Talking Bracket Time! Win Big With Apex Mod Madness

What's in it for you?

First place wins a gift certificate for $300 at the apex-speed website.

Second place wins a gift certificate for $200 at the apex-speed website.

Third place wins a gift certificate for $100 at the apex-speed website.




Let the madness begin.

March means college basketball tournament time, and this time around Apex Motorsports is challenging you to test your prognosticating abilities, your team research, expert analysis or just good old-fashioned luck.

It's the Apex Motorsports

Bracket Challenge
.

The Rules
There are about 6 tons of fine print that those legal folks are always so happy about. You can read them all at this link. But basically, here's the scoop:

1. Limited to 199 players (we will decide later if we want to add more)
2. You must be 18 or over to play
3. Only one bracket per person.
4. Selections can be made any time, though we suggest that you wait until the teams are selected!
5. Selections must be completed by the deadline on March 15th. (11:59am)
6. Top score in first, second and third place win. Points are scored each round with progressive points per game. (see full rules for details).
7. Don't forget to pick your tie-breaker. If you don't... it could cost you the win!
8. Apex Motorsports is in the game, but don't worry, we're not eligible to win.
9. Have Fun!

I'd say that's sound advice for sure.

I know ZERO about college basketball. I couldn't tell you a singel team in the top 10.

But I might take a stab in the dark at this anyway.

Just registered. I'd suggest others do that as well. The site says it's only open to the first 199 people that register.

I would think it was good advice as well, but at least 3 people have already made their selections! Of course, they can always change them up to the deadline... but remember... if the tie breaker is a tie, the second tie breaker is the person with the earliest time stamp... but the time stamp changes if you make any changes to your bracket!!!

By the way, the points tie breaker is the total points in the final game , meaning both teams scores combined.

I can do as well with just the way you guys have them seeded. That's what I'll be picking anyway even after the selections.

Mine is done.

BTW, your pick screen creates a cool optical illusion. If you look at the right side, the left side is green and same on the other side.

Check the fine print; We have to verify the winners. (Lawyers )

Okay, I don't want to give away anything yet... everyone will be able to see every one else's picks once the game begins... but PQ your tie breaker wins for craziest thing on the board so far.

This game is going to be fun!

Nothing personal. My dad's side of the family is from Utica and he was raised a UK fan. I never really cared for Bob Knight growing up, so I followed suit. It can be hard here in Hoosier country, especially with IU's last second three being their only loss so far this year.

I actually live in Hoosier country. One of my sisters went to UK, so we had the rivalry within the same family! I actually don't mind the cats, as long as they are not facing the cardinals.

Are you talking Utica, Indiana? That's like five minutes from me.

Sometimes blind luck is all you need. Pick the right "upset" games and it could make all the difference.
