BigFlax.com 2007 NCAA Tournament Challenge

    There are currently 18 participants in the BigFlax.com 2007 NCAA Tournament Challenge; the winner will take home $75, second place gets $10, and the last-place finisher gets a refund, although this assumes that everyone gets me their money. Additional info can be found in the rules. (The bonus rules have been changed a bit for this year, so please re-read the rules to make sure you know what's out there.  I doubt the new rules will affect anyone - I'm really just covering my bases - but you never know.)

First up, the brackets: East | Midwest | South | West

The participants:

Alma* | Arlene* | Chris Q* | Craig* | Dad* | Drew* | Flax* | Jan* | JD* | JQ* | Justin* | Karen* | Nemo* | NJ Dave* | Paulionis* | Rudnik* | Ryan* | Tyler*

(* - paid)

Here's the day-by-day leaderboard.

4/3/07, 12:00 am CT: Florida 84, Ohio State 75.  Arlene $75, JD $10, Alma $5.  JD no longer needs to send me anything; the people below do owe me, but it looks like everything should be on its way, at least, so that's good.  That's all, folks!

Outstanding monies: none.  Congrats to everyone for helping me make this the first year since 2002 that I didn't have to cover anyone's entry fee out of pocket to pay the winner!  Arlene and Alma will receive their winnings shortly; James, if it's all the same to you, I'll probably just give you the five bucks (besides the five you recouped without having to mail off) at TRASHionals.
