64 Try & Survive Pool

This is a unique pool which will use the "line" of each game

to determine who advances to the next round. If the team you own covers - you advance. Cover means that either the

favored team wins by more than the line OR the underdog team wins, loses by less than the line or ties the line. The line

to be used will be taken from oddsshark.com (or equiv.)

The pool will cost $50 to enter. Select one of the 64 numbered squares on the web page

The squares will only serve to let us know who has joined and what number to match them with. Once the pool

is filled and the entry fees paid we will draw the 64 teams' names at random. The 1st team picked will correspond to the

person selecting square number 1, the 2nd team picked will go to the person selecting square number 2, etc. until all

64 teams and owners are matched up. They will then be placed on the NCAA bracket for everyone to follow. Because

we will be using the daily lines made up by the experts in Las Vegas the odds of advancing should be equal for each team.

Teams and owners will be determined after the play-in games are completed.

See the examples below for further details.

Example 1: Owner A gets Florida as their team and Owner X gets Winthrop as their team. Florida plays Winthrop

in a 1st round game. The line for the game is Florida by 20 points. Florida wins

by exactly 20 points 82 - 62. Florida therefore does not cover the spread and Owner A loses and is out

of the pool. Owner X is the winner and now is the owner of Florida for the next round.

Example 2: Owner B gets Georgetown as their team and Owner Z gets Pennsylvania as their team. Georgetown plays

Penn. in a 2nd round game. The line for the game is Georgetown by 7 1/2 points.

Georgetown struggles but ends up winning the game 74 - 66 by 8 points. Georgetown therefore covers the

spread and Owner B is the winner and advances with Georgetown to the next round. Owner Z loses and

is out of the pool.

If you stay in the pool until the Sweet Sixteen you will finish in the money. Each round after that the prize money will
