Gontram Architecture’s NCAA Pool is now underway! Entries were due by 11:00 am EDT, 3/17/16. (So, if you didn’t get in this year, make sure you register so you are notified in advance of next year’s Pool.)
The first day of competition has lived up to the Madness that is this month of March. Several upsets, as always. Several tight, but predictable games. And, my bracket is already in the dumpster.
In our Pool, only one perfect bracket remains. Almost 60% of all entries picked either Kansas or UNC to win it all. And, no less than 12 entrants are intentionally trying to lose in order to win the horse’s butt trophy. Check out the reports to follow the Pool HERE.
Since 1998, Gontram Architecture has hosted its NCAA Pool for the Men’s Division I tournament. This year, as in years past, there is NO entry fee, but lots of great prizes to be won! There’s even a nice trophy for the biggest loser. The pool is open to anyone, but only one entry per person, please.
New for 2016: Jim Valvano’s words in his 1993 ESPY speech, “Don’t Give Up . . . Don’t Ever Give Up!”, have motivated millions of people to battle cancer and find a cure. His dream of curing cancer is still not realized, but is closer because of his inspiration. This year, for every Pool entry received, we will donate $1 to The V Foundation for Cancer Research. Participants also have to opportunity to give towards our “team” HERE, but it is not mandatory to play in our Pool. We just wanted to give back to the organization founded by one of the most memorable personalities of this special Tournament.
