The Betting Pool Winner - 2017 Sweet 16 Edition

Congrats to CAT for winning this weekend's game. Ben and Shawn got 2nd and 3rd. Verv and JWar were the only other guys w/ money left on the table, and that's just b/c they stopped playing after Thursday and just lost $300/day.

Seemed like a good time - please let me know if you have any ideas for changes or improvements. We may fire it up again come football season. We will definitely do it again for next year's tourney.
