Based on last year, the two people who finished next to last and last, only sent 3 or 4 sticks. Everyone else sent 5. So plan on 5.

Once we have the field set, I will post the pay out schedule. See above link for last year's payout.

Just curious-what "grade" of sticks does this involve? I'm not saying I would send dog rockets if I lost, but curious if something like an Oliva V would be like bringing a knife to a gunfight.

No specifics. Last year was a good mix of everything I think.

No Cremosas. :D

And nothing with Purdue Pete on it.:rolleyes:

That would be the best sticks in the whole bunch. LOL

I bought final four tickets, but without Hummel, I'm almost certain to be selling them now. Such a shame...

After the Minnesota game, I imagine there is no joy in Boilermakertown.

Just one game and in particular and it just boils down to the fact that you can't possibly shoot that bad if you ever tried again. I think they'll win the first 2 games, but we just won't have enough to match up with Duke. Maybe I'll get lucky and Louisville will take them out before we meet up. ;)

It is scary how much different Purdue is without Hummel. If he were healthy today, I'd say they're a favorite for the final four in a LOT of brackets.

Pretty much :(

And to make it all worse I'm from Minnesota, so I have to deal with a lot of harassing while back in town for break.

Sadly, Indianapolis is full of Loosier fans (that after a 10 win season nonetheless) treat Hummel's ACL tear and Purdue getting blown out by Minnesota as the biggest highlights of their entire season.

Ok gang. Here's first draft of payout schedule. It follows last year, except we'll pay top 4 instead of top 5.

If there are no complaints, we'll run with this.

17th place pays 3 to 4th place
16th place pays 4 to 3rd place
15th and 14th pay 5 each to 2nd (10)
13th to 5th pay 5 each to 1st (45)
