Figured we'd open this early to collect prizes for 2025 March Madness NCAA.

This is for two prize pool events:

1. Open to all.
  • Free entry!

2. Hunt Talk Wildlife Conservation.
  • Entry donation of minimum base membership to friend/family or made available for any here. No proof necessary. Based on the honor system.


Looking for prizes to make March Madness an event of events! PM or post up please. The more the merry!

Organizations, if you would have memberships you would like to promote for your organization and share as part of the prize pool, that would be great!

People who craft or have services that may centralize around the world fitting our forum, that would be fantastic!

Items collecting dust, great! Etc.

Jabber and I are working together with this year's event. Jabber will host the brackets as commissioner and I'll position the prizes.

Points awarded per correct picks and associated points via Yahoo March Madness bracket system:

Prize distribution depends on the quantity of prizes Hunt Talk members pool together. Last year Jabber noted more than 200 entries!

The planned event is available for every Hunt Talk member who wants to participate:
  • 1. Open to all. No fee, no contribution required. Fun enjoyment for anyone and hosts two winners!
  • The player with the most correctly chosen teams via points.
  • 2. Hunt Talk Wildlife Conservation entry: Honor system for enrollment.
  • Quantity of placed winners are based on prize pool and number of participants.
  • Winners are based on most correctly chosen teams, via points.

Tiebreakers

If two or more players in a group finish with the same overall point total after a national champion is crowned, we'll use the following system to break the tie (for tiebreakers, we only take predicted points into consideration):

  • First tiebreaker - Closest prediction of total points scored by both teams wins.
  • Second tiebreaker - Closest prediction for points scored by the winning team.
  • Third tiebreaker - Closest prediction for points scored by the losing team.
  • If beyond a third - If the last tiebreaker is deadlocked, the players remain tied in the standings and we'll figure something out for the "Open to all" prize. For the "Hunt Talk Wildlife Conservation" prize, please chose at least one score point different from the others.

Two RMEF "Annual Team Elk Memberships" worth $50 each that include BUGLE Magazine and an RMEF ball cap! Prizes towards the March Madness Hunt Talk Wildlife Conservation event.
My offer to build the prize pool with RMEF second level memberships.


My wife is deliberating what she intends to offer to increase the prize pool. Her customized items are a fantastic addition towards our support for these great wildlife organizations and the Hunt Talk members who support these organizations.

If you have a craft, customize, or have a trade skill that would be a fitting prize(s) towards our wildlife, post or PM and we'll be sure to highlight your offering!

Organizations, These events hold valued opportunity to showcase your recent highlights! Would enjoy having you join with prizes / memberships offered!
