Alright folks, we're going to have a Sweet 16 contest this year where people pick the winners of each region. More details to follow shortly. Don't submit entries yet, they won't count. I'm thinking we're going to post the contest sometime Friday or Saturday. Stay tuned for more info.

I love this contest. Thanks for letting us know. Already have mine picked....

For many years the Louisville Courier-Journal had this contest, with the winner getting tickets to the entire state tournament. I looked forward to sending in my postcards every year to try to win that contest. Now I get to look forward to this one. Thanks.

Not a problem. Glad to.

For the newbies around (or those with memories like goldfish) can you enlighten us as to how the competition works?

WE all make our picks and then Goldie takes the prize. That is my recollection anyway.

Should be a straight 16 region selection. You choose who you think will win in every region.

Well I know the draw has a very good chance of having a Ballard/Hopkinsville second round game.

Here's how it works:

 

Step 1:

Pick the winner of each Region (1-16) and put them in this format:

1 -

2 -

3 -

4 -

5 -

6 -

7 -

8 -

9 -

10 -

11 -

12 -

13 -

14 -

15 -

16 -

 

 

Step #2:

Pick Tiebreaker #1 -

 

In case of a tie, Tiebreaker #1 will be picking the region who's championship game will have the highest combined score. You don't have to pick the highest overall just the highest of the members you are tied with.

 

TIEBREAKER #1 -

 

 

Step #3:

Pick Tiebreaker #2 -

 

In case of a tie after the scores for Tiebreaker #1 are calculated, Tiebreaker #2 will be picking the region who's championship game will have the lowest combined score. Again, you don't have to pick the lowest overall just the highest of the members you are tied with.

 

 

Step #4:

Understand Tiebreaker #3-

 

In case of a tie after the scores for Tiebreaker #2 are calculated, Tiebreaker #3 will be the time of your post, so get your predictions in early!

The Kentucky Post in NKY also had a contest similar to the one you mention. 2 tickets to all the games and a hotel room for 4 nights. I never won but a friend of mine did. Looking forward to this contest.

I used to look forward to their contest every March. One year I had enough picks to win but apparently lost the TB since a three year old kid won.

Almost time. Remember, no posts in this thread, I'll open one dedicated solely to picks.
