I have talked to Tournament Director Mason multiple times about this. He has the brackets and the matchups. I’m not pleased with the progress. I really do apologize for the ridiculous delay.

This Super Smash Bros. giveaway is in the process of being changed to a March Madness giveaway. This is how it will work:

• The 8 play-in matchups that have already been completed will not change
• The 8 play-in matchups that not been completed will have their results determined by the winners of 8 major men's conference tournament title games. These conferences were chosen because of the number of Top-25 teams in this week's rankings.

1. ACC - Atlantic Coast Conference (#7 and #9)
2. BIG 12 (#1, #6, #11, #14 and #20)
3. BIG 10 (#3 and #12)
4. BIG EAST (#2, #8 and #10)
5. PAC 12 (#5 and #18)
6. SEC - Southeastern Conference (#4, #13, #15, #16 and #17)
7. WCC - West Coast Conference (#19 and #23)
8. MWC - Mountain West Conference (#21 and #22)

• The 32 first round matchups will have their results determined by the winners of the 32 Round 1 games in the men's NCAA basketball tournament
• The 16 second round matchups will have their results determined by the winners of the 16 Round 2 games in the men's NCAA basketball tournament
• The 8 sweet sixteen matchups will have their results determined by the winners of the 8 sweet sixteen games in the men's NCAA basketball tournament
• The 4 elite eight matchups will have their results determined by the winners of the 4 elite eight games in the men's NCAA basketball tournament
• The 2 final four matchups will have their results determined by the winners of the 2 final four games in the men's NCAA basketball tournament
• The consolation matchup will have their results determined by the winners of the championship game in the women's NCAA basketball tournament
• The championship matchup will have their results determined by the winners of the championship game in the men's NCAA basketball tournament

I have an idea how I want this to work. Once I have it finalized, I will post everything here. One thing I do know is that:

• This giveaway WILL be completed this time
• The matchups on the existing brackets will NOT change
• Each matchup will be assigned to a random game in the NCAA tournament (i.e. the brackets will not coincide with each other)
• You will NOT have the same team throughout the entire tournament - each matchup will assign new teams to the giveaway participants

STAY TUNED ...

It will make sense. To me, anyway. Which is all that matters. You will know the team you have for each specific matchup well ahead of time.

Loving this. Now I have a reason to watch March Madness, and it wont mean throwing away $20!

Did I win yet? I think I did. Might as well just ship it.

Can we do the women’s bracket? They are much more interesting this year!

 

[Timmah]

Only 5 more months until we have a winner!

All in good fun, @Himewad! Appreciate all you do for the PCF community!

The Play-In matches in the Blue Chip Region and the TR King Region are set, except for the real-life teams. A random number generator was run, assigning each tournament championship game to one of the eight play-in matches. The higher / lower seeds were also randomly determined. To avoid any confusion, a #1 seed would be the higher seed when compared to a #2 seed. Here are the matchups for the final eight play-in matches:

BLUE CHIP REGION

Play-in Match #1 ... @ChrisTot (higher seed) v. @MemphisFats (lower seed)
Actual Game ... Big 10 Tournament Championship (March 17)

Play-in Match #2 ... @Kain8 (lower seed) v. @DuckFat (higher seed)
Actual Game ... WCC Tournament Championship (March 12)

Play-in Match #3 ... @libbylord (lower seed) v. @MrBoosh (higher seed)
Actual Game ... ACC Tournament Championship (March 16)

Play-in Match #4 ... @ngmcs8203 (higher seed) v. @JackieB (lower seed)
Actual Game ... MWC Tournament Championship (March 16)

TR KING REGION

I wanted to do a combination of the men's and women's brackets at first, and I do have an idea to incorporate both brackets, but it's not as clean as just doing the men's bracket. If I have time, maybe I'll switch it up a bit. Or maybe I'll just have to save it for another time.

 

[ngmcs8203]

Nice. Hopefully its my alma mater SDSU in as the favorite!

Curious if he was happy or sad about this news?

Should we take bets on what will happen first?

Those purple solids get sold

I have absolutely no idea how I managed to miss this!

 

[Sparkynutz]

Most confusing giveaway ever!

I thought mine was pretty straightforward and I can't get the three winners to give me their address to ship the stuff out.

How's anybody going to know who even won this or who's even in it anymore?

It’s a bracket. The same bracket as before. Just determining winners in a different way than originally planned.
