**Cigar.com March Madness Brackets Game

  Simple March Madness brackets contest that we have done here for years.  Will be on yahoo sports and use their default scoring.

Buy in will be around $30 in sticks, nothing too crazy.  Your choice... Four 8 dollar sticks, or one 30 dollar stick...whatever.  We can all be reasonable here knowing that bundle budget sticks shouldn't be included.  Also, we all know Cubans list for $10 there---are not 10 here.  Likewise, Gurkhas listed as $20 msrp, can often be found for a quarter of that.  Be reasonable.

Payouts will be between the top 10-25 percent of participants depending on how many we have...to hopefully spread the fun to a little more than a winner take all type. 

Who ships to who will be decided upon first come to sign up. 

If you are interested please reply here that you are in, and I will PM you the invite link along with the password to join.  Brackets open up in a few days and the tourney starts in a week. 

Any questions feel free to ask, otherwise...let's all have some fun.

    As it stands now----with 7 People, we would have winner getting 3 packages, 2nd place getting 2 packages. 

    It looks like 2 payouts is what will happen in the pool this year...a little less than winner take all, but helps to spread the wealth and Im sure everyone will take care of those who do the bracket busting:)  Still time to sign up everyone.
