...time for Extra-Birthday March Madness!!!
The Myers family is gearing up for the annual Extra-Birthday March Madness 2010! I'm in it to win it this year. I almost tasted a victory last year, but it was stolen away from me in the last round. I know I can do it this year! If you're looking to get in on your own EBMM, here are the rules (and get started soon - first game is on Thursday!):
1. Players - I wouldn't recommend having more the 6 people playing. If you have a lot of people interested, break off into different 6 or less groups
2. How to Play - Pick a total of 8 teams based on their seeding. That seeding will determine the number of points you get per round. (Example: If you picked a #4 seed, you will get 4 points for every game they win.) So obviously there is some strategy to this. You're not necessarily picking who you think will win the tournament - if you pick a #1 seed, you're probably not going to get enough points to win against your opponents. But, if you pick a #12 seed, they may not make it past the first game.
3. The bracket - everyone playing must print out a conference bracket and have their 8 teams picked by Thursday morning. Once your teams have been picked you cannot change them. They will then be shared by all players so everyone can follow who has the most points.
4. The payoff - the winner of the Extra Birthday March Madness recieves......an extra birthday! We're talking cake and presents here people!
So come join the fun!!! It makes watching basketball so much more fun!
