Any interest NCAA Bracket Contest? .1 BTC entry fee and a sportsbook will escrow

[Peeps Place]

Anyone have any interest in a Bracket Contest? We can hold it here http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/tournament/bracket. I'll set up a league with a first place prize 80% and second 20%.

I'm sure a book will agree to escrow the funds. It would be fun if players and books entered. If there is interest just post "in". If we get enough I'll ask a book to hold the funds.

I'm in assuming we can get enough people to make it interesting.  I'm fine with any amount .01-.1, assuming multiple brackets are allowed.

It doesn't look good but if we get 10 today, we'll make it a go. We need 8 more.

Each round has escalating points for correct picks (1 in the first round, 2 in the next round, 4 in the next round, ect).  You fill it out completely before the tournament starts (Thursday morning), whoever has the most points at the end of the tournament wins.
