It's MARCH MADNESS Time

[cohibasurfer]

I have thought about this several times, but just not that into college basketball and filling out the brackets is too much work for me, let alone filling out 2. @cohibasurfer , you did option B last year didn't you? I think I enjoyed watching that thread...

Yes Sir.
Basketball has notoriously been a ruff sell.

Well there is 6 players most likely 7 in the Full Bracket Challenge. So it will be a go. A $40 fiver to be shipped to the Winner(s) will be the ante.

Entries still being accepted.

So what do I have to do?

Sorry Jon, I missed this.
Just sign up to the ESPN then join our private contest with a Link that I'll provide for the group of players and fill out a bracket. It will be automatically graded and scored by ESPN. This will be for a $40 fiver.
You will make 8 players so far. I hope to get a few more interested in joining.

Here's a link to read.

Since the Sweet 16 bracket contest has weak interest at best, I wanted to do a version of it for fun. I took the SEC Tournament that starts WEDNESDAY 3/12 and gave everyone in the ESPN March Madness Bracket Challenge 2 spots and did a random match with the 16 team in it. The contest format will be done using the point spread and steal a team if the winner doesn't cover the spread. And it's complementary (free) for the 8 that are signed up. I'm putting up a prize for the eventual winner. Not sure what exactly, but I'll post it. I am starting a new thread to keep updated and let this thread stay open for sign ups still. I'll attach a link to this post after I make the new thread.
Thanks to those that signed up.

@cabaiguan juan ... can I convince you to play the Bracket contest now instead? We can make it for Fivers or $$

@thinde ... since you tossed your hat in. What would you prefer? fiver of cigars or CASH!!! @Smart Ash and @smellysell .... any input?
Basketball has been a bit of a hard sell here.

Maybe we can get 8 people after the Madness starts and we can get a "Random Elite 8 bracket team stealer" gig to roll..... for like $20-$25. Money is easy. We can even make it a gift certificate for an online cigar purchase or something.

I'm just along for the ride
