Selection Sunday is two weeks away and hopefully Covid is behind us.

So we're back at it with the college hoop contest.

ComptrBob is gracious enough to grade the contest again this year.

Contest #1 - Pick one team from each seed line (1 through 16) that you think will go farthest in the tournament.

Like in the past contests, we will have
"weighted round values" as teams advance.

Top 3 posters who accumulate the most points after the final game will win $$.

Round of 64: 1 x seed
Round of 32: 2 x seed
Round of 16: 3 x seed
Round of 8: 4 x seed
Final 4 round: 6 x seed
Championship: 10 x seed

So it will look like this:

Seed #1- Team A
Seed #2- Team B
Seed #3- Team C
all the way down to 16

1st Place- $500
2nd Place- $300
3rd Place- $100

Contest #2 - Pick your Sweet 16 teams.

Contestant with most teams in the Sweet 16 wins $$.

Tiebreaker will be contestant who comes closest to the most combined points in the Final 4 games

So it would look like this:

Sweet 16:
East- 4 teams
West- 4 teams
South- 4 teams
Midwest- 4 teams

Sweet 16 Winner- $100

Contest #3 - Pick your Final 4 teams.

$25 bonus for correctly picking the Final 4

Contest #4 - Pick the poster who you think will win Contest #1.

$25 bonus for picking the poster who wins that contest.

****** ComptrBob will let everyone know the best way to post selections to make it easier for grading.

Any questions?

There is plenty of time to hash things out.

If you can't make it for whatever reason, let us know, and JK will pick a substitute.

******** I would also love to see some rival posters post up $50 with JK and see who does better.

Half would be for who gets most Sweet 16 teams, half would be who does better in the overall.

Boston Massacre vs Kane
Viejo vs Railbird
CB vs Jimmy The Greek
Winky vs Dell Dude

Any poster can challenge another poster.

This would add some excitement and some bragging rights.

For convenience, I will list the tournament teams after Selection Sunday, March 13, 2022

To summarize: Please follow Jammer's posted examples, in order:

Contest #1: Choose one team from each seed in order (#1 thru 16) + tiebreaker total.
Contest #2: Picks (4 each) for the Sweet 16 teams by region (E,W,S,MW)
Contest #3: Picks for the FINAL 4 (must get all correct for the bonus)
Contest #4: The EOG contestant you think will win Contest #1

For those wishing to conceal their picks, you can DM them to JK who will publish them on Thursday.

Play-in picks (the first 4 games) can be the pair of teams with the winner being used or you can wait for the results.

Deadline for picks is March 17, Thursday AM (generally just after 8:00AM PT) i.e. before tipoff of the first game of the Round of 64.

BM isn't my rival, I have that ignorant cunt on ignore, so I have no idea what he ever posts, but now I'll assume he's always posting about me, which is kinda strange since I never see any of his moronic bullshit anyway. Appreciate the invite.

NEVERAGAIN is out.

Busy with work is the leading reason for the withdrawal.

BOMZEE, LOUISVILLEKID, MRBOWLING300 and TONYMAR are the first four alternates, in no particular order.

First come, first serve.

He knows. He saw my challenge twice. My post and yours quoting my post. He's a pretend pussy so he won't do it. What about you, kane? It's about time I teach you a lesson.

Not only is Kinky a pussy, he's a fucking idiot. This is called crapping out of turn. He just let everybody know he saw my post by saying he can't cee my post. You should have stayed with what, Kinky!

I'm surprised KANE and DELL DUDE are not criticizing the exclusive nature of JAMMER's March Madness contest.

The two muckrakers had plenty to say about our fun February event.

Oh, never mind, both KANE and DELL DUDE are on the list of contest invitees.

Carry on.

Unlike the last contest, this one will be decided on the field, so to speak, and not by someone who chose whoever he wanted to win, if you'd rather me not participate, just say the word

In like FLYNN Hell yes

Thanks JK Feel like I was close to winning that last constest this was my post:
Matt Stafford wins MVP and that great LA Rams defense slows down that powerfull Cinny Bengals offense for LA first Super bowl victory in the La area.

If big IF: Stafford wins that MVP I hit it just right: got it right about that rams D won the game on that last drive

watch out for asportsguy in this Tourament guys

You were in the running, ASPORTSGUY.

Stafford not winning the MVP and no final score listed hurt your chances.

Here was last month's winning entry from BOBODAD:

HEADLINE: The Los Angeles Rams won their second Super Bowl in franchise history as they held off young gun slinger Joe Burrows and the Cincinnati Bengals 24-17 to capture Super Bowl LVI.

LEAD SENTENCE: The acquistion of Matthew Stafford by the Rams a year ago returned huge dividend. Stafford was named Super Bowl MVP, throwing for 3 TDs, two to Cooper Kupp and one to Odell Beckham Jr., in beating the Bengals. The LA defense also played a solid game, intercepting Joe Burrows twice and sacking him five times. The final Bengals drive ended in a fourth down play with Jalen Ramsey breaking up a Joe Burrows pass for Tee Higgins at the Rams 22 yard line with under a minute to go in the game.

Loved the detail about Kupp scoring twice and Beckham, Jr. once.

Not far from the final score, either.

BOBODAD's prediction: Rams 24 Bengals 17.

Actual final score: Rams 23 Bengals 20.

Easy decision to award BOBODAD the winner-take-all prize of $500, compliments of BetDSI.

ABSOLUTELY!

Do we send the money ahead of time to you or someone to hold it?

Suggestion for ways for people to post plays: Can you set it up so that people who submit picks have them all hidden until the deadline passes and then all picks are revealed at once so no one knows who anyone chose until all picks are in?

I am good for $50 on: This AND the entire tourney

We can fill out a bracket at ESPN or some place like that and whoever does better there (with a TB involved) wins the other $50
