How to enter your name so you (and we) 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. This makes it easier to find you if, for some reason, you don't receive a confirmation email with your bracket ID after you've entered.
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).
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 3 (Sweet 16) - 4 points each correct winner
Round 4 (Elite 8) - 8 points each correct winner
Round 5 (Final 4) - 12 points each correct winner
Round 6 (Championship Game) - 16 points for the correct champion.
In the event of a tie, the entrant with the point total prediction that is the closest to the actual total points scored in the championship game is the winner.
*This fundraiser is for amusement only, however, the winner will receive 1000 points, 2nd place will receive 300 points, and 3rd place will receive 200 points.” Points are valued at $1 each.
