It is the return of Trash Talk Central! Your Tournament Hosts are happy to be back. Oh, and how about America's University!!! No. 1 in the East, No. 1 in your hearts!
This year, we will have two (2) tournament games for you to play. A standard bracket game where you will predict the winners of all 64 games, and a winner take all tournament survivor pool. You can play in one or both.
As always, the most important thing is to respect the rules of the Game. In this case, the Game refers to your bracket submissions for the standard game, the tournament survivor game, payments and trash talk. Let's take them in order:
1. BRACKETS - This year, we are changing the rules a little. You may enter a maximum of 3 brackets, however the champion selected in any bracket can not appear in the Final Four of any other bracket submission!! Your Tournament Host will make all final decisions on the validity of multiple "family" entries. Scoring is standard with no bonuses and escalating points by round. Tie breaker will be the total score of the title game. You can enter your brackets here. Brackets will automatically lock on Thursday.
*Please note that you have to register with CBS Sports to play fantasy sports. I play fantasy football there and I do think they are the best game manager. So please consider registering if you haven't already.
2. SURVIVOR POOL - If you enter the survivor pool, will be required to email your your pick to the Tournament Host by the start of the first game any day games are played beginning on Thursday, March 15. This means that you will have to make up to 10 picks in the tournament. Each day, you must pick one team to win that day. Once you pick a team, you can no longer select that team in subsequent rounds. You must email your pick every game day to silas2727@yahoo.com. FIRST PICKS ARE DUE NO LATER THAN 11:55 AM EASTERN TIME ON THURSDAY, MARCH 15TH.
3. PAYMENT - YOUR DONATION MUST BE RECEIVED NO LATER THAN MONDAY, MARCH 19. I know that I say this every year, but there will be no exceptions. I am too busy this year to chase you down. You will simply disappear from the pool.
PLEASE EMAIL ME AT silas2727@yahoo.com TO ENTER ONE OR BOTH POOLS AND I WILL REPLY WITH INFORMATION FOR DONATIONS AND ADDITIONAL RULES.
4. TRASH TALK - Trash Talk Central will be have a message board on the website for you. Also, we at WeMakeItRain will have some open threads to trash talk here. As always, the rules for trash talk are to 1) be funny, or smart, or both; and 2) be respectful of one another.
