THE J & S FOUNDATION'S MARCH
MADNESS
Welcome to The J & S Foundation's Seventh
Annual March Madness Contest. March Madness 2006 marks the first of four
contests in The J & S Foundation's Contests of Champions.
As with all four contests in the Contests of Champions, March Madness 2006 is
open to the public.
The NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament begins on Tuesday, March 14th with the
opening round game or play-in game between tournament seeds # 64 vs. # 65. This
game is not included in the March Madness 2006 contest. March Madness 2006
begins with the first round games starting on Thursday, March 16th. However, if
you decide to select the winner of the play-in game to advance past the number
one seed in the first round, please write play-in winner on your bracket. March
Madness 2006 concludes with the national championship game on Monday, April 3rd.
For the seventh consecutive year, The J & S Foundation's March Madness official
tournament bracket can be found at
cbs.sportsline.com. Please use this bracket for your official entry form.
Place your name and phone number in the upper right corner if mailing or faxing
your bracket. This year we have also added the option of filling out your
bracket online @
http://jands.mayhem.sportsline.com. All brackets submitted manually will be
added to the website and everyone will be able to get updates on standings from
the site throughout the tournament.
Contest Format
The NCAA tournament consists of six rounds and 63 games, not including the
play-in game. For each game in which you correctly predict the winner, you will
receive a corresponding point value associated with that particular round of the
tournament. The point values are as follows:
1st round win = 1 point
2nd round win = 2 points
3rd round win = 4 points
4th round win = 6 points
5th round win = 8 points
6th round win = 10 points
March Madness 2006 consists of 146 total points. The participant with the
closest combined point total to 146 points will be declared the champion. If,
after the NCAA championship game, two or more participants are tied with
identical point totals, the participant closest to the combined score, either
over or under, of the championship game, will be declared the champion. The
winner's score will be the second tiebreaker and the loser's score will be the
third tiebreaker.
Total prize money will be determined by the number of entries. Only the champion
will receive prize money.
