March 2006
It is with deep sadness that I announce that the NCAA pool will not be held this year. Bev and I will be in China when the bracket is announced and during the first two rounds of the tournament. See you in 2007. -- Bruce

Many thanks to Virtual Light of Santa Monica, CA and its portly CEO Jim Sweeney for again hosting the pool entry forms. |
"One shining moment!" Congratulations, worthy winners! This year's hard fought pool ends in a tie between veteran Barb Wurth and newcomer Art Dalglish. They split the $96 payout and the sincere admiration of all the participants. Drop them a congratulatory note. An eligibility question has arisen in the pet category. SAMMI is believed to be the runaway winner, but a protest has been lodged by dog/attorney Rufus. Pending a DNA test of SAMMI - to be performed by Rufus - this award will be held in trust. Unless, SAMMI would like to be heard by the Commish .... |

1. As always, the more the merrier. Newcomers are always welcome. Multiple entries are encouraged, but please use different names to avoid confusion. Deceased pets are especially welcome, as they have generally outperformed their humans.
2. The pool is conducted in two stages. In the first, one must predict the first weekend's games (rounds 1 and 2) plus, as bonus picks, the advance winners of the four regionals. The entry deadline is Thursday, March 17, noon EST. The second stage, the entries for which are due Thursday, March 24 (noon EST), covers the remainder of the tournament. Second stage entries are not bound by first stage picks.
3. Entry fee is $3.00, which can be left for Bruce Moon in a variety of ways - under his door in Maginnes Hall (208), in the International Relations office (Maginnes 207), or collected by designated pool officials in regional offices. The single entry fee covers both stages.
4. The winner is determined by total points. Points are earned for correct picks as follows:
| Round 1 1
point Round 2 2 points Regional bonus 5 points |
Regional semis 4 points |
5. The first-place finisher wins 75% of the pool. The second place finisher wins 25%. The entry with the highest number of correct upsets and the highest percentage of correct upset picks wins the respect and admiration of everyone.
