The rules for all our 3 contests are listed below. Yes, we are 5 weeks away but there is an Early Bird Special we are running. If you sign up before 2/21, for every $100 in entry fees, you will get one free entry in the WCC/MVC Challenge. You will predict both of those conference tournaments and whoever has the most points wins a Free entry into the Survivor ($40 value). There will be 1 free Survivor berth per every 10 entries in the Challenge. For any questions or to get in, e-mail pinnaclesurvivor@gmail.com


MARCH MADNESS SURVIVOR
$40 per entry, 3 for $100
You must pick one team per each day of the March Madness tournament, and you can only pick one team twice, which you would presumably try to save for the final. However there IS one change for this year.....the First Four will count as a day in this contest. So for the Tuesday-Wednesday games, you must pick one team to win and survive. If you miss the Tuesday games, you CAN pick the Wednesday games, so Wednesday March 20 at 12PM will be the absolute final deadline for all entries.


You will be allowed to buyback only once, after the First Four, for $100.


As always with Survivors, once you lose, you're eliminated and once we get towards the end, splits can be requested.


MARCH MADNESS BANK CONTEST
$50 per entry


This will run exactly the same as last year. Prior to Day 1, you must pick 16 teams, each a unique seed. If you win, you get 17 minus the opposing team's seed (so if you beat a 5 seed, you get 12 points, etc). After each round, you can bank a team's points, but then you cannot amass any more points from them for the rest of the contest. Conversely, if you let it ride and they lose, you will lose all the points scored and get a big fat zero. Top 3 will be winners.


CONFIDENCE BRACKET CONTEST
$100 per entry, capped at 64 entries


This is the new one I mentioned in the last e-mail and there's definitely interest in it and it should be fun. The full rules are listed below but in the nutshell...You will first pick all 4 ATS & Totals for the First Four games, giving them a Confidence ranking from 8 through 1, plus a total score tiebreaker. You cannot be eliminated here, but all the scores will be sorted and that will determine your seed. So the top 4 scores will be the #1 seeds, then the #2 seeds, etc.


After Wednesday night, we will have a bracket set with all 64 entries. Should there be less than 64 entries, byes will be awarded to those top seeds.


Thursday will be Round 1. You will pick 10 ATS & Totals for the 16 games (32 possible picks) and rank them 10 through 1. You will go head to head with whoever is on your line, so 1 vs 16, 8 vs 9, etc. and whoever gets the highest score will advance. If your pick pushes, you will get half the confidence points assigned. If there is a tie, the better seed will advance, so all the more important to get your First Four picks correct.


Friday is Round 2, and the full schedule of Rounds can be found on the PDF sheet attached. Our Championship Round will consist of real-life Elite Eight, Final Four and Championship Game. This is the only contest that will have a cap of 64 entries, so waiting on this could cause you to be shut out.

The deadlines to sign up are quickly approaching.

Survivor uses the First Four games do the absolute deadline to get in is Wednesday at 3PMET.

The bank contest is the only one that has the traditional Thursday deadline.
