Rules

Each player will alternate possessions, in which they are dealt a card from their respective decks and placed face up on the Game Mat in the Possession order (1-10).  We will keep a running score of the possessions, and then after each team has been dealt their 10 respective cards, we will deal one card each from the Bonus Deck, that has higher scoring possibilities (1 – 8 points possible). 

Examples:

The cards are then collected and shuffled back into their respective decks. That is the end of the first half of the game. We will repeat this exact same sequence for the second half, and then tally the final scores. Whichever team has accumulated more overall points, wins the game and moves on to the next round. The loser is eliminated (this is a single elimination Tournament).

Filling Out Your Entry/Sheet Of Integrity

When we announce a tournament date to be played and Live-Streamed, we will open up the “Submit Predictions” page to the public that looks like this:

To submit your entry, you simply need to visit the “Submit Predictions” page, register (or log-in if you’ve already created an account), and then select a winner prediction for each round (Round of 16, round of 8, round of 4, and round of 2) in the bracket until you’ve chosen a final champion. 

Note that the tournament and card decks were created to favor the lower seeds, just like the NCAA College Basketball tournament.  So the #1 Seed is the favorite to win the whole tournament, followed by the #2 Seed team and so on.  Upsets are definitely possible though, so every tournament has the ability to play out with unique results.

Don’t forget to click the Submit Predictions button when you have made all of your selections!

Tournament Scoring

For each correct selection made in the first round (Round of 16), the entrant is awarded one point.  For each correct selection made in the second round (Round of 8), the entrant is awarded two points.  For each correct selection made in the third round (Round of 4), the entrant is awarded four points.  Finally for a final correct selection made in the Championship Game, the entrant is awarded eight points.  Whichever entrant has the highest number of points at the end of the tournament, will be awarded our Brackets Sheet of Integrity Champion.
