Newman2 in Sole Possession of First Place
You take your small victories where you can. And so it was on Friday, March 18, 2022 that Newman2 ascended the mountain at 2:49:55 pm Eastern Daylight Time to claim sole possession of First Place. Regardless of what happens in the future, no one can ever take that away. More importantly, you also beat Tom Brady. Congrats.

With two games under our belt, the Real-Time Reports function and Leaderboard links are now active. If you are already behind, it’s a long tournament. If you are one of few who are Zero for TWO, I know how you feel…
38 Entries As of Tuesday Evening
As of 8:30 PM PDT on March 19, 2019, we’ve tallied a total of 38 entries. While this is typical of entry patterns of years past, recent events have raised concerns here at pool headquarters that a public service announcement is in order:
THERE IS NO “SIDE DOOR” to EQE Hoops madness glory. If “Side Door Singer” has been telling you otherwise, you may wish to reconsider your choice of consultants. Or perhaps you are mistaking this pool for an education at USC. To which we reply: we’re better than that.
We would ALSO counsel all prospective entrants to keep your eye on the clock – the pool clangs shut right before tip-off of the first game. According to THIS website, that first tip is scheduled for 12:00 PM EDT, March 21, 2019. If you are in other time zones, continents, hemispheres, or states of mind we leave it to you to figure it out.
Best of luck, enter often, and remember that everybody’s fake SAT scores are ignored equally and without prejudice here!
