Since the first game of the tournament starts on Friday at 5PM in
Albany, the deadline for entering the contest will be 12 noon on Friday.

It is my intent to acknowledge each entry, so if I don't send a note
back to acknowledge your entry, contact me to make sure I received it. I
got a late start today so I only processed 3 or 4 tonight (and still
have about a dozen to go, which I'll get to tomorrow).

If there are errors in your contest entry, and I catch the error, I will
email you so you can correct the error. However, I must have the
correction prior to noon on Friday. Since I will be working on Friday
and will go straight to the Pepsi from work, you should attempt to
complete your entry as early as possible. Once I sign off Thursday
night, entries received up til noon Friday will be processed but you
will have no chance for corrections.

From past years, the two most common errors are
1) leaving an entry blank
2) choosing a winner that is logically incorrect (such as choosing North
Dakota to win semifinal 1 when semifinal 1 is the winner of the East and
Northeast regional).
