[Colorado-Talk] Fw: Mile High Madness is Back!

Wed Mar 15 12:56:45 UTC 2023

 I always enjoy a funny joke to start my morning. You all are going down as I am going to be the bracket King!

As for our state President, I am concerned her March Madness may have already turned to March Sadness as her Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders didn't get invited to the tournament this year. Good news is though she still has just over 24 hours to climb out of the sadness and jump in to the madness. As do all of you!

Thanks,
Cody

 Well, I took second place last year. Which means you’re always trying harder! This year I’m proud to say, the title will be mine. And I will wear the crown from here on out. You may call me king hecker from here on out, to be a custom to it. Good luck my peasants.

You’re going down! You’re going down! I wonder if our state president is going to do a bracket? You know that middle Tennessee state is an NCAA juger knot.

Hi All,

It's that time of year again where we all become basketball experts and complete our brackets with the hopes and dreams of a perfect bracket, all to often to have our dreams crushed by the end of the first day. Either that or fill out a bracket based on which mascot would actually prevail in a dual. Whatever your strategy is this fund raiser is one you won't want to miss.

As such, the Mile High Chapter is excited to kick off our 2nd annual March Madness Bracket Fund Raiser. Remember, we crowned Kevan Worley bracket king last year! Do you have what it takes to take down the king or will he repeat. Only way to find out is to join the fun!

Brackets are $20 a piece and you can buy  as many brackets as you like.

Entry fees are due prior to 10:00 A.M. Mountain on Thursday March 16 which is the time at which your bracket must be submitted. Funds raised will be split with 50% of entry fees going to the first place bracket and the other 50% going to the Mile High Chapter.

Entry fees can be paid via Zelle at garyvdrn at msn.com or by credit card at the link below.

https://checkout.square.site/merchant/7R2HHWEBDRSE2/checkout/RGZWIU4NXZEAQYLP752M2NST

We are using ESPN to host our bracket pool and the link to join the pool is below.

Please also make sure the name of your bracket is identifiable to me or let me know what your bracket name is to avoid any confusion. 

You an join any time between now and next Thursday morning; However, the brackets will not be available for completion until this Sunday afternoon at 4:00 P.M.

We are using the traditional scoring rules which are as follows:

First Four: not picking these games

Round 1: 1 Point
