Please note the four play-in games are not applicable to the pool. If you like one of the two teams, you will advance the slot (as was the case in years past for the 16^th seed play-in game). If either team advances, you will get credit for the win.

Checks in the mail are no longer accepted. I will only offer exceptions if you email me directly and I approve it. Anyone who has sent checks in the past and it arrived after the deadline are not eligible.

If your entry fee is not in by March 19^th, you will not be able to participate in future pools. To those of you who have been paying late in the past, I am no longer being lenient. To the vast majority of you that pay in advance, thank you for making my life easier.

If you have any questions at all regarding the pool, the administrative fees or have problems entering your picks online, please e-mail me.
