    Here are the details -

    32 Participants
    44oz MIN of good quality beer to enter
    Teams will be drawn once spots are filled (Wednesday night at latest)


    Here are the rules: Your entry gets you a team from each side of the bracket and the winners are decided by the spread. If your team covers the spread but does not win the game, you inherit the other team. (ex Syracuse -35 vs IUPUI. Syracuse wins by 30 whoever had IUPUI gets Syracuse) All ties go to the favorite. All teams are drawn at random. The lines will be taken from USA today the morning of the games. I will updated everything through a google doc. If your team makes the final four, you get beer

    Winner of championship - 15 boxes
    Runner up - 9 boxes
    2 other Final Four teams - 4 boxes each

    If interested, send me a BM with the following:

    Name
    Address
    Phone
    email

    Cheers

    Forgot to add you need either a trading history or someone to vouch for you that does (they are responsible for sending the box if you don't)

    I dont think so... 15+9+4 = 28 --- 32 people join, winning 4 dont ship right?

    There are 2 final four winners, so that makes 32 boxes

    That was completely overlooked... I run this for $$$ and just converted it over to Beers. The winner of the championship game will not ship. The payouts will be as follows:

    Winner of championship - 15 boxes
    Runner up - 8 boxes
    2 other Final Four teams - 4 boxes each
