Marana Rotary March Madness Fundraiser
2012 NCAA Pool
The Marana Rotary Club will be doing a March Madness pool fundraiser to raise money for our club's foundation. Selection Sunday in on Sunday, March 11 - picks need to be made by 9:30 A.M., Thursday, March 15.
We are doing this online at poolhost.com.
If you are new:
1. Go to poolhost.com.
2. Click “Register” on the left side of the page and create an account.
3. Once you’ve registered and logged in, you should see a red button that says “Join a Private Pool” in the middle of the screen. Click on that and select “March Madness Bracket Challenge!” The pool’s login name is marana and the password is rotary. Once you join, you can access the league by clicking on the blue “My Pools” tab on the left side of the screen.
4. Once you’re in, you can click on the “Make Picks” tab to fill out your bracket. Once you’re done, click on “Standings” and make sure the box next to your team is green. That means your picks are complete. If it is red, you aren’t done.
Rules:
This is how the scoring works:
Round 1 games are worth 1 point.
Round 2 games are worth 2 points.
Round 3 games are worth 4 points.
Round 4 games are worth 6 points.
Round 5 games are worth 8 points.
Round 6 games are worth 10 points.
Payouts:
Fees are $20 - with half of the entry fee going to the Marana Rotary Foundation. Of the remaining $10 per player, the winner will get approximately 75 percent of the pot with the second place player getting the rest. So let’s say we have 14 people entered, the payouts would be about $105 and $35.
