The objective is to have the most total points at the end of the tournament. You pick players that score a lot but also on teams that you believe will advance. Been a lot of fun the last few years. Last year we had around 20 guys which made for a pretty nice payout.

All the proceeds are paid out to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place.

You choose players from teams as follows: (for a total of 20 players overall)

from #1 Seeds: Max of 3 players
from #2-4 Seeds: Max of 6 players
from #5-7 Seeds: Minimum of 5 Players
from #8-10 Seeds: Minimum of 3 players
from #11-13 Seeds: Minimum of 2 players
from #14-16 Seeds: Minimum of 1 player

The rules and instructions for entry are on the leaguesafe page.

Would love to have anyone that wants to play. The payments are due tomorrow and your list of players are due tomorrow by midnight.

I will be happy to answer any questions



Here is full list of rules emailed to us:



Here are the rules.

2015 NCAA Basketball Player Pool


Rules: Each participant must adhere to the following rules:


1 You must select 20 players from the tournament field.


2 A maximum of 3 players may be selected from the #1 seeds.


3 A maximum of 6 players may be selected from the #2-4 seeds.


4 A minimum of 5 players must be selected from the #5-7 seeds.


5 A minimum of 3 players must be selected from the #8-10 seeds.


6 A minimum of 2 players must be selected from the #11-13 seeds.


7 A minimum of 1 player must be selected from the #14-16 seeds.


8 Players from the teams in the early round games will not be counted,until play begins on Thursday.
9 The total number of points that your roster accumulates throughout the entire tournament will determine the winners.
10 Tie breakers are as follows:
1. Pick the National Champion.
2. Pick the total points of the National Championship Game.
3. Pick the actual score of the National Championship Game.
1 Payouts are determined by the number of entries.
2 Your sheet must have your name and phone number on it or it will not count.
3 Pick up a USA Today on the Monday following the Sunday selection shows. This is the easiest way to fill out your sheet. Every player and their stats are in this paper.
4 Entry fee is $20, and GOOD LUCK!!!


The only thing scored is points, the person who's 20 players score the most points over the course of the tournament wins. There will be periodic updates during the tourney, probably after each weekend is over.


I'm looking for a head count of who will be participating. You are more than welcome to invite others to join. I will be setting up the leaguesafe account with the owners (participants) as i get them. You can pay at anytime once you get your leaguesafe invite. The deadline for payment ($20) is wed. march 18th at 11:59pm et. If you pay your $20 and dont submit a sheet you will be reimbursed your full $20. We'd like to get people in and paid asap so we have an idea of how many participants we will have. This is a very labor intensive pool to run so the earlier we get things going the better for those that are running it.


This entire pool is done by hand via spreadsheet so theres no site fees or secondary fees. 100% of the pot will be paid out to winners. The number of places paid out will be determined by number of sheets we get.
