***GASPARI's NCAA Bracket Busting PROMO***

[dougefresh93]

Here's how it works...

64 people (reps are welcome) each will be randomly assigned a Region and a seed # (example East #1/insert team name) your seed/team will have to cover the spread (or beat the spread) in order to continue.

For example, say Notre Dame is -7 vs Princeton, if Notre Dame wins by more than 7 for person with ND to moves on. If Notre Dame loses or does not cover the spread (ties go to the underdog) the person with Princeton moves on and takes over the loser's team, in this case Notre Dame. If Princeton wins outright, of course they move on.

So if you are stuck with say a 15 seed and a 25 point underdog, you are not basically automatically out, you just need them to cover the spread, and if they do, you take over the #2 seed.

I need entries to be in the green with over 100 posts, a review post, and store review is required (where applicable).

I want to have the 64 players assigned to their teams/seeds before the play-in games on March 13th, so we need to get moving, If we have issues filling the 64 teams, I will turn this over to social media, as well, as on this forum and another.

Final Four players will each win a tub of SizeOn , and the winning Championship team/player will also win a 2 LB tub of Precision Protein.

Vaughn, Spaz, Moo, and myself will participating, in this for fun... if we somehow win, we will randomly select a winning in our stead.

We ran this promo last year, despite it being labor intensive for me, it was incredible fun for all (I think).

my Iona Gaels are a -19.5 underdog... yes they are known as the Gaels!

Go GAELS!​

[dougefresh93]

Missouri, I'm out quick.

8-9 games are a coin toss... gonna be a nail bitter for ya.

just noticed your sig. congrats bro.

 

[TheMovement]

Feeling pretty CONFIDENT!

 

[danielmoo]

That is one full looking bracket. Going to be a good one!

 

[dougefresh93]

Okla (AaronR01) vs. Rhode Is. (dk5bdubs) -2

Wright St (BScober). vs. Tenn. (Lucia316) -12

NC Green. (Customshop) vs Gonzaga (OT2000) -12.5

Penn (2burnt) vs Kansas (stingz) -13.5

iona (me) vs Duke (louie0939) -20.5

Loyola Chi. (Christianmelon) vs Miami (FatboyStick) -2

S. Dakota St.(MSiry) vs OSU (AFDave) -7.5

NC St. (jasssko) vs Seton Hall (schism) -2.5

Radford (Moo) vs Villanova (cory2731) -23.5

Davidson (TrainerTone) vs Kentucky (WOLFBGOLD) -5.5

S Diego St. (AmyhNYC) vs Houston (JKHT) -4

SF Austin (masher230) vs Texas Tech (gailh) -11

Alabama (martynemec) vs Virginia Tech (SeanFxxx) -2

Buffalo (inheayer55) vs Arizona (GQdalENGEND) -2

Montana (krankphreak) vs Michigan (taybear7) -11

The favorite team is in the right column, if they win and fail to cover the losing team that covered the spread will inherit the other team.

(example: Iona loses by 10 and the point spread is 20.5, I as the owner of Iona, take over the Duke team (louie is out) for the 2nd round, since Duke won but did not cover.)


Good luck, this should be fun.
