    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 out of distro beer. Send a box you would happy receiving
    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?

    So the object is pick winners *first* and then finding lower seed winners are second priority for tiebreaks.

    What happens if you are unable to pick, for example all teams in final four are previous personal wins?

    Pick teams you dont think will make it all the way. If you like an 8 seed, but believe they will lose vs the 1, grab the 8. If the 8 loses, you are out.

    You can also see who everyone picks that day as well. Which makes it interesting.

    I don’t know if I have the trading history and it’s been a minute since I’ve been on BA to participate in one of these, but if you’ll have me, I’d love to join in - and I’m from Canada so I can bring some new ticks to the table for probably almost anyone, even though I’ll offer up a US shipping address if I happen to luck out and win.

    Couple hours till the tournament starts. It will be more difficult for me to send a link post 11am EST. Get in while you can!
