He is assisted by a large contingent of Anders staff who set-up the online pool, market it and count the proceeds.
The top 30 bracket winners received a prize donated by sponsors, ranging from an Apple HomePod to a weekend getaway at the Lake of the Ozarks and gift cards to local restaurants and breweries.
