day starts). If they lose (or you forget to pick), you are eliminated. Once a team has been used, you can not use them again. Only the main 64 teams that make up a standard bracket are included (i.e. the play-in games, or 'first four', are NOT included). Tie breaker is the total seeds of all the teams you picked. Again this is each DAY Thursday-Sunday, Thursday-Sunday, then Saturday/Monday not each ROUND.

    Beer Rules / Stakes:

    1. You must have a minimum of five trades @ 100%.
    2. 66oz of 90+ rated beer that is out of the winners distro, limited, beer you'd like to receive, etc.
    3. Ship by May 15th. (Tournament will end first week of April)
    4. Express your interest below and I will send you the invite and password. I'm using Runyourpool.com
    5. IF YOU HAVE A PICK IN AT THE DEADLINE ON DAY 1 YOU ARE PARTICIPATING. You can't lose Day 1 and then say, "Oh I didnt know what I was doing, blah blah blah, etc. etc." And if you place a pick, lose and disappear from BA, I hope all your IPAs are forward dated 6 months older than you think they are and diacetyl is in all your barrel aged stouts.
    6. <10 participants we'll ship to 1st and 2nd, 10-20 we'll ship 1st, 2nd, 3rd. >20 and I'll leave something in the comments.

    Thoughts, comments, questions?

    I WILL BE OUT OF TOWN AND WATCHING MARCH MADNESS ON WED 3/15 AND THURS 3/16 WHEN THE TOURNEY STARTS. PLEASE PLAN AHEAD AS MY ABILITY TO MAKE SURE YOU GET REGISTERED, ANSWER QUESTIONS, ETC. WILL BE LIMITED AFTER TUES 3/13.

    I'm in. Got to defend my 4th place finish last year. Survivor for the tournament was so much fun last year. Can't say enough about it!

    I believe there was a question pertaining to the tie-breaker. It would only apply for the top 4 people. If both are out on the same round, how is the tie-breaker setup. I remember it being weird last year.
    It might also matter in terms of 4-5 place finishes.
    Just throwing it out so it can be addressed early.

    Tiebreaker will be sum of seeds of teams picked.

    I think the online site may have not posted that correct last year. I don't recall exactly, but we'll know in a few weeks. It's been stated here, so there should not be any issues now.
    Can't wait to get started. I'll take @surlytwinsfan box!

    If I need to manually adjust from what the site lists as standings I will do so. Sum of seeds is tiebreaker if 2+ folks make it to the end or are last eliminated in the same day.
