Let's get the sign up rolling. You simply reply with "I'm in" and we'll make you a bracket. Try to limit the discussion in here because I need to comb it for those entering the contest.

MTFan4Life will pm me the scoring and I will edit this post with that information for you when I get it.

I have many things going on right now so be patient and do not expect the links for your brackets to start showing up prior to Monday evening at the earliest.

Is there swag you ask? Yes, on top of a T shirt, and a "Playa" userbar like in the other thread there will also be a $100 gift card to the winner of this Bracket Challenge. The winner can choose where and if I can buy it online and it's not to a store or outlet that Cap'n Cat would frequent then we should be able to work that out between us.xthumbsupx


Oh BTW, this will shut off on Friday 11/29/2013 at 1p EDT so if you do not have picks in by then it's one of those "sorry Charlie" situations.

in, never don't it before, what are the rules etc

The rules/explanation on what needs to be done will be given to you in the PM sent to you with the link in the bracket. I have a short class day, so I'll get those started on being sent out in just a couple hours.

I think we had just over 100 people participate last season, so it'd be great to see at least that many again this year! Sure it's more work, but the more the merrier, and it's fun to see that number reach triple digits. It'd be great to get at least one member from each participating team as well. We definitely have the Bison covered so far, haha, but we always welcome more!

All these empty promises, I feel like a politician! First your brackets were promised before noon, then around supper time and now it may be til later tonight. I have sent out 10 brackets so far, so I'm not fully behind. I just have the sleeping schedule of a vampire as of late and I'm slumping quickly. I'll try to get a few more sent off before I pass out. However, I always do my best work in the midnight hours so every one should wake up to a new bracket with still three full days to work on it. We have a hefty 60-some signed up so far, but I always want more, so I'll call that a good start! haha

Keep em coming though. Don't worry, it's a fun and easy challenge that has a lot of luck involved. I've seen people with zero knowledge of a given sport win these types of brackets all the time. So don't shy away! xthumbsupx

Brackets all caught up again with an impressive number signed up so far! Do we have any posters on AGS representing Southern Utah or Butler? Other teams that I don't think we don't have anyone in for yet include Northern Arizona, Sacred Heart, Bethune-Cookman, Samford, or Southeastern Louisiana. So, keep em coming! xthumbsupx

So far 96 brackets have been created. That's a pretty hefty number. I think there were about 112-116 brackets created last year with 104 of them being filled out. So we are getting pretty close to that record number! Thank you to all who have signed up before. The scoring will be pretty much like the last two seasons. I'll put out an official scoring post tomorrow where I'll break down what will happen for those not familiar with it. Don't be afraid to sign up if you haven't yet. The Big Sky is pretty much just represented by the Montana schools. The only SoCon posters are Furman reps, and the Southland is all Mcneese and SHSU people.

Official scoring process:
Each correct pick in a given round will be given the following points:
1st Round - 15
2nd Round - 15
Quarterfinals - 30
Semifinals - 50
Finals - 100

The scores will be used for deductions or bonuses from each total. If an exact score is guessed, there will be a ten point bonus added. There will be a tenth of a point deduction for each point a prediction for each separate team is off the actual score for that given team. This is not how many points your combined score was off the real combined score. For example, joe picked A over B 27-14. The final score was A winning 24-17. The combined scores were both 41, but joe was 3 off A's final score and 3 off B's final score. Therefore, .6 will be deducted from his points for that round. If B had won that game, joe simply would not have gotten points for that respective game.

First round scoring example:
A over B - 27-14
A beat B 24-17 15 points for the win minus .6 = 14.4
C over D - 31-10
C beat D 24-10 15 points for the win minus .7 = 14.3
E over F - 14-7
F beat E 17-14 no points awarded for loss
G over H - 24-21
G beat H 24-21 15 points for the win plus 10 for nailing the score = 25

14.4 + 14.3 + 0 + 25 = 53.7 for Round one.

Still a full two days to sign up. Keep em coming!

I filled mine in. It's of utmost importance you all get your bracket filled out today so if you haven't then get on it.

There is a list of names I keep for people that request and then do not fill out. If you land on it a couple times in a row you get booted from the next one you request because there is work that goes into these things so request all you want but fill out all you request. It's common courtesy.

Well....my wife (FCS knowledge or football in general is minimal) just picked the same quarterfinal matchups as me on a printed bracket....I'm not feeling so good anymore! Haha. Granted, she did pick the upset special of Butler making it to the second round because she remembers them from March Madness. :D

Well thanks to some people sneaking in literally last minute after some reminders, we just barely broke the century mark for total finished brackets. We fell one short of last season's amount of 102 brackets, but still a very impressive amount!

Just so you know, there won't be an immediate update of scores after the first round of games. With the scoring process rather complex, I have formulated an Excel spreadsheet to do the work for me. However, I do have to enter all 101 brackets, which amounts to 2424 games that will need to be entered. That should take awhile, but for the rounds after this one, the scoring updates will be almost instantaneous. Thank you to all who participated!

Depending if Samford scores here, I got 7/8 games right and with deducts I'll be at about 91 points total (140 points off from total scores = 14 pt deduct - yes I know it varies by each team's individual score)?

Finally. After 9,439 cells of entered data and 4,998 more cells of entered formulas, the first round scores are finally calculable. This playoff expansion stuff sure adds to that work! haha Below is a list of every one who submitted a completed bracket. First round results to follow soon..

You are probably gonna have to roll down the hill at breakneck spped cuz I'm pretty sure I ain't making a climb if I remember my picks correctly I'm gonna keep heading to the bottom. I wish you luck though.

I missed this update because last week of class, but wow nice-sized jump for me!! =]

I got very lucky with the first two games this weekend (58.2/60 points), so I'm very excited for tonight's update assuming no one ahead of me got that 10 point bonus. Looking back, I don't know why the heck I chose Towson. EIU was a real good team. Thank goodness that worked out.

Go SELA and EWU!

Last week 85. This week 67. If Towson do this year what they have done to us over the years (that is kick ash when they should loose). I may finish in the top 25.

Third week standings. Things are starting to take shape. Only two people correctly picked the final four. Only 19 others picked 3 out of 4. It should be a fun finish.

Last week 85. This week 67. If Towson do this year what they have done to us over the years (that is kick ash when they should loose). I may finish in the top 25.

HOT DOG! I am now at 25.

I got lucky on a gamble that UNH would make the semi's. In August I had NDSU over Towson in the Clenz challenge, so I stuck with it, and it worked out that way. This is actually one of the first football pick games that I have ever won! Ill drink to that.
