March Madness Basketball Cointest...

[Odyssey Voyager]

Hello again everybody! Now that the regular college basketball seasons have concluded and left us all with such great memories and a love for the game, is anyone up for some March Madness?! If so...then welcome to the March Madness Basketball Cointest! All participating players have a chance to win one very nice Honu Turtle Geocoin Shiny Silver Edition for the Tournament Champion. The 3 other teams that make it to the Final Four will win a nice consolation prize! Here is a picture of the Honu Turtle in case you haven't already seen it:

 

 

COINTEST RULES:

 

There are 64 college basketball teams in the NCAA final tournament bracket. I have 64 blank index cards, and I will place the name of one college team from the tournament on each card. I will then shuffle them all up, and without looking at the team name, I will number the back of each card with a number from 1 to 64. All you have to do is PICK ANY TWO random and different numbers between 1 and 64 that HAVE NOT already been picked. This will allow for a maximum of 32 PLAYERS and each player will have 2 teams or 2 chances to win the whole tournament! So jump in the game quickly before all the teams and numbers are taken! When all the numbers have been selected, or when the tournament begins this Thursday, I will reveal the team name that correspond to each number, and the cointest entries will be closed. It is so simple and easy, you don't even have to know anything about college basketball.

 

I will update this post as often as possible to show available numbers (scroll down to a current post to see updated list of available numbers), but please review all selected numbers to make sure your number choice is still available. I will contact you if a number you pick has already been chosen. Again, once we have 32 players, the cointest will be closed. Are you ready for the madness to begin?! Game on! Good luck to all!

 

ONLY 1 ENTRY POST PER FORUM MEMBER OR FAMILY. In the interest of fairness, if you and your family have 3 different accounts, please only enter only once per family (yes, I will check, and no sockpuppet accounts allowed either!) Think carefully about your 2 numbers before posting, as no editing will be allowed without permission first. So if you make an error in your post or you want to change your numbers for any reason, please just send me a PM so I can note the changes and times in my records BEFORE correcting or editing your original post entry. Thats about it as far as rules go, but if you have a question feel free to ask away and I'll do my best to answer. This cointest will end on Monday, April 5, 2010 when the final champion is determined.

 

Above all else...HAVE FUN!

How about 7 and 52?

 

I don't really follow college basketball until the tourney starts but it looks like Kansas and Kentucky have been playing well. But there are always those upsets that everyone loves!

[+GATOULIS]

I have no idea about College basketball teams except that players from there, often come and play in Greek teams too!

 

the coin is a lovely one! WOW!
