Would anyone here be interested in joining a 100 squares type Tourney pool?

I'm running one on another site. Trying to fill it in completely before tomorrow. Similar to the super bowl squares with the final score, but it is paid out on every tournament game. The amount paid out increases each round.

$10 a square. Payouts would be as follows:

Round 1 = $5/game x32 games = $160
Round 2 = $10/game x 16 games = $160
Round 3 = $20/game x 8 games = $160
Round 4 = $40/game x 4 games = $160
Round 5 = $80/game x 2 games = $160
Round 6 = $200

I'm thinking to make payouts easy I would keep a tally and pay every Monday after all games are done so I'm not paying more than once a week.



Edit: The winning square is determined by winner/loser scores, not by seeding or home/away. So if a final is 75-68, square 58 is the winner.

Last digit of winning score is the first number and last digit of losing score is the second number for the square

It is similar to super bowl squares if you've ever played that. It takes the last digit of one team and last digit of the other team. Where they intersect is the winner of that game.

Send $10 for each entry y'all want to my paypal. rdallen_18@yahoo.com and send as a gift. Just tell me your username when you send it. I already have most spots filled in, and I'll ask you what squares you want from what is still available. To be fair we'll go first come first served in square selections. I'll post the final grid when it is filled so you can follow along.

Is the only way someone can hit the 100 square by having 2 teams score over 100? Like 101 - 100?

It would make more sense to start at 00 and go to 99.

That way if it's 90-80 then the 00 gets the win.

Also no one will want the 00/11/22/33/44/55/66/77/88/99 because they will have slightly less odds because if the regulation ends in a tie with your numbers... they go to overtime. I know 10, 20, etc. point wins would still count, which is why it's only slightly less.

Yep. Any score like 80-70, 70-60, etc hits the 00. Same with 11. 91-81, 71-61.

That's true. But somewhat surprisingly, the score that's occurred the least since 1985 isn't one of those. It's occurred only 9 times in the last 32 tournaments, while the other scores have occurred an average of 20 times.
