How to Enter

1. The most convenient method of entry for those with internet access would be the web entry form which can be accessed here. Otherwise, get thee a copy of the NCAA Men's Tournament Bracket. The most convenient place to get one would be the sports section of your local newspaper. You can also get the brackets at various sports related web sites (ESPN, FinalFour.net, CBS Sportsline, etc.). If you are planning to enter online via this web site, skip to step 6 below.

2. Fill out the brackets completely using all the college basketball wisdom you can conjure up.

3. Make a prediction for the total combined score for the championship game. For instance, if you think the final score will be 82-76, your prediction would be 158.

4. Create a nickname for yourself. This is important, because if you don't give us one, we'll make one up for you. Historically, these assigned nicknames have not been flattering.

5. Send all that precious information this-away before the first game on Thursday, March 14. Obviously, the fastest way to get the info here is by e-mail (dfeng(at)hwci.com and smt2(at)hwci.com). However, you can also send it via snail mail, so long as it is post marked by March 13th. Those going the e-mail route will have to manually type in all your picks. The most efficient way of completing this tedious task is to send in your picks as follows:

Nickname:
Final game total score:
NCAA Champion:
Runner-up:
Final Four losers (round 5):
Round 4 losers (4 teams):
Round 3 losers (8 teams):
Round 2 losers (16 teams): Those going the snail mail route can send the info to me at: David Feng
14127 El Mirador St.
La Mirada, CA 90638 6. And finally, you must send your entry fee of $10 to me at the address immediately above. Are we trustworthy enough to trust us with your credit card numbers? Yes! Are we technologically sophisticated enough to offer that option? No! Hence checks are the preferred means of payment. All entry fees must be paid by Thursday, March 21. Remember, if you have any questions, address them to dfeng(at)hwci.com or to smt2(at)hwci.com.
