  HEY ALL IN WGT LAND, I GONNA DO A MARCH MADNESS TOURNEY!  Nothing do due with golf the NCAA brackets is what I'm talking about.  i MIGHT CAP THE AMOUNT OF ENTRIES TO FIRST 100 BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT WORK INVOLVED AND IF THEIR IS A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF INTEREST! 

  I'm going to set it up as follows: 
  

  ROUND 1=1 POINTS/WIN

  ROUND 2=2 POINTS/WIN

  ROUND 3=3 POINTS/WIN

  ROUND 4=4 POINTS/WIN

  ROUND 5=6 POINTS/WIN

  ROUND6=10 POINTS/WIN

  TIE BREAKER WILL BE TOTAL SCORE OF CHAMPIONSHIP GAME

  THE ENTRY FEE WILL BE 1 SLEEVE OF GOOD BALLS,  I HOPING THIS WILL DRAW A FAIR AMOUNT OF PLAYERS.  SORRY I DO NOT HAVE A BILLION TO OFFER FOR THE PERFECT BRACKET LIKE MR. BUFFET LOL.  ALL ENTRIES MUST BE IN BY END OF DAY WEDNESDAY.  I'M THINKING IF ENOUGH PEOPLE ENTER PRIZES CAN BE GIVEN FOR TOP 3 TO 5 PEOPLE.  FOR EXAMPLE 10 PEOPLE ENTER -6 SLEEVES TO WINNER, 3 TO SECOND AND 1 TO THIRD.  I'M OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS BUT I'M WILLING TO DO THIS IT WILL TAKE ALOT OF WORK ON MY PART JUST TO TABULATE THE PICKS.  PLEASE, IF ANYONE HAS BEST IDEA ON HOW TO GET ME THE BRACKETS PLEASE POST HERE.  FOR NOW I'M THINKING JUST MESSAGE ME YOUR COMPLETED BRACKETS AFTER POSTING HERE YOU WANT TO PLAY AND SEND A FRIEND REQUEST!  LASTLY,  I WANT TO LIMIT IT TO 1 ENTRY/PERSON BUT I KNOW THE MULTI-ACCOUONTERS WILL ENTER MORE THAN ONCE BUT WORST COMES TO WORST THEY WILL STILL PONY UP A SLEEVE PER ENTRY.  LASTLY A DISCLAIMER I WILL TRY TO POST SOME RESULTS BUT THIS IS VERY LABOR INTENSIVE DEPENDING ON THE AMOUNT OF ENTRIES AND I WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR LOST BRACKETS-SORRY.  TY-GDOG8

  Hey GDog,

  My uncle has this spreadsheet he does for the NCAA brackets.  He uses it with the mens' clubs he belongs to.  He does a bit over 2,000 entries every year. I've done data entry on it a few years back ... it's really easy to do.

  I don't know if he'll share ... it's one of those "for me" spreadsheets.  I can ask him if you're interested.

  As for distribution of the brackets ... set one up using a word processor and convert to a pdf file ... then setup selections as fields on the pdf.  

  Setup a google-drive (or one of the other browser drives) and post the share location where players can download the pick sheet, make selections and upload the pick sheet.

  Sorry ... I won't be participating ... totally love NBA, but can't stand NCAA basketball.

  JUST A REMINDER THIS IS NOT A GOLF TOURNEY!  THE TOURNEY INVOLVES PICKING THE WINNERS OF THE COLLEGE BASKETBALL TOURNEY  HERE IN THE U.S. KNOWN AS "MARCH MADNESS "  PLENTY OF SPOTS LEFT TO FILL. THANK YOU-GDOG8
