    Ok lets try this again....

    I am so stoked for this years NCAA b-ball tourney! I also can't wait to kick ass at filling out some brackets!

    I need 61 people to participate. In order to participate you will need to have a Yahoo account, and you need to have succesfully completed 2 trades and a LIF/BIF.

    You will be assigned a number based on when you notify me of your interest in this LIF. If you do not win, and the winner chooses your assigned number, you will be sending the winner a box of beer.

    The box will be decided by the participent that is in 1st at the end of each round. If you accumulate the most correct picks in a round, you will decide 1 beer style that must be in the winners box. So by the end of the tourney there is a minimum of 6 bottles of beer for the box. (example. If you are ranked 1st after the first round, you can decide that a stout must be in the winning box)

    *There will be 1 winner, and only one person will need to ship a box. The loser that needs to ship will be picked by the winner. The winner will have no knowledge of who is assigned to each number.*

    If the selected person goes MIA and is a horrible person, I hereby nominate myself to send you an awesome box of goodness... you have my word.

    You can post, or message me that you are interested.

    can't catch a break with any of you guys. screw all of you haha. I'm over it. It is nearly impossible to put together something as simple as a bracket pick em. pick some damn teams to win, if you are good at it, you win some beer. I will let someone else set it up.... I know I know, I signed up in 2013, I am like the damn devil and have no idea how to ship beer, or drink beer for that matter.


    I need some new people to sign up so I can at least be a sophomore. crap!

    Sorry for the jab. It's all in fun.

    Realtalk: I think there will be many NCAA tournament opportunities on this site in which you can participate but they won't likely start until closer to the tournament. I think the negative reaction to your first post was because generally people don't organize LIFs without some skin in the game. People that want to try for a chance at free beer usually just participate in LIFs. If you want to run the show I think you need to be putting a box on the line. Super Bowl squares for instance: organizer either wins or loses like the rest of the players.

    If you want to play in a march madness LIF on BA and need a sponsor, send me a message. Cheers.

    No worries, I know it was all in fun... i just wanted to bitch and moan for a second to keep things interesting (I hate Tuesdays!). I have a guess the weight of my unborn daughter LIF where I am tossing a box out to the best guess (Get in on that LIF if you haven't already).

    I guess I will just sit back and join one in a few weeks, and take notes for next year. On paper I thought I had an awesome idea nailed down. But you better believe if there aren't 28 seperate march madness BIF/Lif and everything in between I am going to make one again! haha
