I did mean fun-raising, but it is for fund-raising as well. In any event, the time of ESPN soothsaying and guesswork is ended and now the NCAA men’s Division 1A basketball brackets are official. Just moments ago I confirmed Terrill Thompson’s accessible NCAA brackets web page is up and running.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>So now to summarize the contest rules and procedures, just $5 per participant is all it takes to participate in this NCAA tournament pool I will manage the pool via Terry Thompson’s accessible brackets website, so it is important you make use of it to fill out your brackets. The bracketing system has a predetermined weighted points system, and Mr. Thompson will provide periodic progress reports as the 2015 tournament unfolds.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>To date, I’ve received no payments so you wil need to get them in quickly or otherwise make an arrangement to get payments either to myself or to Ron Miller, Jayhawk chapter treasurer. Once you have paid or made a mutually satisfactory payment arrangement I will send the URL to the accessible bracket website. You will need to create an account which must include an email address, a password, and a screen name. After you have created your account your next step is to send me an email or call in with the following items.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>• Your screen name<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>• The margin of victory in the title game in Indianapolis<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>• The total points scored in the title game<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> •The names of any participants you referred to the pool.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Items 2 and 3 are tiebreakers in case there is a tie in total points among pool participants. The grand prize is a free full body massage from Massage Envy. A free massage will also be awarded to the contestant who recruits the highest number of participants outside of the Jayhawk chapter or the Kansas affiliate, whichever applies to you.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Last but not least, I wil convene an informational teleconference call on Tuesday evening at 7:00pm CDT to give more detailed information about the NCAA tournament bracketing process which I suppose could be called the NFBK version of bracketology. This will give everyone an opportunity to have questions answered before submitting brackets in the system. The numbers to call to join the teleconference call are<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Toll free 8664768702 or <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Regular number 9162334200. We encourage you to use the regular number if your phone service plan has unlimited long distance calling. In either case the access code is 950655#.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks in advance to all who participate in this fun fund-raiser.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Best regards,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Rob Tabor | president Jayhawk Chapter NFB of Kansas<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Phone/L: 7858413875<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Phone/M: 7858659959 <o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
