March Madness Competition!

Post by JesusIsAlive »

So, I did this last year and wanted to encourage people to do it again this year! What you do is you sign up in the CBS league that I created for the ToOers. The league ID # is "35024" and the password is "christ"

Yes, this is indeed the same group as last year. :p

The prizes will come out of my own pocket and are as follows:

1st: 200
2nd: 100
3rd: 50
4th: 25

You may submit up to three brackets. The brackets will be available to fill out this Sunday! Hope you join in, and have bunches of fun! \:D/

You'll receive a bracket of all the teams who made it to the competition. Then, you'll have to decide which teams you think will win against which up until you only have the champion left. \:D/

You go to http://ttbf.mayhem.sportsline.com/e In order to join the league, though, you have to have a CBS sign on. Once it takes you to that page, there should be a "insert password" box or something. The password is "christ" without the quotation marks of course. :p Then, anytime between this sunday and next wednesday you can fill out the tournament brackets, also known as choosing which team will win which game. :yes:

Oh, no, you have to have a username in order to play. The number and password are just for the group ID and password.

If people would rather do picks on yahoo, then I could set up a group on there instead... :-k

Okay, here is the link:

http://tournament.fantasysports.yahoo.c ... 2&P=christ

The password is "christ" without the quotation marks of course. :p

Anyone can join either one and still have it count. I'll just have to make sure the point structure is the same. :lol:

Sign-ups are officially over. Now for the tournament to begin! :dance:

The players:
Regis B
Hannahjiejie

JesusIsAlive

I'll try to keep everyone somewhat updated on who is leading at different times. \:D/

I think we'll be going by the CBS scoring. So I'll have to convert Epic's yahoo picks into CBS pointage, but that shouldn't be too much of a problem. :p

Results:

Regis B = 319 Points
Hannahjiejie = 263
Epic = 262

Hannah and Epic's brackets were only one point off! Regis, your bracket was uh-mazing! I think it may have been the best one I've seen out of all my family's brackets etc. =D>

Good job everyone! Prize money being sent out.

Nice! That was not one of my best, though, I think that my ESPN one did better. Not sure though.

Yay! Way to go RegisB! Thou didst wonderfully =D

Soli de Gloria!
