Anyone interested? I can set up a yahoo group. I'll donate a few premiums, Casa Fuente, etc. I am sure someone else will too.
Respond with a yes if you guys want to do it.

i'd do it...
We could do an "entry fee" of three quality sticks. Winner gets 70% of the total pot (number of sticks). Second place gets 20%. Third place gets 10%. At the end of the contest, everyone sends their three sticks to the winner, as determined by a moderator of the contest (me, unless someone else wants to do it).
We'll keep an asshat or grinch list for everyone who fails to send their sticks to the winners.
sounds fun, CH. I'm in if you'll have me!
I, too, would like to get in on this action.:smiley25:
I would like to do this.
I'll sign up Chuck!:smiley20:
Alright, we have enough to get started. I am sure many more will join in. I'll post the sign up info in the morning and we will have until Thursday to fill out the brackets.
Alright, I have created the group.
In order to join the group, just go to http://tournament.fantasysports.yahoo.com/men and click on the "Sign Up" button to create a team (name your team the name you want to be known by, ie your username on cigarsmokers). After completing the registration, or if you already have a team, click the "Create or Join Group" button and follow the path to join an existing private group. Then, when prompted, enter the following information...
Group ID#: 97725
Password: hexmachine
Remember when it asks you to create a "pickset name" or "team" that is your user name, what will identify you to your picks.
By joining the group, you are agreeing to send three quality sticks (your discretion) to the winner.
Done. Thanks, CH.
I am in!!!!! What is the price range of the sticks??
You guys talk through that. I'll put up an 8-5-8, a Case Fuente and whatever else I have handy. I am not good at picking price ranges. I just have what I smoke. :smiley41:
My picks are done. Good luck everyone. A Padron Anny and some other things will probably be what I include in this.
I think we sould do four sticks each ranging from 8-12 a piece. Just a suggestion to open up disscussion. May be we can even go higher?:smiley25:
I think the original suggestion is just fine. My cigar budget is not like everyone else being that I am still in college and paying my way through as I go. If it goes to 8-12 dollars a stick I will abide by it though.Quote:

Ah, sorry Chuck, I've been busy with a few personal issues, work, etc. I started working on my brackets but never got them done.
Here's a couple of predicitions:
Syracuse loses their first round game.
Boston College in the final four.
UCLA in the final four.
Kent State over Pitt in the first round.
Xavier over Gonzaga in the first round.
That's it for the crazy stuff!:smiley36:

Since there are only four of us competing, I do not think the 70% 1st, 20% 2nd and 10%3rd place will work mathematically.
CH,
What do you think? 9 sticks to the winner and 3 to second place:smiley25:
BTW, here are my gives: DC Maximus Robusto, AF Double Chateau and a Cuesta Rey #9- Sungrown...
Hey all-
Sorrry I missed signing up for this...been a hectic week trying to jump through the house buying hoops.
However, let me know who wins this thing and I'll get a couple of sticks out to the winner.
Good luck to all-
HOW ABOUT THOSE GRIZZLIES!!!!
9 and 3 sounds good.
Here are the standings after round 1:
1 cockyhoskins 24
2 Spocimp 23
3 Winners 22
4 Victorious Secrets 20
How will we decide who sends what to whom.Quote:

Yep, first sends to second. Everyone else to first.
Focking Duke! I am out of this contest and will have to just sit back and see who wins. Good luck everyone!!!
After those buzzer beaters last night I feel that I am out too.
Any day that Duke gets beat is a great day in my book! :smiley2:Quote:

Cool. I was able to pull into a tie with Cocky Hoskins going into the final four thanks to UCLA's win and UConn's loss.
1 cockyhoskins 62
1 Victorious Secrets 62
3 Spocimp 55

With all of the upsets in this year's action, everyone's brackets are dead from this point forward. Will there be a tie breaker based on the score in the championship even though teams picked will not be playing?
I guess you could do that based on the score of the final game. This year sucked!!! But it was great basketball.:smiley5:
Who won? Where should I send my sticks?:smiley6:
I won, I won!!!Quote:

The tie breaker was the final score in the final game. The actual score was 73-57. My prediction was 70-61 and Cocky Hoskins prediction was 76-71. First time I have ever won a bracket challenge!

Mine will go out Friday.

CH,
I did not make the post office today. It has snowed all day and still is. I do not like to drive in this shit any more than I have to. We drove home in the wife's Mazda today. Fuggin powerless POS got stuck a mile from the house along with a long line of cars also stuck. Needless to say it was a wet and tiring walk the rest of the way home with a laptop and work bag, a five year old, and his toys which he refused to leave in the car. Anyway, the smokes will go out tomorrow assuming this storm blows over.
Coming at ya', CH... ...DC # 0305 2200 0000 8868 5391
Thanks for the smokes, Spocimp. That was very kind of you.:smiley20:
