This is to see how many would be interested in doing a Bracket Challenge for march madness which starts March 18th. If your not familiar with this its pretty simple you pick who you think will win in each round up front and then sit back and root (or curse) for you teams to win. I have a private section setup on CBSsports.com. Brackets would be $5 each you can do up to 3 (this way if your torn between a few teams you can pick one to win in one bracket and the other to win in the other.)

I have the scoring set up as follows:
each 1st round correct pick gets 1pt
each second round pick gets 2pts
3rd round 4pts
4th round 6pts
semifinals (final 4) 10pts
Finals 20pts
Ties are determined by TOTAL final score of Championship

All scoring is done by the computer once the tournament starts.

So if you have all 4 teams correct in the final 4 you would get 40 pts for that round.

Payouts would be
1-10 brkts 1st place 100%
11-20 brkts 2 places 75/25
21-30 brkts 3 places 50/30/20

if we get more than 30 then I will post the payout before the 1st round ends.

I will take on this task.
Lets see how many interested then will have you send the money and I will send the URL and password.

Brackets will be available for picking on Monday 3/15

If your interested post here and goto www.cbssports.com and register then once I start collecting money I will send out the URL and pass.

Now in my past historys of doing this the people with no clue about college basketball do the best, I have had women choose teams due to colors and win, I've had people choose teams due to liking a city over another or a place they would like to visit or have visited.

Tourney Bracket

I Love March Madness and I have kept a bracket for the last ten years. I have seen a list of the first 14 teams to make the tourney. Are you kidding? With the amount of small schools and almost unknowns in the torueny this year anything could happen. Sorry, but I would not want to put up my poker winnings on such a long chance. But good luck to all who play.

I'm pretty sure it's like this every year, plus it's only five dollars, I say we should up the stakes to at least 20.

How will we be paying anyway?
