Game On! March Madness Sweet Sixteen Style (A Contest, Obviously)

Make the picks. Win the cards.

It's pretty simple. Pick the best NCAA bracket and you can win a prize. There are also runner-up prizes. I will also create a bonus contest at some point, selecting a game for anyone, including those who don't want to fill out a bracket, to predict the final score of (game TBD.)

This is the sixteenth edition of the contest, and I appreciate all of you for joining up. Go Ducks!

2025 rules:

• Selection Sunday is March 16th (tomorrow!), which means that is the earliest the brackets can be filled out. The games that actually count for the contest will start on March 20th.
• Default ESPN scoring rules apply. You must fill out the entire bracket, including the tie-breaking final score of the final game.
• First place wins a 2024 Topps Heritage High Number Value Box OR 2025 Topps Heritage Value Box (blaster) or suitable equivalent (subject to availability! up to $24.99 in value!) I will email the winner shortly after the final game to make the prize selection among the available products at the time.
• Second and third place prizes will consist of some team bags of cards from your favorite MLB and/or basketball teams. And maybe some other card junk.
• As always, the worst (honest) bracket will get something, too.
