  |
|
NZXT is teaming up with Bigbruin.com to sponsor a College Football Bowl Game Challenge! Up for grabs are four great items from the NZXT line up, and in order to enter you just need to make your picks for seven of this season's top college football bowl games!
Prizes Sponsored by NZXT:
ยป Tempest Mid-Tower Chassis [our review of one]
ยป Avatar Gaming Mouse [our review of one]
ยป Cryo LX Laptop Cooler [our review of one]
ยป Sentry LX Fan Controller [we never reviewed one of these]
The Games:
Capital One Bowl - Georgia vs Michigan State
Rose Bowl - Penn State vs USC
Orange Bowl - Cincinnati vs Virginia Tech
Cotton Bowl - Mississippi vs Texas Tech
Sugar Bowl - Utah vs Alabama
Fiesta Bowl - Ohio State vs Texas
BCS Championship - Florida vs Oklahoma
Scoring:
ยป 5 points per game for picking the winner
ยป 5 extra points (10 total) per game for picking the exact score
The winners of the contest will be the four entrants with the most points at the end of all games. The top scorer will get to pick the prize of their choice, and so on down the line with the fourth highest scorer receiving what is left.
If the contest should end in a tie based on points alone, the tie breaker will be determined by which entrants have the lowest point differential. (Point differential is calculated by taking the sum of actual scores as compared to the predicted scores over the course of the contest).
Rules:
1. You have until kick off of each game to make your picks, once a game starts you will not be able to change your pick.
2. To play you must be a registered member of the Bigbruin.com forum.
3. Four winners will be chosen based on the results of the contest.
4. At the end of the contest, the winners must provide their shipping information.
5. This contest is open to North American participants only, and shipping is covered by NZXT.
6. Rules subject to change.
Tips:
1. Your picks aren't set in stone until game time. You can edit your predictions for any particular game as often as you want right up to kick off.
2. Once a game starts the software does not let you see your predictions. Your best bet for remembering your picks is to take a screenshot of the predictions page or to write them down.
3. Scores will be updated when available and are listed at the bottom of the game's page.
Please post any comments or questions in this thread!

I just remembered something with this software... If you update a score for a completed game while another game is in progress, it temporarily gives out losses for games in progress.
So... the first two games are in the books, and the scores are updated... But, since the third game started already, it will show as a loss until I update that score later tonight.
No need to panic...  |
