2024 OhioWrestling.Net NCAA Pick'Em Contest
It's TIIIIIMMMMMMEEEEE!!! Welcome to the 10th Annual OhioWrestling.Net NCAA Pick'em Contest!!

I'll list all past champs and other interesting tid-bits below.

I created the league - I'll update this post with all those that have joined the league. I believe that all emails from last year have been added.

You must log-in to Fantasygrade.com using that email address. This league is the "2024 OhioWrestling.net NCAA Pick'em".

The League Code is:46342B

If you have any problems, email me and I'll get back to you ASAP.

You must pick 1 person in each weight to have a valid entry. If not, that entry will be DQ'd.

Like always, please post below if you are willing to donate anything (instead of an entry fee) for the prize pool this year. If you'd like to be anonymous, let me know also. I want to be as transparent with all who donate (and play) about the $ so all who donate can be confident that their donations are going where they are supposed to go. Easiest way to make donations are through Venmo (Brady-Hiatt-7); PayPal (splitsoles@yahoo.com) or via Amazon Gift Card (splitsoles@gmail.com)

I'll update information in this first post so check back here often.

For their generous donations to the prize pool this year, a big thanks goes out to:
$100 Anonymous
$!00 Anonymous
$50 Ethan Moore
$25 Roe Fox
$20 Jason Fair
$20 Brian Brian
$15 Colt Yinger
Brady Hiatt ($50 + I'm Average t-shirt + Golden Plunger)


Prizes:
Gold: $190 (50% of cash pool) + Wagyu Steaks via Donor through Hank + Gear via Jeff Streu
Silver: $114 (30% of cash pool)
Bronze: $76 (20% of cash pool)

Median Finisher - "I'm Average" t-shirt (50 entrants so 25th place).

Last Place - Golden Plunger (I will write your name on it and post a pic).

The Gold, Silver, and Bronze prizes will be given in payments on via PayPal / Venmo or in gift cards of winners choice (with reason of what I can purchase locally or deliver online).

Excited for this again and hope it add enjoyment to an already incredible weekend of wrestling.

The roster deadline 03/21/2024 11:00 AM CENTRAL STANDARD TIME.

I propose a new category just so I can win something: Mr. Anonymous.

I’ve never won. I’ve never totally sucked. I can’t even be average.

Anonymous.

I just submitted this year's winning "I'm Average" roster. Again.

I expect to be addressed as "Chump-Chump", uh I mean "Champ-Champ", after my triumphant victory. :)

This years winner is probably going to correctly guess 125. I have never seen a bracket I was so unsure of. There are 20 kids who could win it.

Also gambling on potentially injured wrestlers. Guys like Vito and Starrocci could win it all or could default out. If Starrocci isn’t healthy and falls to Lewis in the quarters I bet he doesn’t even place and defaults out.

I will indeed be gambling on Starocci and Vito.

Sent you $20 for the prize fund Brady.

Yes…Starocci & Vito are big gambles. And certainly steals if they can make it happen. Starocci…at 9!?!?!

I realize I shouldn’t give away my justification/reasonings but I’ve sucked at this in the past so not listening to me is wise, BUT…I’m not sold that Lewis (VT) is poised to make a run to the finals based on health. But - as evidenced by past results - I’m probably wrong.

Last few years, I've been pretty good...or at least last year.

Anyone not pick Carter Starocci at 174?

I didn't

Obviously that strategy is not what it takes to be an "I'm Average" Champ-Champ.

Duh. :)

Offering up 2 wagyu steaks including shipping to the winner courtesy of a forum member who'd prefer to remain anonymous.

If I win, my prize will be 1000 cash.
