ZoneZealPool Entry Form (alternate download)
Hi all,
In order to steal another page from what works in sports, I have hit upon the idea of trying to generate some added excitement about the FIRST Championships by starting a Zone Zeal Pool (ala the very popular NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament pools).
Here is how it is going to work:
You make your favorite picks for the tournament.
You submit those picks to us via an Excel spreadsheet mailed to [email protected]
Prior to the tournament, as entries come in, we post information about which teams are being handicapped to go how far.
During and after the Elimination Rounds, we will post the scores and usernames of the higher scoring entries.
After the Championships, we will post the winning entry (so you can all see how that high score was obtained) and to make things interesting, I, personally, will give a $100 gift certificate from Home Depot to the winner.
More rules about who can enter and other details are included in the Excel file and below.
Good Luck.
Joe J.
