Chang Wins!

Jonathan and Amy Chang are the 2011 DFS Champs. Jonathan, who also won it all in 1994, is the first two-time DFS Champ. His 1994 purse (270 points), though, pales in comparison to the 2011 purse (3093 points). "I'm trying to keep Amy in the dark about the proceeds," he explained.

"I'm telling her that the purse is 270 points again. I ask that the other 197 participants corroborate my story."

Hard luck James Kabbash would have won it all in the event of the Butler championship. Instead, he had to settle for second place (866 points). Ryann McDonough finished 3rd (544). He joins daddy Doug McDonough (2nd Place in 2005) as a pool winners circle member. Ryan was said to be happiest about blowing out his granddad, Wild Bill McDonough, who turned in another dreadful performance (99th place).

Charles Kabbash and Jim Ferrauilo tied for fourth, taking home 185 points apiece. Uncle Charlie believes that he and son James will pool the family's combined winnings and split the proceeds evenly. James had no comment.

Ferrauilo is a Flag Football dad like the commissioner. He has vowed to buy all Packanack Flag dads a Schaffer Beer at the next "Coaches Meeting."

Technical Glitch Not Withstanding; The Pool's Is Off To A Strong Start

A technical glitch sent DFS Pool administrators into a frenzy over the weekend when it was learned several participants had their selections lost in cyber space. Ten participants properly filed picks sometime Tuesday, but they never passed from Turbo Tourney to the DFS pool. When this situation was realized, staff technicians worked around the clock to resolve the issue. All picks were retrieved by Monday evening. Standings, the player lists and player picks can be accessed to the right. All participants are responsible for reviewing their picks.

This year's pool attracted 198 participants. That's down slightly from last year, but still a staggering number nonetheless. Charles Kabbash, the former All-World nose guard of Clifton High gridiron fame (circa 1955) , has proven up to the task on the hardwood as well. Close behind are Fred Rizzo and Lee Mondelli. Tied for third are Grant Ferrauilo, Jim Ferrauilo, Papa Louie March, and Jake Byrne. Embarrassing themselves in last are John Mahoney, the pool commissioner's father in law, and Ryan Finkel.

Welcome To The 21st DFS NCAA Tournament Pool

Congratulations! You are cordially invited to participate in the 21st running of the DFS NCAA Tournament Pool!

As we enter our third decade of operation, I’m thrilled to say that our pool continues to be strong, robust and very competitive.

Last year, in fact, the pool attracted 204 participants. Winner Joe Afflito, Sr. walked away with a staggering $3187. Robbie Corsetto and John Ferraro tied for second, taking home $701 each. Ferraro has now finished in the winner’s circle a record four times (1991, 1992, 1996, 2010). John’s kid brother somehow finished fourth, making $382. Of all the 204 participants, the one no one is concerned about Mark Byrne, who finished last in 2010. The entry fee is once again $25. Click here to enter

Bad Luck

Joey Scancarella is 0-2 at New York Jets AFC Championship games. He will never go again.

Hoop Savy

Despite Cara Scancarella's nose for the ball, long range shooting ability and knack for driving to the basket, her father was only able to coach her team to 0-14 record.

Happier Times

Villanova is 0-5 since this crew descended on Philadelphia. Consquently, Pool Commissioner Scancarella has declared the Cara Scancarella, Jack Bryan, Joey Scancarella, Joe Scancarella, Drew Bryan and lowly brother inlaw Jeff Bryan (not pictured) are bad luck and has banned them from attending anymore Villanova games.
