After bringing a few fellow Orangebloods on board the last couple of years, it's time to extend invites once again to my fellow OBers.
It's called PerfectTourney, it's $25 per entry and you can enter as many times as you like.
Here's how it works.
Instead of just filling out a boring old bracket, here you give each team in the tournament a ranking from 1 to 64, using each number only once.
1 = Team you think is LEAST LIKELY to win the tournament
64 = Team you think is MOST LIKELY to win the tournament
Every time a team wins, you get the amount of points equivalent to the ranking you assigned to that team. For the first two rounds of the tournament, you get a single point for equal to your ranking for each win. For the second two rounds, it’s double your ranking points. And for the final two rounds, it’s triple your ranking points.
So, ideally you should seek to assign the numbers 1 through 32 to the teams you think will likely lose in the first round. The rankings of 33 through 48 should go to the teams you think will lose in the second round and so on, all the way up to the team you rank as 64 being the team you think is likely to lift the trophy after all is said and done.
The entry with the highest total accumulated points at the end of March Madness, wins the tournament and takes home 50% of the pot. And ultimately, the top four places pay out.
The ranking approach is always the thing that keeps people coming back, year after year, because it doesn't matter whether you pick teams that advance like in normal brackets. It only matters whether your rankings of the teams that do is higher than the other people playing.
So, if you're interested in trying a little different March Madness experience, just DM me here with your email address, and I'll be happy to shoot you out an invite. Just make sure to get registered and have those rankings in by the start of the first game on Thursday morning at 11am Central.
The more the merrier, so come one come all!
Hook 'em!
