Update I Letter


UPDATE II LETTER

MARCH MADNESS 2011 FINAL UPDATE “Huskies Bite Bulldogs” UConn withers less vs. Butler Record Charity Money Raised! The game was a snoozer. Anticlimactic. UConn 53, Butler 41. Most exciting thing was to see who would come in 94th place. Oh my. Butler shoots 18% for the game. UConn too tall and smothering. But you know the story. Nevertheless a great post season for both teams and one of the most exciting tournaments in many years. VCU challenged and made it exciting. All number one and two seeds fell, and in the end, the much aligned Big East was somewhat redeemed and came out on top! Congratulations to Roger Kinsey, our 2011 March Madness Champion. Runner up was Mike Pyfferoen. No longer lost in the mail. Last place gift was pocketed by Ron Eaton, taking 4% of the prize pool. Bridesmaid this year (11th place and out of the money) was Corey Greening. The Official Total paid pool entrees is 420. Same as last year, and a record number. Your prize winnings will be based on this number. 80% of the entry fees goes to the prize pool, in the breakdown as listed in the opening letter at the start of the tournament. See the website. We pay out the top ten and last place. Additional $ 100 was split for the ties for 94th place. 20% of the original fees go to the charities in addition to the benevolent donations of those kind individuals listed above.
