Puma42 Posted November 12, 2012 Report Posted November 12, 2012 [b]Welcome to the 2012 Playoff Bracket Challenge![/b] The aspect of this challenge is to predict the winner of each playoff game all the way up to the State Championship game in December. The kicker is, is that you have to fill out your bracket and pick a winner for each game all the way to the State Championship, plus a State Championship score prediction that will go into action in the case of a tie breaker. All this must be done before this [b]Thursday, November 15 at 5 PM[/b]. Miss the deadline? You can still enter a bracket! It will just be marked with an asterisk to note it is a entry that has been submitted after the deadline. [i]This challenge is taking place on a different website.[/i] [b][u]It is completely free![/u][/b] Sign up is very simple. All that is required is your [u]email address, a name [b](I used the same one as I have on here, BigRed42)[/b], and a password.[/u] After you sign up, you can enter one bracket or all the brackets! [u]We will have 5A Div. I & II, 4A Div. I & II, and 3A Div. I & II.[/u] [b]All rankings are according to the Week 11 AP poll.[/b] Enter one or enter all! It's your choice!

Best of luck!Couple of updates:Just found out that the [i]deadline is set for Thursday, November 15 @ 5 PM in Pacific Time.[/i] There is no way I can change this, so for [u]Central time[/u] that makes the deadline the same day at [u]7 PM[/u]. [u][b]This is the scoring format that the website provides:[/b][/u]Each predictor's score is determined by adding 1 point for each correctly predicted first round game, then doubling for each additional round, e.g. 2 points for 2nd round games, 4 points for 3rd round, and so on. Tie breakers are usually based on date/time completed, awarded to the earliest prediction. [b]As for the last sentence, the tiebreaker we will use is not going to be based on date/time completed. It will be based on the score prediction of your State Championship game. I hope you remember to enter a score for that last game!![/b]
