NOTE: DEADLINE FOR CONTEST ENTRY IS PAST
It’s time for CycloneFanatic’s annual “Auto-Bid Madness." I’m co-administrator, along with @ImJustKCClone.
This marks the 11th year for the contest.
How to enter
Choose the automatic qualifier for NCAA men's basketball tournament, based on league tournaments, in each of the 32 conferences.
Scoring
Each correct pick receives 1 point.
Tiebreakers
First tiebreaker: Correct Big 12 tournament champ.
Second tiebreaker: Highest number of correct picks that aren’t favorites (i.e., teams seeded 1st in their respective tournament).
Deadline: 5 p.m. CT, Wednesday, March 6. A few tournaments get underway prior to that, something to note.
CONFERENCE LIST TEMPLATE: For ease of record-keeping, post your selections in this order. Include your screen name at the top of your selections. You may revise selections you posted up until the deadline. If you do make a change, we request that you tag @ImJustKCClone. (Typically, we begin compiling entries shortly after they're submitted).
