Q2 Bracket Battle!

Hey everybody! Make sure you go to KTVQ.com and sign up for our Papa Johns Bracket Battle!

Here's the deal:

There are two ways to play:

1. Round by Round:

Unlike the traditional bracket, where you are required to pick every game before the tournament starts, this way allows you to just pick games each round. For example, if you sign up right now, you will be asked to select a winner from each of the 1st round games. After the first round is over, two players with the most correct picks will each win a Papa Johns Free Pizza Gift Certificate.

Then, once the 2nd Round matchups are determined, everyone picks all over again, no matter if you picked the correct matchup in the first round or not. Everyone starts with a clean slate.

After all six rounds, the player with the most total picks correct will win an additional 3 Papa Johns Free Pizza Gift Certificates, in addition to any they mat have already won for winning a round.

In addition to the chances to win free Papa Johns Pizza, you can compete against Scott, Richie, and me (The Q2 Crew) for bragging rights within South Central Montana. See if the "Sports Guys" actually know what we're talking about...or not!

2. Pick Upfront (Traditional Bracket):

You can also choose to fill out a traditional bracket just like you will find on any other site. This is obviously a tougher way to win, because you do not get to start over every round, and if one of your Final Four picks gets knocked out early, your chances of winning will take a hit.

It works just like every other bracket you've ever filled out. You have to pick every game before the first round tips off Thursday morning. But pay close attention to the Point Structure for each round:

Each round of the tournament is worth 64 points. There are 6 rounds in the tournament that total up to 384 points. First round games are 2 points each. Second round games are 4 points each. Third round games are 8 points each. Fourth round games are 16 points each. Fifth round games are 32 points each. And the final championship game is worth 64 points.

So even if you are way behind after the first couple of rounds, as long as your Final Four Teams are still alive, you can definitely still win.

If you pick every game correctly, you can win $100,000! If you miss one or two games, you can win $10,000, and if you miss three, you can win $1,000.

So sign up for both and try and win absolutely everything with the Perfect Bracket!
