Although the kickball season has not yet started, the Big Dance is underway...
...Announcing the first annual DC Star Charity March Madness Pool!
50% of money raised will go to our charity KEEN, 35% - and bragging rights - to the winner, and 15% to the second place finisher. Whether you pick brackets based on jersey colors or in-depth scouting reports, this is a great way to support our charity.
Here's what you do:
1) Pay $10 per bracket, for up to 3 brackets. You can pay online via Paypal to dcstardivision@gmail.com or email Leslie (leslie.klein@gmail.com) to figure out another way to get her the money. We'll also be collecting money at the captain's meeting on March 13 if you're a captain or can get money to your captain, and at the Wackos' Happy Hour on Wednesday night.
2) Once you've paid, you'll get an email with the password to join the pool ( dcstarkickball.mayhem.sportsline.com/e), which is going to be hosted by CBS Sportsline.com.
3) Choose your picks! The point breakdown is listed below. There will be NO upset bonus. The tiebreaker will be the score for the championship game. All picks must be completed online by Thursday at noon, as Tuesday's play-in game won't count.
First Round - 1 point
Second Round - 2 points
Sweet Sixteen - 4 points
Elite Eight - 8 points
Final Four - 16 points
Championship Game - 32 points
And to help celebrate March Madness, join us on March 22 at RNR for a pre-season kickoff charity happy hour - $5 gets you 2 for 1 drinks, discounted appetizers, TVs to cheer on your teams, and as always a great time with DC Star! Look for an upcoming Evite for more information!
Questions? Contact Leslie (leslie.klein@gmail.com) about the pool, and Kim (kim.aslen@gmail.com) about the happy hour.
