March Madness Movie Style!!!

If you always feel left out because you didn't even know Princeton HAD a basketball team good enough to make it to the Sweet 16, or didn't know it was called that, then this is for you!   Fletch, over at Blog Cabins, has organized a way for those of us who don't give a crap about sports to understand what the heck the president does when he's picking a bracket.  You can head over to his site and submit your own choices for the MARCH TO BOX OFFICE MADNESS - where you pick the winners of the summer box office.  I have not done well with this in the past, but this year is my year (I hope!).  It's open to anyone, just get your choices in soon!

The rules:

1. For each matchup, select which film will have the higher box office. Continue through the bracket until a champion has been crowned.

2. Scoring per round will be 1-2-4-8-12, for a possible total of 76 points (see table in workbook).

3. For the tie-breaker, enter your predicted top 5 films (box office) from the ones listed. One point for will be rewarded for each correct film, and an additional point for proper placement, for a potential 10 points. In the case of a tie, if one person's tie-breaker portion is not filled out, the other will win.

4. Brackets MUST be turned in (sent to blogcabins@yahoo.com) no later than March 31.

5. Box office data will be counted from April 1 - September 25, 2011.

6. One entry per person.

The prizes:

Still slightly up in the air (as usual). I'm throwing in (at minimum) a $25 gift card to AMC Theaters and a t-shirt, but as with last year's booty, I was hoping to get the community-at-large involved in the prize-giving (I'd like to have prizes for the top 3 finishers), so if there's something you can offer to the prize pool, please let me know. Hopefully, we can get a nice prize pack going (more on this later). We had 34 players the first year and 38 last year, so just a few items will make it that much more worth it.
