Free Games to Join

Click on the Tournament Challenge icon and then register to participate through the “sign up for free” link and set up your personal user name and personal password.

Once you create your entry, you can join the group.
Our group is Green River.

Last Sunday, March 15 was the day for the choosing of the 64 teams for the college basketball tournament. Between then and the morning of Thursday, March 19th (when the first game in the tournament starts) you can fill out your predictions regarding the winners of each round of the tournament.

(You must fill out all the information including the final winner before the first game starts on the morning of the 19th.)

You may compose as many as ten different versions of how you predict the tournament will end. After you register the first entry, click on the “tournament challenge” box again to set up an additional entry.

You will be competing with a group of teachers, members of the community, and Green River students to see how many are smarter than the teachers!!

The first two years students won, but the third year Andy Anderson from the English Division was the overall winner! Students won again in 2004 and 2005! In 2006 the winner was Bruce Boyd, a community member I know from attending the UW back in the 1960’s. In 2007 Todd Johnson, an adjunct in the English Division who now also teaches at the Muckleshoot Tribal College, finished first and second! Last year the students took over again and Kent Tung not only finished first but also had six entries finish in the top
ten!
