The time has come!! Let's kick off the CP March Madness 2007 Tourney!!
RULES:
1. You must be a member of Cigar Pass prior to the date of this post.
2. The wager is 3 cigars per bracket entry of value no less than $8.00 per cigar MSRP. ($24.00 total for each bracket entry) I understand that some cigars are very hard to get at MSRP (VSG, Opus, Anejo, etc). I will take this into consideration when reviewing your wager cigars.
3. You may submit as many brackets as you'd like, as long as you pay the 3 cigars per entry.
4. There will be 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place prizes of my discretion, but most likely a 65/25/10 percent cut on the total of cigars.
5. Upon registration, each participant will post their registered username and proposed cigars for wagering. Members may express their opinion of the proposed cigars, but I will be the final approval authority. See my example in next post.
6. Your "wager" cigars must be in the mail to me postmarked NLT 15 March. Otherwise will result in ineligibility.
SCORING:
This pool is based on a points system. The scoring system is designed to give you more points per correct pick as the rounds progress. There are no fancy bonus points or seed bonuses. It's straight up pickem to win with point values as follows:
Points awarded per correct pick per round:
First round 1 point
Second round 2 points
Regional semifinal 4 points
Regional finals 8 points
National semifinals 16 points
Championship 32 points
Tie breaker(s) will be total championship game points.
Poolhost.com will automatically score each round and keep the rankings for our pool. All we do is watch and cheer.
