Contest Annoucements-2 Bracket Contests!!!
****Sticky Post******
Yes, not just one bracket contest, but two of them. With prizes no less.
Contest #1 is an easy one, the Sparky Duck Bracket challenge. Go through the brackets, pick the most winners, or at least get the most points according to ESPN and win. Simple enough. I have created a group over at ESPN.com.

The prize is a traditional Duck family prize. But since I can not ship a case of beer, I will hand out a monetary amount that equals the same, at least in Pennsylvania dollars, which means $23.99 to the winner. There is no fee to enter.
Contest number 2 is called the Lower 48. It is a survival/knockout competition. I have elminated the top 4 teams in each region. To enter, you must pick one of the 48 teams listed below. First come, first serve. The team that makes it the furthest in the tournament wins. If there is a tie, there are tiebreakers. Example: If the last 3 teams all lose in the 3rd round, the team that loses by the least amount of points is the winner. If there is still a tie, the team that lost the highest seed is the winner. Coin flip if necessary as the next tiebreaker. Once a team is picked off the list it is gone, so get your choice in early.

12.American 24.UMBC 36.Miss Valley 48.Texas Arlington
The prize for this one is a $10 gift card of the winners choice.
There is no fee to enter either contest, though if you do decide to enter and then do a post over on your own blog to get some of your friends to enter each contest, that would be splendid. You have until 11 AM eastern time on Thursday to enter each contest and this sticky post will stay up until noon on Thursday.

Got your e-mail; still working on studying the brackets. I'll get entered soon, though.
Got your e-mail too.. have no clue about this stuff, but it might be fun to find a way to make picks randomly... Maybe I should crack out the Ouija board.
Happy St Paddy's!
Looks like fun
OK, I'll be first. I take #7 Oklahoma.
This is a cool idea. :)
I have 2 questions.
Exactly what sport is this? I am so clueless.
The second question is, how many bottles of beer are in a case in the US? If there are 24 and it only costs $23.99, then I am TOTALLY getting ripped off.
Since twyla doesn't know what sport it is, I'd say she has the advantage. :)
Those of us who put some thought into it are ultimately losers.
I am so behind...Thanks for the invite Sparky. I'll try to get signed up today. Cheers my good man!!
Twyla:Its basketball, trust me, you do not need any skills to sign up and play. Mrs Duck did.
and as for the beer, yes its 24 of them. Now, the last time I bought a case was in the summer before the economy went to shit, but a case of magic hat was 23.99 plus tax. You gotta pay your own tax dammit
I am in shock that you only pay 23.99 for a case. It's 36.99 here. The Canadian government sucks.
What about other kinds of alcohol, like hard liquor? How much is a quart (750 ml) of say, Captain Morgan? :) I think I need to move. LOL
OK...give me George mason
and i will be over at ESPN tonight
Oh crap, saw this too late. Given what I know about college basketball (nothing!) and the fact that there are upsets all over the place, I might have had a chance to win...
Hey, as far as work goes,am I allowed to say it could be worse? With the economy going to the south, I think it's safe to have job, period!
Happy Easter.
