2021 March Madness |
Rules of the Game:
The 2019 March Madness Fundraiser will begin Sunday, March 17 and pools should be entered by Thursday, March 21 at 11:30 a.m. Last minute email entries must be received prior to the start of the first tournament game on Thursday, March 21. Any entry received after that point is invalid.
We ask for a donation of $10 per entry, and each player must sell at least 10 entries. Players are responsible for turning in $100 whether the entries are sold or not!
Entries should be made electronically through the web site. DO NOT ENTER ANYTHING INTO THE MAIN BRACKET ON THEBIGTOURNEY.COM – ALL ENTRIES SHOULD BE ON SITE 580607. If you do not see our Mid-Atlantic Magic logo in the top center, you are on the wrong page!
How to enter your name so you can find it later:
When submitting an entry, please type the last name of the player and the grade level in parentheses after the name.
Example:
John Smith has bought a bracket from Susie Jones on our 4th grade team, he would enter his name as John Smith (Jones 4). If Martha Stewart bought a pool from Jiminy Cricket from the 7th grade team, she would enter her name Martha Stewart (Cricket 7).
PLEASE NOTE ANYTHING ENTERED IN THE NICKNAME FIELD IS WHAT APPEARS IN THE STANDINGS! DON'T ENTER (Jones 4) OR (Cricket 7) IN THE NICKNAME FIELD! If you enter a nickname, for example MADDOG 2020, that is what will appear in the standings in place of your actual name. If you don't enter a nickname, it will default to the name on your entry.
Each completed entry should have the name, e-mail address, and phone number of the entrant so we can contact you with any issues or to notify you that you won. For the purpose of breaking a tie, each entry should also include a prediction of the total number of points scored in the championship game, regardless of its participants.
Scoring the Entries
Entries are scored as follows:
Round 1 - 1 point each correct winner
Round 2 - 2 points each correct winner

Round 5 (Final 4) - 12 points each correct winner

Tips for finding your name in the Results section:
Most browsers have a Find function in the main menu - you can type in your name and scroll through until your name is highlighted.
If you entered a nickname when you made your selections, your name will appear as the nickname you chose. So if your name is John Smith and your nickname was Captain, your name will appear as Captain in the results.
