March Madness Stock Pickers Tournament

[mrmarket]

I still don't understand the rules...are we taking the sum of the performances of all 5 stocks or just the best one of the five??

[jiesen]

rules

Each stock starts with a stake of $2000 play money with a total of $10000 per team. Total high dollar amount as of market closing Monday April 5th will win the units of fine meats and cheeses provided by entry fees.

This is what the rules say... looks like total return is key here, not individual performance- sort of like a team, eh?

[billyjoe]

Five regions now accounted for. Still don't know where scifos and jiesen are from. More clones are showing up (same players on different teams) but that's ok. Modern technology sometimes causes unforeseen problems.

Midwest Mobsters announce starting linup.

The Midwest Mobsters, coached by the notorious mobster Tommy Angelo, announced their starting linup today. Its rumored that Don Scifos himself selected the team. When asked why such talented players were attracted to The Mobsters, Angelo replied, "We're the mob, they either join us and enjoy the 'benifits' the family provides, or they would have had an accident."

Speculation is swirling all around the country as there have been rumors that the games might be fixed. One bookie affiliated with Don Scifos's orginization was quoted "Word is the Don has staked his reputation on this team, and most of the family have made large wagers."

So, without further ado: the Midwest Mobsters!

MTH: Center, Arizona
Powerhouse of a Center from Arizona, finally being recoginzed for his immense talent (or DHI if substitution is allowed before contest starts)

OMM: Small Forward, Conneticut
A great combination shooter/slashing penetrator who has a nose for rebounding and scoring around the basket.

FCFS: Point Guard
This Texan plays rock solid Defense and sets the tempo for the rest of the team

AACE: Shooting Guard, Texas
Most consistant, accurate shooter in the Midwest Confrence. Destined for the MM hall of fame. Coming off of injury the past few days, it will be interesting to see if AACE can come back strong for the tourney.

LAD: Power Forward, Oregon
The go to man under the basket with mobility and speed. LAD is normally the most active post player who can step out to the high post and score from 15-17 feet on in with a variety of moves. Relatively unheard of, but full of talent.

I run the Chigago mob, so I'd be midwest or central or whatever you're calling it. BTW, is it too late to replace MTH with DHI?

[billyjoe]

Jiesen, You are absolutely correct. High team total takes the cheese. You will be placed in the southwest region with IIC and possibly bakxs. Forgot to say no afterhours trading on April 5th will be allowed.

[billyjoe]

Scifos, Yes you can put DHI in. It looks like the Mobsters are in the Midwest region with my team. Aint I lucky. I'm not scared of losing the game. I'm scared of losing my life! And I don't have a single Italian or Sicilian on the roster.

O I See. he is just tring to get close enough so his Passengers can slip in to the building with out being seen. These guys must have come out of a corn field or something, they are wearing there coats over there heads like they don't want anyone to see who there. O wait a min. that guy is not a guy he is a girl.

Mea 1956, The ladies are in. Didn't think about gender when setting up rules and it's too late now. I think they'll surprise a lot of folks. Is Chico really a lady? It looks like midwest region for the gals. Thanks,
