@beatingthebook talking contests.. my favorite by far: 20 people in a pool. All 1-15 seeds dropped into a hat and each person pulls 3 teams out of hat.
If you are holding team that wins it all you win half the pot.
Other half of pot goes to person who accumulates most points.
The kicker- you can trade your teams. You can have as little as one or as many as 6 teams.
Points are based on your seed so if you have #11 VCU and they win you get 11 points.
Trading is non stop and I never get any word done. Lot of strategy to see what pot you want to chase
