2021 College Basketball Contest
 

Technically March Madness does not start till the 18th but I am posting this because I want others to have a chance to see this before it starts and to also post their picks

This year for the 2021 NCAAB Division 1 Tournament I am doing a fun contest for anyone to join and play

Here are the contest rules

1) FREE contest; no fee to join

2) Predict who wins each of the 63 games and you must make all your picks for every single round before the first round in order to be eligible for the grand prize

3) You receive the number of points each round is worth
-The default value is 1 point for round 1, 2 points for round 2, 4 points for round 3 (Sweet Sixteen), 8 points for round 4 (Elite Eight), 16 points for round 5, and 32 points for round 6 (Championship Game)

4) Tie Breakers;
Predict the score of the Championship Game
The first tiebreaker is the closest to the winning score
If still tied, the next tiebreaker is closest to the losing score
If still tied, the final tiebreaker is the closest to the combined score of the two teams

5) 1st place prize receives a copy (e-book) of the title "Consistent Handicapping Profits" by EW Donaldson! A book that goes for around $1000 now $45 hard copy is yours if you win the tournament!

When the official bracket comes out tomorrow night I will post it here and you must send me your copy of your bracket on email check2441@gmail.com
before the 18th if you want to win the grand prize! Scanning the bracket after you have completed it is recommended

Thanks, everyone hopefully some people see this before the first round, and may the best handicapper win! ;)

Please let me know if you are playing in this pool before the start of the 1st round

And remember you must have your bracket filled out entirely before the 1st round

Please send it to check2441@gmail.com if security purposes and for everyone to keep their brackets secret ;)

Thanks, everyone looking forward to a great tournament!

I'm in. Are the picks straight up or against the spread. I found this excel template. Is this what you want.

Thanks and GL to all!

NOTE: The picks you will be submitting are NOT ATS they are straight-up picks so just be careful about choosing your games using this in mind

This is a later and I hope last version of the March Madness Tournament. Should CheckMark allow its use as intended each person would make selections ans email the excel file to Checkmark. As the games are played he can enter a w in the yellow box for each win. The program will total the w's and keep a running total for the score.



As this was made before the First Four games anyone using the file will have to enter the winner of those games in the appropriate gray box and then all of the drop down boxes should work.


The yellow boxes are for Checkmark to use.


If Checkmark want PDF's only use the original file, print to a PDF, and email it to him.


Now that I have confused everyone the only important thing to know is that if I do not win the contest is rigged.

I am just trying to make it easier for everyone for using pdf or excel file.
And yes picks are SU and not ATS.
Sorry to everyone that I confused as I never said not to use the excel file I just said it could be easier for pdf

Thanks

The PDF is easier for me

submitted my pdf to you on email
