<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wiggam007, post: 833369, member: 18436&quot;]This Sunday, the 14th, is Selection Sunday!</p><p><br /></p><p>For those of you that don&#039;t know it is when they choose the college basketball teams that will play in the NCAA Championship tournament.</p><p><br /></p><p>The contest is to submit a bracket with who you think will win each game of the tournament.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>This contest is open to everyone who joined in February 2010 or before that.</p><p><br /></p><p>Starting Sunday after they announce the teams, go to the following site: </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://cointalk.mayhem.cbssports.com/e" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cointalk.mayhem.cbssports.com/e" rel="nofollow">http://cointalk.mayhem.cbssports.com/e</a></p><p><br /></p><p>You will need to sign up with an account so that you can submit your bracket.&nbsp; Once you have picked your teams, you will still be able to change them until the start of the first game.&nbsp; After that, your choices are locked in.&nbsp; In addition, you will need to guess the score of the final game to be used as a tie breaker.</p><p><br /></p><p>Scoring will be a little bit different for those of you who have done this sort of thing before.&nbsp; Round One will be scored using the seed plus rule.&nbsp; So, for round one you get one point plus whatever the seed was of the team who one.&nbsp; For example, if a number one ranked team wins their game and you call it you would get two points: one for the round itself and one for the teams seed.&nbsp; This means that picking your upsets will be even more important and can make up for some later round bad picks.&nbsp; The rest of the rounds will be scored normally: 2 points for second round correct picks, 4, 8, 16, and finally 32 for each round after.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The person with the highest number of points will be winner.&nbsp; If there is a tie it will be broken with the guess you made on the final score.&nbsp; I will be putting in a bracket as well to see how I stack up against the rest of you, but if I come out in a position that would get a prize(unlikely), it will be passed down to the next person.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now for the prize: </p><p><br /></p><p>An 1889-O Morgan.&nbsp; I can&#039;t say it is in the best shape, but it is still a nice piece of silver.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Right now there is only this first prize, but if we get 20-30 people on here, I will add another one or two.</p><p><br /></p><p>Two last things: Post on this thread once you make your bracket and the cbs site uses your real name to track your bracket, so if you don&#039;t want that to show up, put your user name in the name area of the sign up.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good Luck!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh279/Vengefultiler/Prizeobverse.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh279/Vengefultiler/PrizeReverse.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
