Looking for that next thing to put on your calendar now that Dam 2 Dam is over? Has the cold weather derailed your fitness goals? Has the fartsack won too many times so far this year? If you answered yes to any of the above questions, and even if you answered no. We have the answer to all of those questions and more with the return of March Madness.

It’s a simple competition. There are no confusing Tweeter rules. And it incorporates more than one of the Fs. The 1st F is detailed below. To bring in the 2ndF, starting next Thursday (March 4th), there will be a standing Happy Hour at GoodTimes from 5:00 – 7:00 PM. Come hang out as long or as short as you can. Come grab one beer on the way home from work. Or swing by for a little bit after dinner with the family. Either way, come out and hang out with the guys. This is a great opportunity to introduce FNGs to the group as well.

Now on to the details of the competition.

March Madness Competition

Competition runs from March 1st – March 31st
PAX will be divided into teams of 6 PAX. Each team will have 2 captains. (See teams below). Teams were chosen at random using the attendance sheet as a guide.
Scoring
Team member gets 1 point for each post to an official AO at the official AO times. Down range posts count as long as they are to an official AO at their official AO time.
Bonus point if every member of your team posts on the same day to the same official AO at the official AO time.
3 points for each FNG that your team EHs and then that FNG becomes a member of your team and earns 1 point each time he posts.
2 points for a Kotters post using the list below. That PAX then becomes a member of your team and earns 1 point for each time he posts. The list below is not an exhaustive list as YHC is sure he has missed some. So find a former PAX not on the list and EH them to return to the gloom.
Bonus point if 4 of your team members shows up to the same 2ndF event. Must stay for a minimum of 30 minutes.

The team with the most points at the end of the month will cut down the nets and have their “One Shining Moment” and be crowned the official winner of March Madness 2021. There will be a prize for the winning team.
