First off, thanks to FranklinFan for doing the prediction contest for UFC 68. His idea was the impetus behind this contest.

Here's how the March Madness Prediction Contest is going to work:

From Round 1 through the finals, select who you think is going to win and PM me your predictions.
You'll get 1 point for correct Round 1 predictions, 2 points for Round 2, 3 pts for Rd 3... up to 6 points for picking the champion.
The person with the most points at the end wins.
Please include a final score prediction for the championship game as a potential tie-breaker.
The top three placing people will win points, 60% of the pot for 1st, 30% of the pot for 2nd and 10% for 3rd. As an example, for a 10,000 pt pot, the winner would get 6000 pts, 3000 for 2nd and 1000 for 3rd.
Along with your predictions, send me 500 points which will be forwarded to the winners upon completion of the event.
You can preview the brackets at any major sports site, ESPN, CNNSI, etc.
Wednesday's play-in game is not a part of the contest.
Have your predictions into me NO LATER THAN 12 NOON EST ON THURSDAY, MARCH 15TH.

I'd like to play as well, so I'm going to submit my predictions here, which will also provide you with an example as to how to submit your predictions to me.
