Book Boyfriend Battle 2017 BRACKET CHALLENGE!

 

Hey Everyone! This past May was our FOURTH BLOGOVERSARY! In celebration of our blog’s birthday we do what we call the BOOK BOYFRIEND BATTLE! Normally we run the Book Boyfriend Battle during our blogoversary month, however this year I was en route to the airport in Paris, France when the ride share I was in was involved in an accident. I made it out alive, but with a nasty break to my right humerus and some bumps and bruises. I’m a lot better now so I am finally able to get the Book Boyfriend Battle up and going!  Like past years, we’ll also be holding a BRACKET CHALLENGE (details below) for the readers as well!

Has anyone here even been a part of a NCAA College Basketball March Madness Bracket Challenge? You know, where you fill out a bracket, pick & choose College Basketball Teams hoping that you’ll choose correctly to win the pot at the end of the challenge? Yes? No?

You are essentially predicting the outcome of the tournament when filling out a bracket. The Tournament (or Book Boyfriend Battle in this case) will not start until AUGUST 1st, 2017. You have up until 11:59pm on 7/31/17 to fill out your bracket and make your predictions as to who is going to win each poll in the #BBB17. For each correct guess you will receive points. I believe the first round will be 1 point for each correct guess, the second round you get 5 points for each correct guess. By the end of the Tournament the person with the highest total points on their bracket will be the winner of the Bracket Challenge!

As of right now we have a First and Second Place Prize (with more to come hopefully! See below if you’d like to be a sponsor for the 2017 Book Boyfriend Battle!

You will be allowed to fill out/edit your bracket up until 11:59 EST  on July 30th, 2017.
The Book Boyfriend Battle will officially BEGIN ON July 31st, 2017.
Tournament Schedule for the first round will be available soon, please check back!

Anyone have any questions? Please feel free to comment and ask.
