By popular demand, the first Threshold RPG March Madness Pool is making its debut! Thanks go to Isaviel for finding a site that hosts "office pools" to make management simple and to Serith for running the Super Bowl pool that got this trend started.

The cost to enter the pool is $10.

The prizes are as follows:

1st Place: 60% of the total pool
2nd Place: 30% of the total pool
3rd Place: 10% of the total pool

All prizes are in registration credit. Prizes do not count towards the monthly item lotto.

Before signing up, you need to make a registration payment by credit card or by online check for $10.

MAKE SURE YOU INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING TWO WORDS IN THE COMMENTS (for online check) OR OTHER INSTRUCTIONS (for credit card) FIELD:

MARCH MADNESS

After looking at some online pools and discussing this with some interested sports fans on Threshold, I decided to go with the "Variation" scoring method:
  • Round 1 = 2 points for every correct pick
  • Round 2 = 4 points for every correct pick
  • Round 3 = 6 points for every correct pick
  • Round 4 = 10 points for every correct pick
  • Round 5 = 15 points for every correct pick
  • Round 6 = 20 points for every correct pick
