It's MARCH MADNESS TIME - And EAW is going to have its own little competition over the annual extravaganza. 

I apologize - but it is going to be on ESPN - So for you Yahoo users, you'll just have to suck it up and make an ESPN account if you didn't already. It takes 2 minutes, you'll be fine. Stop being lazy.

Now here is where you join at:

http://games.espn.go.com/tournament-challenge-bracket/2015/en/group?groupID=730348

Password = EAW1 (Capital letters ON)



Now WHY join the competition? I'll tell you why: You have 5 potential rewards, you choose which ONE you want to receive if your bracket happens to finish # 1 in the group.

1.) Ownership for 2 weeks in the chat.

2.) Be the focal point of the next chat BG.

3.) Get to go to a mini board meeting between Tyler and I for any upcoming Showdown of your choice - to get the inside scoop. I'll even let you help me book the card in its entirety. No matter who you are - you can essentially book the Showdown card yourself (within reason) for one week of your choosing!

4.) Get to go to a mini board meeting between Senn and Xavier for any upcoming Dynasty of your choice - to get the inside scoop. They'll even let you help me book the card in its entirety. No matter who you are - you can essentially book the Dynasty card yourself (within reason) for one week of your choosing!

5.) Gets to sit in the EAWBoardMeeting chat while the EAW Draft happens LIVE.


UPDATED: DUE TO THE ACTIVITY - WE ARE ADDING 2ND AND 3RD PLACE REWARDS AS WELL! It will be still what is above, but 1st place gets 1st pick of what they want. 2nd place can choose among the remaining 4 options... ditto for 3rd place, but with the remaining 3 options.

(Example: Brian finishes 1st, selects Option # 5. Dub finishes 2nd, Option #5 is no longer an option, but he can still choose between 1-4 still. Etc. )

---

This is always a great time of year for competitiveness, with March Madness AND Grand Rampage right around the corner - so let's hope this just adds to it. Do your research  - and may the best bracket WIN! Thanks to those in advance who join!

ok ive joined the only thing i like more than wrestling is collage basketball lets go DUKE

Do you guys mind naming your bracket after your EAW Ring name or something? That way it is easy to figure out who is who. 

Example: "Lannister" is the name of mine. Seeing some like "Shock and Awe" (instead of "Nick Angel") and it's just ehhh.

sounds fun.


also we should do something like this for the Stanley Cup Playoffs!

Considering I don't know shit about whatever it is thing is even based on, I'm gonna sit this out.

However, I'd like to petition that I'm granted all 3 of the above rewards, just because I'm such a good guy.

My bracket is called "TylerParkerSucks" but I put Charles in parenthesis!

That works!

Is Makacocks acceptable?

AWESOME. Over 15 sign-ups right now. If we get the number to at least 25-30 we can make 2nd and 3rd place winners, too!

This is going to be more fun/competitive than I ever thought.

Yes it is.

Hopefully it's cool that I signed up even though I'm new around here. Love me some college basketball. 

I'm joining.

Mine is in #BBN Go Cats!!

Updated the stipulations!

As defending champ from last year (I won by a mere margin), I declare that there are too many going for my crown this year. Jokes aside, it's going to be much more fun this year with this many people around. Good luck to everyone. Lets go Dub Gets Gordon!

well shit.

IOWA STATE YOU FAILED ME

Rather start now than later

Iowa State and Baylor have both failed me.

Alright, we're at the finals. Wisconsin vs. Duke on Monday.


These will be the placements based off who wins:


If Wisconsin wins:

1.) Dub
2.) Brian
3.) Norman

If Duke wins:

1.) Jay
2.) Ventura
3.) Ariana


Best of luck to those who still have a chance! Remember, top 3 get a prize, with # 1 getting first dibs, then so on. Let this last one be a good one! Thanks to all whom have participated.

I smell a 2-peat. Sorry to all the Kentucky lovers but it comes down to 5 people who were brave enough to pick the minnows rather, a team that wasn't undefeated. Regardless, goodluck to everyone left!

It was great to be a part of this while it lasted. Thought Kentucky were going to win it but oh well. This gave me a reason to actually care about March Madness. I wouldn't mind doing this again next year. Best of luck to everyone who still has a chance. Kind of pulling for Wisconsin now.

FINALLY

TOO GOOD
