Hi everyone - It's that time of the year as March is tomorrow. The 2025 PCF March DB Madness High Card Tournament will be here again shortly in the next few weeks..
This tournament will be run like the NCAA March Madness Tournament Brackets. There are 68 teams that make the Tournament with 4 Play in games that determine the Final 64 Teams in the Tournament. In the DB March Madness Tournament I will allow 68 entrants in the tournament with 4 Play in Games for the 8 lowest seeded entrants so we can get to 64. Entrants like before people will get their seed by the number of posts they have on the PCF. The higher the number posts you have the higher number the seed. This will be a High Card Tournament which the person with the Highest Card moves onto the next round. In the first round Seeds #1 - Seed #8 will get an extra card to their opponents 1 card. So seeds #9-#16 will only get one card while Seeds #1-#8 will get two cards. Out of all the cards whoever has the highest card moves on. In the second round the remaining entrants Seeded#1 - Seed #4 will still get an extra card and anyone seeded lower than #4 will only get one card. In the Sweet 16 and further rounds everyone will only get one card. If more than 68 People sign up I will have the 68 People in the list by Post count order. Those will be the people in the tournament. I will then go through and seed everyone.
Here are the signup requirements. You must have at least 25 Posts on the PCF to be eligible to enter. To Sign up you must Post "March Madness 2025". Sign ups will start tomorrow (03/01/2025). If you enter before the time posted it will not be considered an entry. The actual NCAA Selection Sunday for the real NCAA Tournament will be on Sunday March 16th. I will close out signups for this on Monday March 17th at 10PM EST. The 2025 DB Madness Tournament will run and coincide with the NCAA Tournament and will be finished before the NCAA Tournament ends.
Prizes - There will be 10 Prizes awarded in this contest. We will play until there is a National Champion. The National Champion will be Winner #1 and get to choose the first prize and the runner up will choose the second prize. There will be games to decided Prizes #3 and #4 and then a game for Prizes #5 and #6, Prizes #7 and #8, and finally #9 and #10. Winners will pay actual shipping for prizes. I would prefer those with US Shipping addresses, but would ship to anywhere as long as buyer pays for actual shipping. The Prizes mostly will be Dealer Buttons, but I may throw in some Plastic Decks or other Poker related stuff. I am currently going through my stuff and will post pictures of prizes within the next few days. The other year I gave a WPT Poker Clock away. I'm still deciding on the 10 prizes.
I will collect the post counts after the signup ends as some may have posts between now and then to get them a higher seed.
