2010 College Hoops Contest: Guessing the Seeds

Posting this again. I think I accidentally deleted a couple entries that went to my spam folder, so please make sure your "name" is on this list if you've already entered. The deadline to enter is still Friday at midnight.

The format of this one is going to be slightly different than our previous over/under contests, since I figured that in the end nobody really cares how many games a team wins in the regular season, or even in their conference.

What does matter is what seed you end up getting in the tournament, which will be the focus of the contest. The rules are very simple -- each entry will have to guess which four teams will earn #1 seeds, which teams will receive #2 seeds, on and on down to the fourth line. So your entry should look something like this, although possibly with different teams:

Entry Name: JWS

1. Emory
1. Rutgers
1. VCU
1. Richmond

2. Harvard
2. Iowa St.
2. Cleveland St.
2. NJIT

3. Ohio St.
3. Indiana
3. Texas Tech
3. Georgia Tech

4. Florida A&M
4. Georgia St.
4. Kansas
4. North Carolina

There is no tiebreaker. If two people tie, they'll both have to submit tournament brackets to determine the winner. This is a great idea, and will save me a ton of time.

The scoring will be six points for each #1 seed you get right, five for each #2, four for #3, and three for #4, for a grand total of 72 possible points. Please e-mail your entries to vegaswatch@gmail.com by midnight on Friday, December 4; this gives everyone a full week after Thanksgiving to get their picks together.

We'll start the prize pool at $200, although this sort of things tends to increase over time because I just love giving away money. Ask any questions you may have in the comments.
