2012 MARCH MADNESS "Pick'em" Game!
Feb 24^th, 2012, 6:57pm

Hello Meta players and Stratego fans.

Here it is, the game everybody loves.

The March Madness "PICK'EM" contest. A game in which you win by making good choices using your insight, instinct, and knowledge of the players.

"PICK'EM" is open to all members of Metaforge.....whether your playing in the tournament or not. So all members are encouraged to participate and play along. Who know's, maybe you can be the "PICK'EM" champion.

Instructions
1. Right click on the brackets below and click "save image as", I can also email the bracket image to anybody wanting to play.
2. pick a name and place to save the image.
3. Choose if you want to print the bracket, fill it out, and rescan.....or edit it using a program.

To fill out manually, just print off the brackets and fill them out NEATLY! Then rescan them and send them to me.

To edit with a program. Open the picture in MS Paint, Photoshope, or any other photo editing program. Edit the jpg by filling in the players you think will win each game. Save the image and then email it to me.

Either way you choose, when your done, your brackets should look similar to this example I'm using Sohal's entry for this example. Notice a winner was picked for every game and matchup.

Deadline to turn in your brackets will be February 29th at 11:59pm (est). Please send completed brackets to me at tnrockyraccoon@yahoo.com or better yet, use these instructions posted by Razorclaw to post your brackets to this thread.

lighty, looks like you used the original bracket which had an error. The North winner should play the South, and East vs. West. So you'll have to redo your Final Four picks with Horse against you, and hielco vs. Blas.

light > horse
blas > hielco

1- light(1) > blas(2)
3- hielco(3) > horse(4)

Mind if I post it like this? Filling in those brackets are time consuming as it is, can not be bothered to get into another fight with MSPaint.
