Here's the deal, pretty much copied from my contest post from last year...
All you need to do to enter is to be a follower of the blog and fill out this 2011 MLB postseason bracket. Since none of the match-ups are decided yet, it's blank, but by Thursday morning, or whenever all the postseason spots are locked in, I will re-post a filled out bracket so that you don't need to figure everything out on your own.
It’s
pretty easy to play, just pick the teams you think will win each round
of the playoffs up through the World Series champ. All rounds are
weighed equally. To avoid a tie, you also need to select the number of
games the World Series will last (between 4-7) and the total number of
runs in the final game of the World Series. If there is a tie after all
that, then random.org will be used to decide the winner.
As far as the prizes go for this, I was going
to list a bunch of cards that the winner could choose from but I have
decided to just say that I'll work with the winner to make sure that
they are happy with their winnings. It will be something good from my
selection of autographs, bobbleheads, inserts, short prints, and base cards. Your
prize will be something that will make you happy.
If
you link to my contest on your blog, I will let you submit two
brackets. Everyone else gets one. Start spreading the word and check
back by whenever all the playoff teams are locked in for the match-ups and to begin submitting your
guesses. Cutoff time for submissions is going to be just before the
first game start time on Friday. Good luck everyone!
