OK, BellaOnline has done various press releases over the years and none really have gotten any attention. Looking at news websites, they seem to really like only "strange" news. So I'm going for something strange here.

This contest involves you putting in your name, your ASTROLOGICAL SIGN, and then which basketball teams you think will end up in the Final Four. Then choose the one you think will win. The list of teams is here -

http://www.ncaasports.com/basketball/mens/brackets/

Because I thought this up so late, all guesses have to be in by Thursday March 18th at 4pm EST - i.e. before the games actually begin. No edits can be made to any posts. Once it goes in, that's your guess. Only adults 18 or older can play, must be legal residents of the US or UK. All other rules are found here -

http://www.bellaonline.com/misc/sweeps/rules.asp

When March Madness is over, each person who plays will get one point for each right answer (counting the final four plus winner means a possible total of 5 points). Whoever has the most points wins! If there's a tie we'll do a random drawing amongst all people who got that highest score. The winner will get a $50 Amazon gift certificate. Worth $50 <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Hopefully I can then do a press release comparing the number of high-point entries and certain astrological signs, and maybe THAT will get us some press coverage!! <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Good Luck!

Final Winner: Chicago


P.S. I do not follow basketball...and know absolutely nothing about this....so it would be very good luck indeed if I won.

Quel - no editing!! Otherwise we won't know at the end of the contest if you edited it after games were played <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Re-post your guesses in a new post without editing it please, for it to be valid <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
