March Madness Challenge
Posted by: Bradley McDonald
Hello, sports fans, and welcome to the 3rd Annual NinetyAndNine.com March Madness tournament challenge!
If you're a new reader and you know little to nothing about basketball, you probably have the best chance of winning, so don't hesitate to sign up (and it's FREE). My dearest mother is still bragging about her 2nd place finish last year, and up until the Final Four, she thought it was a football tournament!
She's not doing too much bragging around my dad, though, because he won the whole thing. I'll see if I can get an exclusive interview with him, to see how he prepared for the challenge and what it took to win it all. I'm sure it'll be loaded with insider info so you will not want to fill out your bracket without reading it!
The tournament is not quite as alluring this year for me, because my alma mater and beloved LSU Tigers aren't even in the tournament after making a Final Four run last year. (Maybe I should host an NIT challenge?)
To sign up, visit this link, click "Play Now," and register. Once you create your team name, click "Join Pool Now" and input the pool number and password below. Please note that the scoring is different than year's past, because the tourney website doesn't offer options anymore.
Pool Name: NinetyAndNine
Pool Number: 3883
Pool Password: 99
And there will be prizes, lots of prizes, for the winner! I believe we have a Harley Davidson, a trip for two to Venice, a jet-ski, and a CD in our prize vault. The Kent will have to verify, but the winner gets any two of the above!***
The tournament begins Thursday around noon, so be sure to sign up soon. Good luck to all and to all a good night!
***Disclaimer: Prizes are subject to availability. In all likelihood, there will only be one prize left of those mentioned above.

Can I just say that your instructions need a little clarifying? You definitely have to do like 5 steps before you can search for the pool.

I just made my picks, but now I am thinking I should at least look at the rankings - but hey, I do know that it is basketball this year!

so in all likelihood, the prize is a CD? yay you! :) I could care less about basketball. Now if it was Big Ten college football, we'd talk...
...the flogging can stop now.
