The Bracket Buster Bonanza Is Here (Win Stuff)

It's a bit of a last-minute idea, but I'm running an NCAA Men's Basketball tournament pool called the FoxValleyVoice.com Bracket Buster Bonanza. It's hosted by CBSSports.com and the structure is fairly standard. For each winner you choose correctly you receive the following point value:

• First Round - 1 point
• Second Round - 2 points
• Third Round - 4 points
• Fourth Round - 8 points
• Semifinals - 16 points
• Finals - 32 points

The deadline to enter is this Thursday, March 18, at 11am, so hop to it. Here's how to sign up:

• Go to this web address: http://foxvalleyvoice.mayhem.cbssports.com/e
• Sign in with your CBSSports.com ID and password. If you don't have one yet, you can register for free
• Enter our group password: voice
• Pick your winners
• Enter the total score of the final game (tiebreaker)
• Bob's your uncle!

I'd like to give out some prizes to the winner. What those prizes might be, however, is still up in the air. At the very least the winner will take home a fabulous Miller Lite Bucket Set (pictured above), complete with 15 Pulpboard Coasters, Metal Ice Bucket and 4 Screenprinted Pub Glasses.  And they're dishwasher safe!  [The glasses not the coasters]

If you or someone you know would like to sponsor our contest, donate some prizes and get some massive local publicity please contact me.  

And tell every single one of your friends to play.  The more players we have, the better chance we have of scoring more prizes.  The madness starts...  NOW!
