Welcome to March Madness 2025
What's new: The entry form is posted here
For those of you who have entered my pool before, welcome back. If you're new, here is a quick run-down of the rules.
  1. Entry fee is $5. You can pay me with cash, check, or PayPal. If you want to pay using PayPal, please do not use a credit card even though it will let you enter one on the PayPal screen. The fees they charge ($0.50 per entry) aren't worth it. I want to keep all of the money in the pot for the winners.
  2. You must pick all of the games with the exception of the play-in games.
  3. Scoring is as follows:
    • First round = 1 point per game
    • Second round = 2 points per game
    • Sweet 16 = 4 points per game
    • Elite Eight = 8 points per game
    • Final Four = 16 points per game
    • NCAA Champion = 32 points
  4. I must receive your entry before the start of the first game on Thursday. The play-in games do not count, so you can wait until after those results to make your picks if you would like.
  5. The split of the pot will depend on the number of entries. Typically, it's been 75% for first and 25% for second.
  6. In order to win, you must be smarter than the average bear and beat the dummy "Pick the Favorites" entry.
  7. If you are the last-place finisher, you get your $5 back. Call it a sympathy gesture to make sure you come back and play again next year.
  8. Pay your entry fees ($5) here via PayPal
  9. If you need to mail your money to me, my address is:

    • John Senger
      5379 Duskywing Dr.
      Rockledge, FL 32955

If you have any questions, please let me know.
