March Madness, anyone? LAST CHANCE!

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on March 17th, 2009

LAST CHANCE to sign up! Go HERE and make your picks! WIN a book! It’s easy! Thanks!

Editors’ note: To those who are having difficulty picking: Click on the BRACKETS link near the top left of the page… then a bracket will appear… click on the bracket and a big, interactive bracket will appear… this allows you to make your picks and save them! GOOD LUCK!

Tournament weekend saw two Philly-area teams make it in– ‘Nova and Temple. (If we missed any others, we apologize!)

We had a good time here at SHECKYmagazine HQ printing out the brackets and picking our winners and keeping score– a glimpse of our neck-and-neck contest can be viewed here.

We decided to open it up to readers by establishing a Facebook bracket contest (via CBS’ Facebook app) and we’re hoping some folks sign up. If not, we are fully prepared to accept the wind whistling through our CBS Brackets Facebook Group! We set it up hastily, but here it is… we think. And we think anyone who wants to can join and participate!

We intend to give away a copy of “Mock Stars,” the John Wenzel book about indie comedy, to the “winner” of the competition. (We determine the winner in the event of a tie!) We know that, since the games start tonight (technically– the “play-in” game is tonight… but we all know that the winner of that isn’t going to get past Louisville!), but there’s still plenty of time to click on the brackets and lock in your picks!

If you just want to play with yourself (pun intended!), there’s a nifty site that offers the chance to print out a nicely laid-out bracket (in a .pdf file!) that actually fits onto one, 8-1/2 X 11 page!

Good luck to all!
