It’s back for a fourth year (and just a little bit late)!
If you’re a fan of sports at all, or have ever worked in an office, there’s a good to great chance that you’re aware of the phenomenon that strikes America this time of year. That’s right – it’s March Madness, the 64 (er, 68) team college basketball tournament that drains efficiency from thousands of companies as workers kill their time...
In fact, we have TWO winners!
I don’t know if my scoring system for this tournament is ingenious or idiotic, but suffice it to say that it’s all in Excel and is dependent on formulas. Makes it great and easy in that I don’t have to manually add anything…but there’s one major flaw in the setup: it’s dependent on everyone copying & pasting and/or using the exact lettering that I have for the...
We have a winner! Some six months later, the spring/summer box office season can finally be declared finished, and with it, the March to Box Office Madness 2011 game.
As usual, it was a tight race all the way down to the wire, as we had four individuals that absolutely crushed this. But it did come down to one winner, and that person did so by scoring a whopping 72 out of a possible 76 points, correctly predicting all but one...
The game is underway! This year, we have 38 players – exactly the same number as last year. Slightly disappointing that it didn’t balloon a bit more, but at least it didn’t go down. Last year, Justin G. took home a big ol’ kitty of prizes. This year, the prize pool looks like this:
* From me, a $25 to AMC theaters (this is already in-hand, so sorry if you win and don’t have AMC nearby. ...
You must get your entry in to me by Thursday night 11:59 PM (Pacific) to be eligible. Good luck! Click the banner above for the full rundown of rules and to get your entry form. More details, including the expanded prize pool, coming soon. In the meantime, so you know that I’m no cheater, here’s my bracket.…
It’s back for a third year!

We have a winner! Some six months later, the spring/summer box office season can finally be declared finished, and with it, the March to Box Office Madness 2010 game.
It was a tight race all the way down to the wire, but our winner, with 65 points (out of a possible 76) is Justin G., who topped the “record” for total points (I say “record” because this is only the second year of the game) of 64 points by last...
*Contest runs from July 12 – August 12, 2010. U.S. Residents only.

Though the March to Box Office Madness game technically won’t end until late September, I’m going to be periodically posting updates to the standings.
We’re at about the halfway point, as 16 matchups (of varying worth) have been decided. The next two weeks, with Salt and Dinner for Schmucks, will put an end to a few more matchups.
Currently, there are 26 available points (there will be a total of 76 possible...
Though the March to Box Office Madness game technically won’t end until late September, I’m going to be periodically posting updates to the standings. It’s been a couple months since the game started, so I figured now was a good time.
Though others could be called as decided, only five “matchups” have been outright, no doubt, for sure decided. Those five are (points per win in parenthesees): Toy Story...

The game is underway! This year, we have 38 players, up slightly from the 34 we had last year, but the prizes – vastly improved! Last year, Wayne of Reel Whore took home a DVD of his choosing from Amazon as well as a t-shirt. This year, the prize pool is deep, and will shake out as such:
First place:
* From Rachel of Rachel’s Reel Reviews, a $25 gift certificate to a large movie theater chain (one in...

Haha, Ok, I probably could have tried harder on that one. One movie that I can't stand and that I walked out on in the cinema is 'Norbit'. Movies that are made PURELY for a few bucks at box office just shouldn't be made!

Welcome to the LAMB. It's fascinating that you can't think of one movie you hate.

Thanks! No worries, I didn't think it was personal. In fact, I forget to send in my links so often that I first questioned my own memory of sending in the link, thinking it may have been a dream. :)

Terribly sorry, Will! I made a bit of a clerical error when I was putting in the links. If it makes you feel any better, one other link was left out. Both remedied now. :D
