March Madness Pool


Each entry gets a randomly selected team in the NCAA tournament. Point spreads are used (half points are always used to avoid ties). The spreads will be announced the morning of each game day and will be an average of lines on espn.com and other sites. If you have the favorite, your team must win and cover the spread to move forward. If you have the underdog, your team can either win outright or lose by less than the point spread. If the underdog loses by less than the point spread, the person with the underdog moves forward, but now has the team that won.
