Competitions The Bracket - Something to make the Final mildly more interesting

[TheCount]

Alright kids, lets try and draw a bit of extra excitement out of the finals, and pick The Bracket.

We'll play two games ...

1. Pick the whole Bracket from start to finish in a knock out format.
2. Pick each week with Winner and Margin in a points competition, with scoring as follow
1pt for picking the winner
+ 9pts for within 1 of the margin
8pts for within 2
7pts for within 3
6pts for within 4
5pts for within 5
4pts for within 6
3pts for within 7-12
2pts for within 13-18
1pt for within 19-24

Submit your full Bracket before 8.10pm AST Tomorrow (Thurs 05/09), with your margins for week 1 included.

The winner gets something we as Melbourne fans have felt so sparingly in regards to finals football ... Pride.

I’m too pissed to understand the rules but I won’t let this prevent me from submitting something within the timeframe

 

[Proper Gander]

And the word pissed is picking up the filter? That one is weird

Actually, strike that, Bris would play GWS in week2, so they can't both win.
Your Week2 would be Pies v Eagles (winner playing Rich in W3) and Bris v GWS (winner playing Geelong in W3)

I believe I should be 3rd last sir. How dare you ignore the majestic hierarchy of alphabetical order.

 

[Proper Gander]

I forgot to enter. Twice.

Still okay though. I’ll get my vicarious thrills hopping on the dee_mac bandwagon
