Rules
All players will have to sign up for an account on the Donut Pool website (www.donutpool.com). You will have to supply your name, a valid e-mail address and a password. Once logged in to the site, you will have to create a new player (alias) which will register that player in this year's Gomish Pool. I will have to activate your account before you will be able to make picks. This will happen only after I receive your entry fee of $10. This fee is due by 11 a.m., Thursday, March 20.

You will choose one team from each seed (16 teams in all) and if that team wins, you will get points based on the scoring system above. Your points are tallied to give you an overall score. The individual(s) with the highest score wins. If there are any ties, the money for each position will be combined, then split among the players who tied.
