It's Tourney Time, Baby!

The first day of the tournament is like Christmas, only without the stress.

Except, of course, for those poor souls who complete their brackets incorrectly. Let's review, shall we?

The Official Rules and Regulations might be published Monday morning, along with the official LBMC Brackets®. We will again be using the “secure” CBS Sportsline™ website because it requires a “password.” Our Group Name for 2010 is “Get Back to Work You Slackers” (contributed by Greg “Mr.. Exclamation Point” Gilbert!!). Our Group Abbreviation is “gbtwys” for those of you who speak text. Our Group “password” is “nonbillable.” You may proceed to this link:

and sign in, but not until Sunday night after the brackets have been announced. You have undoubtedly received invitations already, but beware: these may be decoy invitations. In prior years several players who shall not be named (Sandy Richards) entered the wrong tournament. DON’T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU!


One would think that this was a clear warning to avoid DECOY bracket invitations.

But NOOOOOOOOOOO!

Fortunately my crack staff was able to rectify the problem and we will now be able to post the actual consolidated standings (published in accordance with one of those FASB thingies) here on the Tournament Central blog. We have, however, created two new divisions to honor certain contestants who shall remain nameless until their names are posted below. These contestants have all attempted to purchase auto insurance from GEICO but, alas, were unable to do so.

In the Rain Man Division we have:

Bill "Furry" Kelso
Clay 'Vanilla Ice" Irby
Melissa "Man I'm getting Old" Miller
Sam "Full Court" Pressley
Sandy "I was Totally Confused but I blame Steve" Richards
Steve "Steve" Richards

The Rain Man winner will receive an official 2010 tournament drool bucket.

In the Al Gore Division we have:

Bill "Furry" Kelso
Sandy "I was Totally Confused but I blame Steve" Richards
Glenn "The second N is Silent" Sharp
Lesley "Worley" Davis
Andrew "I Blame My Dad" Childress

The Gore Division winner will receive a match which symbolizes the illuminating brilliance of Tennessee's favorite dufus.
