Bet Jamaica/Kojak's March Madness Contest!
I AM HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE THE SECOND OF TWO GREAT CONTESTS BEING SPONSORED BY BET JAMAICA WHICH IS THE KOJAK'S MARCH MADNESS CONTEST. WE HAD PUT UP A STARTER THREAD EARLY ON THIS CONTEST AND THOSE THAT POSTED THEY WERE IN WILL GET THE FIRST SHOT TO ENTER BUT STILL PLENTY OF SPOTS AVAILABLE. THIS CONTEST IS ALSO A PAID CONTEST WITH AN ENTRY FEE OF $200 AND IS OPEN TO ANYONE BUT WILL BE CAPPED OUT AT 64 CONTESTANTS. THE REASON FOR THIS IS THERE ARE ONLY 64 TEAMS IN THE NCAA TOURNAMENT. THIS WILL BE A 2 PART CONTEST. HERE IS HOW IT WILL WORK:
PART 1: THIS PART OF THE CONTEST WILL BE RUN SIMILAR TO THE JMAN PICK 4 NFL CONTEST. EACH CONTESTANT WILL SELECT 10 GAMES A WEEK VS THE SPREAD. EACH WEEK WILL BEGIN ON SUNDAY AND END ON SATURDAY EXCEPT FOR THE FIRST WEEK OF THE CONTEST WHICH WILL START ON JANUARY 7TH AND END ON FOLLOWING SATURDAY JANUARY 14TH. ALL LINES WILL BE USED FROM OLYMPIC AND WILL BE POSTED THE NIGHT BEFORE THE FOLLOWING DAY'S GAMES. A CONTESTANT MUST SUBMIT 10 GAMES A WEEK. IF THEY DON'T MEET THE REQUIRED 10 GAMES, THEY WILL COUNT AS LOSSES. FOR EXAMPLE IF YOU LIST ONLY 9 GAMES FOR THE WEEK, 10 THE GAME WILL BE AN AUTOMATIC LOSS. GAMES POSTED MONDAY THRU FRIDAY MUST BE SUBMITTED BEFORE 5:30 PM CENTRAL TIME TO BE COUNTED. GAMES ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY MUST BE SUBMITTED 1/2 HOUR BEFORE START OF FIRST GAME. THERE IS NO REQUIRED AMOUNT OF PLAYS FOR A GIVEN DAY JUST THAT 10 GAMES MUST BE SELECTED DURING THE CONTEST WEEK. THE FINAL WEEK OF THE CONTEST WILL END ON TOURNAMENT SELECTION SUNDAY INSTEAD OF SATURDAY. THE TOP 5 PEOPLE IN THE CONTEST WILL RECEIVE CASH/OR FREE CASH ACCOUNT FROM BET JAMAICA. PRIZES WILL BE DETERMINED ONCE FINAL AMOUNT OF CONTESTANTS FUNDS ARE COLLECTED. ALL FUNDS RECEIVED WILL BE GO OUT IN PRIZE MONEY OR CONTEST EXPENSES AND 25% OF ALL FUNDS COLLECTED WILL BE MATCHED BY BET JAMAICA. IN CASE OF A TIE IN ANY OF THE TOP 5 POSITIONS, THE TIEBREAKER USED WILL BE WHAT YOUR PREDICTED PERCENTAGE OF WINNERS OVERALL ATS FOR THE CONTEST WILL BE. FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU WON 90 OUT OF 120 PLAYS FOR 75% AND YOU PREDICTED 60% AND THE OTHER PLAYER YOU TIED WITH PREDICTED 65%, THE ONE WHO PREDICTED THE CLOSEST TO ACTUAL WINNING PERCENTAGE WOULD WIN. ALSO, PART 1 WILL HAVE A GRAND PRIZE TRIP AWARDED AS WELL TO THE WINNER...........
A FREE TRIP FOR 2 PEOPLE TO INDIANAPOLIS FOR 5 DAYS AND 4 NIGHTS TO THE 2006 FINAL FOUR! TRIP WILL INCLUDE AIRFARE, HOTEL, AND TICKETS TO BOTH SEMIFINAL GAMES AS WELL AS THE NATIONAL TITLE GAME!
PART 2: THE SECOND PART OF THE CONTEST WILL BE A ATS BRACKET CONTEST. HERE IS HOW IT WILL WORK. BET JAMAICA AT THE CONCLUSION OF PART 1 OF THE CONTEST AND ANNOUNCING OF THE NCAA TOURNAMENT, WILL PUT ALL 64 TEAMS NAMES INTO A HAT (NOTE: 64TH TEAM WILL BE PUT IN AS A PLAY IN GAME WINNER). STARTING IN REVERSE ORDER OF PART 1 CONTEST RESULTS,THEY WILL DRAW TEAMS OUT AND ASSIGN ONE TO EACH CONTESTANT. FOR EXAMPLE, IF WE GET THE FULL 64 CONTESTANTS, THE PERSON THAT FINISHED 64TH IN PART 1 WILL GET FIRST TEAM DRAWN, THEN 63RD THEN SO ON UP TO WINNER OF PART 1. IN THE CASE THAT THERE ARE NOT 64 CONTESTANTS, THE INDIVIDUALS WHO FINISHED AT THE TOP OF PART 1 OF THE CONTEST MAY HAVE 2 TEAMS. FOR EXAMPLE, IF ONLY 45 PEOPLE ENTERED THE CONTEST, THERE WOULD BE 19 TEAMS STILL NEEDING TO BE ASSIGNED THEREFORE TOP 19 FINISHERS IN FIRST PART OF CONTEST IN FINISHING ORDER WILL GET DRAWN A SECOND TEAM.
HERE IS HOW IT WORKS. FOR EXAMPLE, USING KOJAK AND JMAN AS CONTESTANTS, KOJAK DREW DUKE AND JMAN DREW COASTAL CAROLINA AND THEY FACED OFF IN FIRST ROUND OF TOURNAMENT. SAY DUKE WAS FAVORED BY 40 POINTS BUT ONLY WON BY 35. DUKE DID NOT COVER SO JMAN WOULD ADVANCE TO SECOND ROUND AND ASSUME DUKE FROM KOJAK. THIS WILL BE DONE ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME. THE TOP 4 FINISHERS WILL WIN CASH PRIZES OR FREE CASH ACCOUNT FROM BET JAMAICA BASED ONCE AGAIN ON TOTAL AMOUNT OF COLLECTED FUNDS BASED ON AMOUNT OF ENTRIES.

1. YOU MUST OPEN UP AN ACCOUNT AT BET JAMAICA.
2. YOU MUST PUT $200 INTO YOUR BET JAMAICA ACCOUNT. ALL ENTRY FEES ARE NON REFUNDABLE.
3. YOU MUST EMAIL OR CALL BET JAMAICA TO HAVE THEM TAKE THE MONEY FROM YOUR ACCOUNT AND PLACED INTO THE MARCH MADNESS ACCOUNT.
