Money Leagues NCAA Tournament Winnings

12:09 AM ET on 4/15/15 by Jay Soester

Congrats to Chris Prentice for taking the top spot in our ASFL2 Money Leagues $5 NCAA Tournament Pickem Pool.

Prentice's winning total of 107 was the best total since the scoring changed in 2012 and earned him $207. He edged out last year's champ, Thomas Courtney, and Joseph Alperto at 103 points. Courtney won the tiebreaker for the second spot and $55 while Alperto settled for $27.50. This is Courtney's second season in a row finishing in second place. John Tabaska (101 points), Todd Pfander (99), Brandon Moore (99), and Robert Goldenberg (98) finished fourth through seventh to earn their entry fee back for finishing in the top 10% of the 73 paid entries, but outside of the top three. Had Wisconsin won the championship game, Courtney would have topped the pool with Tabaska in second and Pfander in third.

First Place: Chris Prentice ($207)
Second Place: Thomas Courtney ($55)
Third Place: Joseph Alperto ($27.50)
4th Place: John Tabaska ($5)
5th Place: Todd Pfander ($5)
6th Place: Brandon Moore ($5)
7th Place: Robert Goldenberg ($5)

Thank you to everyone that participated.

MLB Day-to-Day Pickem Available

12:56 PM ET on 3/15/15 by Jay Soester

The original ASFL2 Fantasy Game, MLB Day-to-Day Pickem is back after a one year hiatus. Pick one team to win each day through the MLB regular season. You get points for correct picks and lose points for incorrect picks with correct pick streaks gaining more points as you go. The only catch is you can't pick the same team to win more than twice in a given game week.

For those that haven't taken part in any previous incarnations of the game, I suggest starting out with the rules page. The number of playoff qualifiers won't be determined until I have a feel for how many participants there will be, but I don't anticipate changing from the usual 25.

I need a volunteer to set and announce the DMUs each week and I'll need multiple volunteers to help update scores through the season. If you're interested, please reply to the game thread.

Please let me know of any issues with the game immediately via email or the game thread.

Money Leagues NCAA Tournament Winnings

4:18 PM ET on 4/19/14 by Jay Soester

Congrats to Tom Courtney for taking the top two spots in our ASFL2 Money Leagues $5 NCAA Tournament Pickem Pool. It's the first time in the history of the game that someone has taken the top two spots in a pool.

Courtney's winning total was just 79 points, still five more than his second place entry. David Kise was tied for second, but officially third, with 74 points as well. Only two other brackets reached the 70 point mark. Only five of 31 entries had two Final Four participants and none had a team in the Championship.

First Place: Tom Courtney ($93)
Second Place: Tom Courtney ($31)
Third Place: David Kise ($15.50)

Thank you to everyone that participated. Winnings have been sent via PayPal.

NCAA Tournament Pickem Available

9:08 PM ET on 3/17/14 by Jay Soester

The ASFL2 NCAA Tournament Pickem group is now available.

The ID is 9119 and the password is 123456. I've also emailed invites to everyone from last season.

Remember the scoring format is 1-2-4-6-8-10, not the traditional format.

I'm aware of the problem some have had with Yahoo!'s registration process requiring a telephone number. The game thread on the league message board will be updated with developments in that regard. You can track Yahoo!'s twitter help feed (and tweet to them with problems) as well as their help Facebook page.

I'm open to having a $5 NCAA Tournament Pickem pool, if enough interest is shown in the next 24 hours. I won't have time to advertize for it. Please let me know if you're interested and join the group on Yahoo!. The scoring format is the same as for our main competition group. The payout information can be found here. There won't be a $1 pool.

MLB Day-to-Day Pickem Available

10:54 PM ET on 3/13/13 by Jay Soester

The original unofficial game, MLB Day-to-Day Pickem, is back for its fourth edition on the league website. Pick one team to win each day through the MLB regular season. You get points for correct picks and lose points for incorrect picks with correct pick streaks gaining more points as you go. The only catch is you can't pick the same team to win more than twice in a given game week.

I'll get an in-game article about the schedule changes up in the next few days hopefully.

There aren't prizes this season (other than bonus points).
