I wanted to run a contest and give away a prize for the playoffs this year and since someone is already running a pick 'em contest I am going to run a bracket challenge.

Rules:
1. You must be a member of Ohio Chatter to participate (otherwise you couldn't post your bracket).
2. Your regional bracket must be received before the first playoff games kickoff (7:29pm on Friday, Nov 5th).
2. Your state bracket must be received before the first state semi-final games kickoff (Fri, Nov 25th)
3. The member who accumulates the most points wins.

Points will be awarding in the following manner:
1. A correct pick in the 1th round is worth 1 pt.
2. A correct pick in the 2nd round is worth 2 pts.
3. A correct pick in the Regional finals is worth 4 pts.
4. A correct pick in the State semifinals is worth 8 pts.
5. A correct pick in the State finals is worth 16 pts.

Prize:
1. The member who finishes with the most points will win their choice of mini helmet from T-Mac Sports (~$32 value). (Once determined I will order the helmet and have it shipped to you).

How to enter:
1. Send me a PM with your picks. Remember, you are picking the entire regional bracket at once. Not a week at a time.
2. Post in this thread that your PM is sent.

I'll up the PM limit.

PM text limit has been increased so you'll be able to send all of your picks in one PM.

Cool just tryin to make it easy on you and get everyone on the same page.

I appreciate it.

Too bad there isn't a way we could have figured out to do it in the actual bracket format...would have made it a lot easier.

I do a bracket contest for this as well with the group that goes to all the games with us each year. Good times!

I will get in on this if I can find the time to send my picks this week...crazy week at work.

I sent mine in, just incredible.

T Mac doesn't have Carrollton or Minerva helmets ... guess I don't need to play ... lol

My picks are sent!

My picks are sent. Am I supposed to wait until the Regions are complete to pick my state bracket, or am I supposed to pick the state bracket based on my regional champs?

You'll have to wait until the State brackets are set since there could be re-bracketing that would make your picks irrelevant.
