The BIG DANCE is HERE!

PUNCH YOUR TICKET TO THE MADNESS!
> Selection Sunday is here and the brackets are out! KANSAS, KENTUCKY, DUKE and SYRACUSE are number 1 seeds. Now it is time for your study and decisions about the matchups for the 2010 tournament. You are only 63 games away from the HUNTINGTON ACRES MARCH MADNESS CHAMPIONSHIP and THE JOSH WISE TROPHY! At right MIKE SAVAGE celebrates his 2009 win, by hoisting the trophy at the year end party!

CLARIFICATION - ENTRY FEES AND NEW CONTEST!
>ENTRY FEE for the prediction contest is $20!
-$15 will go to the Prize money pot, as in previous years!
-$5 will go to a new contest - There will be a pooling of $5 from each entrant. This pool of money will be awarded to the person or persons who correctly predict the national champion! If there is more than one person, then the money will be equally split among those who were correct. For example, if the total pool is $150 and 5 people predict the correct national champion then each person will get $30. If only one person is correct then they would win $150! So this will give everyone a chance to get some or all of their money back even if you do not place in the money positions.
-There will still be a PARTY FUND of $10 / household!
-The SWEET SIXTEEN DRAWING will still be $5!
-Please disregard my previous blog about an additional contest for $5 more - sorry for the confusion - I just figured this out! Slow thinker!

OVERTIME
>The tiebreaker for the First Place position only will be the Total Points for the National Championship game. However, it would be important to now which teams are playing before an educated opinion can be made. Therefore, I will contact any potential players who would be in contention for First Place on the Sunday before the National Championship game. We have never had to use the tiebreaker in the past!

FREE THROWS
> Remember the SWEET SIXTEEN DRAWING! Entry fee is $5. Your position in the drawing order is based on when Money is received!
