Here is a link to the pool signup: http://y.ahoo.it/RQ4asANy
It will be $10, only 1 bracket per person. I will have the winnings breakdown once I see how many people are in the pool. If you need my address to send the money to me shoot me a message. Money will need to be postmarked or handed to me before the first games start on Thursday morning. The password for the league is warriors. Feel free to invite others. Let me know if you have any questions!
And all proceeds go to MUScoop's server fund, that's very generous.

Hahaha. If you and the other Mods take the top 5 or so spots!
Paypal?

No. I am pretty sure your brackets are a charity event, with donations to MU Scoop, right? I mean, the gambling laws are broken a million times over in just about every office come every March, but you wouldn't advertise that illegal activity on a traceable online site, right?
How generous of you to think of MU Scoop.
Speaking of which, MU Scoop should host a community tournament challenge with all proceeds going to Al's Run. Complimentary winning t-shirt to the pool winner. I graciously decline the offer to set this up.
If this really could get Scoop and/or myself and/or participants in trouble I apologize and you can take it down.
Otherwise Paypal will work, didn't think of that. Shoot me a message if interested.

What makes you think that? ;)

I joined up, everyone should.

Here's a FB link with information for the pool. Feel free to invite your friends.
Anybody know this wadesworld (Patrick Foley) guy?
Apparently his $10 NCAA pool was just a rouse/scam to line his own pockets.

Mmm no, it's not. Relax, it ended 3 days ago and I threw this pool together 2 days before the start of the Tournament. Wasn't exactly the most organized, well planned pool in the world, so with people just naming their team "MU/UW FTW" I don't have a clue who the person is, and many people haven't paid. I know you paid, I know you won, I have an email out to people who have not paid and who I do not know. If you want I can give you the $60 I have and just keep sending you $10 as it comes in, but that loses $0.60 for every bracket on Paypal. You'll get your money when I get (at least a majority of) the money.
Given your astute communication skills, I'm shocked to hear you're having organization issues.

Sorry have been busy with more important things in my life right now, like supporting a 15 year old who less than a month ago was told he was cancer free after almost 10 months of chemo and various surgeries and then last week was told he had 12-16 weeks to live. Maybe your superior organizational and communication skills can be put to good use in helping us find some awesome activities we can have this kid do for the next 12-16 weeks. I'd ask if you'd be interested in donating your winnings to a good cause for a family in dire need, but clearly this $160 (maybe?) is way too vital to your living situation. My bad for delaying that. I'll send you the $60 I have through PayPal after work today and I'll give you a list of the bracket names and Yahoo Usernames of those who I do not have money from and you can use your superior organizational skills to get the money for them more quickly than I am able to.
Friggin tool.
Go MU!
There are few things in life more important than paying someone the money you owe them, but you have certainly pointed one out.
Still, it seems to me that if you are willing to manage a pool and collect money from people you don't know and have never met, you should anticipate they won't be falling over backwards to understand your situation when payment comes due. I don't think KC_Warrior is a tool.
Prayers to Greg.

So a guy can't wait 3 days without throwing a hissy fit on the internet, and he's not a tool in your book? Are you his wife or something?

Or handle it with a polite, direct message using the ever so convenient private message system.

Good point. I wonder if KC_Warrior ever tried emailing him? Maybe we should ask that question?

No, but would you send my regards to yours?

Better than douche of the month, I suppose.
Just sticking up for someone who thought he got stiffed over the internet. I know how much that sucks.
A simple PM would have sufficed better than trying to name and shame without asking what was up, especially when it's been 3 days.
Yes, getting stiffed sucks. I'm sure that wadesworld feels that it sucks as he tries to collect from 10 people who haven't paid up yet. Anyone who's ever ran a pool knows that it's not always as quick as you'd like.

Yeah. I've been busy. Haven't had a whole lot of time on my hands since Saturday. $100 is in your PayPal account. More will be on its way as more people get me their money. Relax.
