In the spirit of March Madness and its associated bracket pools, I've decided to create a similar event for next week's TGCT Match Play tourney. Basically, the goal will be to correctly predict the winner of all 63 matches.
Scoring: A correct pick in the round of 64 will be worth 1 point; in the round of 32, 2 points; in the round of 16, 4 points, and so on, for a total of 192 points. The person with the most points will win (duh). To break any ties, I'm also asking that you include a prediction for the result of the final match (e.g., 4&2, 1up).
Logistics: The contest will open when the bracket is revealed on TGCT Live and will close when the tournament is published in TGC (11:59 PM EDT on March 18). I realize this is a pretty small window (only 5 or 6 hours), so I'm announcing it now to give fair warning and hopefully attract as many players as possible. To play, please submit a screenshot of your bracket and your prediction for the final match in this thread by the above deadline.
You may fill out the bracket any way you wish, but my suggestion is to use this site. So that you don't have to retype all 64 players, feel free to submit a 32-team bracket that starts with your winners from the round of 64 (put your predicted winner of the 1 vs. 64 match in the "1" slot of the 32-team bracket, and so on). It's probably a good idea to go ahead and put "Sweeney" in that 1 slot, now that I think about it.
Prizes: I don't have any in mind at the moment, but I'd consider giving out a small gift card if we get a decent number of players (let's say 20). Maybe that'll serve as incentive to get some added participation.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask them here. Good luck, everyone, and may your brackets remain not busted!
