Hey buddies,
Last year Chris Ford organized a bracket challenge, and though I didn’t participate it seemed to work out with little to no complications. I basically just cut and pasted Mr. Ford’s set-up for the challenge from last year . There is no website that recognizes our tournament type, so we’ll do this the old fashioned way. Print out your brackets and write as legibly as possible in those small spaces. A name will help, too. I’ll be at YSC by 4:45 (field to be determined) and will accept brackets until 5:15ish.
Scoring is as follows: 1 point first round, 2 points second, 3 points third, 4 points fourth, and 5 points fifth, with upsets worth double the points for each round. Complete both sides of the bracket and be sure to include the tiebreaker, which is the total score of the championship game.
Winner of the bracket challenge gets the satisfaction of winning. I’d offer a prize, but I’m not totally convinced one of you wouldn’t throw a game for a 12-pack of Hamms. Seriously, I need to say that there is some concern that any type of contest or betting could influence reffing, so let’s just all recognize how uncool that would be and plan to use our moral and ethical compass to guide us past such temptations.
Still working on a catchy name for this part of the season… Kickapalooza? August Awesomeness? Kickrocksas? Dances With Kickballs? I’m leaning towards Lawrence Fucking Kickball. Somebody please help me. Good luck on the bracket and on your games, I’m getting super excited for tournament time.
Cheers,
Coach Billy Gay Cyrus
