Official Nubblies Contest #6: March Madness - Nubblies.net Forums

Orgazmo · 03-10-2004, 06:58 PM

Partially overlapping with the currently running Roadkilling ONC, this battle will take place on virtually equal ground. For the 6th Nubblies contest, each member will be allowed to fill out a single bracket outlining their predictions college basketball.

It's pretty simple. Everyone who wants to participate will join a group that I've made on espn. Everyone will fill out a bracket. The member with the most points at the end of the tournament will be given the the winner of the contest.

How do you join the group? I'll tell you.

Go here. If you don't have an account with espn...make one. This is kind of important. While making your account, in the "nickname" slot, put your Nubblies nickname. Your actual espn username doesn't matter so much, just make sure your Nubblies ID is your 'nickname.' After creating your account, you'll be given the option to join a group. Go ahead and do this. This is what you're looking for.

Group Name: Nubblies.net Forums
Password: sexbear

Once you're all joined up, you're good to go. You can't make your selections until the official bracket is released (March 14th). Once that happens, we'll all make our picks and pray for the best.

Go ahead and sign up now.

In.

I've always hated what a pain in the ass it is to join an ESPN group. This year seemed a little easier after my previous two years of stumbling in the league, but that doesn't make it right.

Since this is my first and probably last chance to earn an N myself, I'm probably just going to go ahead and win.

Another thing: Registering will reveal whatever you put in the "name" category whilst making your account. If anonymity is something that you cherish, use something fake there. So long as your nickname is your username, things are good.

Oh well... I'm in.

Count me in. Just to let you all know, I am going to win. Hope this doesn't cause too much of a problem.

Orgazmo · 03-11-2004, 08:27 PM

I don't remember much about the chap. Only his religion and sexual orientation. Jew & Homo...respectively.

Do you remember who it was...Vol...?

I jest in good spirits buddy.

Orgazmo · 03-12-2004, 12:22 AM

There are only 7 entries into the group...

...but we have 596 members...

...who is holding out?

I think it's fair to say that any human with a Nubblies ID but not registered with the Nubblies Tournament Challenge group is a terrorist.

Orgazmo · 03-14-2004, 11:20 PM

If you haven't joined yet...do it.

If you have joined, you can now make your entry. Just click on "Entry: Yourname" in the top, left corner of the page after you log in. Best of luck, fucker.

What if someone waits until a few games have been decided to make their choices. Is that possible?

By the way, I've already made my picks. Stanford vs. Pitt in the National Championship. I took a chance on those two, so they better not let me down. I want a golden N.

And it's very disappointing that the state (Indiana) that invented and put basketball on the map only has 1 team in Valpo. What is Indiana basketball coming to?

Orgazmo · 03-15-2004, 12:41 AM

Pretty sure you have to submit your bracket before it all starts.

03-15-2004, 03:16 AM

My final four looks like this:

Kentucky
St Joseph
Duke
Maryland
(kind of generic, yes i know)

I have Kentucky beating Duke in the final.

Yeah, just filled mine out. I don't really know what to think.

VOL · 03-16-2004, 12:30 AM

I'll tell you what to think. IU, Notre Dame, Purdue and Butler all dissapointed this state.

VOL · 03-16-2004, 03:59 PM

Trying to find an upside to this current situation with only having the representation of Valpo, the NIT will have Purdue and Notre Dame going against each other in the first round. So if you are an Irish fan like me, or a Purdue fan at least you have something to shake a stick at. As for IU. Well, you guys may have to wait until next year.

VOL · 03-18-2004, 01:25 PM

The game locks at 12:20pm ET. So if you have not made your picks, do so before this time.

VOL · 03-18-2004, 05:12 PM

Now that the game is locked and I see the picks, I can olny say that barely anyone chose many upsets. Although Harry, OK St. national champions, huge pick and quite possible. I'm the only one with Stanford. Shame on everyone who did not fill out their bracket, although we do have 13 nubblites out for this contest. Good turnout.
