18th annual LRT Men's NCAA Pool - Web Entry Form

The Living Room Times basketball pools are free to enter, and the prize is simply bragging rights -- or Eternal Glory, as I like to say.

The complete rules are here. The most important rules are:

1) One entry per person, please (but entering brackets for kids or pets is perfectly fine, with the provisos stated on the rules page);

2) You must provide a valid e-mail address (it will NOT be made public); and

3) If at all possible, please enter with your real first and last name. Anonymous, psuedonymous, first-name-only, Twitter-handle-only, etc., entries are not allowed -- at least not without discussing it with me first. Again, details and a full explanation are on the rules page. If this rule poses a serious problem for you, please contact me at irishtrojan [at] gmail.com so we can figure out a solution.

With regard to the other fields below (school affiliations, where you live, etc.), I don't need all of that information from everyone, I just need some info from everybody, so you aren't just an unknown name. Basically, I want to have some meaningful way of identifying you in pool updates on Twitter and my blog. After all, it's hard to have meaning "bragging rights" if nobody knows who you are! But a full biography is not required. :)

Failure to comply with the rules may result in disqualification from the pool. Again, please contact me if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks and good luck!

NOTE: The deadline is 12:20pm Eastern Time on Thursday.

I have decided NOT TO COUNT the Tuesday & Wednesday "First Four" games. So if you think, for example, that EITHER St. Mary's OR Middle Tennessee will win in the Round of 64 or beyond, pick "MTSU/StMry" and you will get credit if EITHER team subequently wins in the main bracket.

People who entered their picks before this rule change will not be disadvantaged by it. They will have their First Four picks automatically changed to, for example, "MTSU/StMry" (or whatever the equivalent alternative pair of teams is).

Anyone can change their picks by re-entering at any time before 12:20pm Eastern Time on Thursday. Your last entry will be assumed to be the "correct" one, and all earlier entries will be discarded.


Your Name (first and last, please; see above) **

Basically, is there anything interesting about you that might make good fodder for a tweet or blog write-up if you're doing well in the pool? :)
