    Ok, today is the day! We have 95 people signed up. Final Payouts are as follows:

    1st- 22 beers
    2nd- 18
    3rd- 14
    4th- 11
    5th- 8
    6th- 6
    7th- 4
    8th- 2
    9th- 1

    If any other entries are submitted between now and the start of the first game, the final payouts will not change. If more people sign up, anyone who places directly after 9th place will not receive beer or ship beer. For example, if we have 3 more people sign up, then those who come in 10th place through 12th place will not receive beer nor ship any beer. As I said before, I will let everyone know who will be shipping to who after the tournament is over. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks to everyone who signed up! Looking forward to a great tourney in addition to winning that $Billion$!:wink:

    Cheers!

    Josh

    Today is not looking good for me. Of course I thought about the upset before I finalize. The Pitt/CO game I was just flat out wrong on it seems.

    Yea, for some reason Yahoo! isn't showing all of the standings at 1 time. As far as I can tell, the only way to see everyone's bracket is to click on "Members" and browse through them individually. Hopefully they fix it soon.

    I think its actually the first 50 to sign up. Hopefully it gets fixed by end of the day

    I swear a couple games ago it was 5 people tied for the #1 spot, then a bunch of people tied for 6 spot. now its 9 people tied for #1 and the next bunch tied for 10 spot. was I just not seeing everyone before? how could the amount of people who had perfect brackets have increased.

    maybe I was looking at my other bracket but didn't think so. whats the deal with only 50?

    I noticed it too... not sure what the deal is though. It seems like there are all kinds of issues with Yahoo! right now

    I can't seem to log into my yahoo account.. But my Bracket on ESPN and the 1,000,000,000 Bracket challenge are both 100% Perfect through 12 games.. Hopefully I filled out the same for this challenge but I might not have!

    I'm seeing similar things. I was appearing in the standings and now I'm not...even though I am higher then some listed. Assume its a technical glitch!?

    Yahoo constantly has issues first day of the tourny. I remember it the last two years. It'll get fixed shortly. I'm hurting right now but all sweet 16 teams remain so that's a plus.

    Looks like that's about to end. New Mexico and Umass aren't looking too hot.

    I jumped from 78th to 11th over t he weekend. Looking at a few brackets, seems everyone has the same teams. I still have all my final four, 6/8 elite 8 and 12 sweet 16 teams. Fingers crossed. If I finish top 9 I'll be happy.
