FMF March Money Madness Brackets Set

At the end of this post is an Excel spreadsheet that contains the brackets for the 2010 version of Free Money Finance March Money Madness (if you're wondering what I'm talking about, click here.) A few things to note about the competition:

The games will begin on Monday, January 18 and new ones will be posted every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday through the initial round. Each set of games will be up at least a day and a half, but after that, I'll probably cut them off and name a winner. Some may go longer (especially those posted on Fridays), but not much longer than three days maximum.

The winner will be named in a comment left at the bottom of each post. I'll note that this set of games has now concluded and tell which posts won. If you need an example of what this looks like, look at my comment near the end of this post (from last year's competition).

The first 10 posts earned automatic bids since I judged them to be the best 10 from 2009's Best of Money Carnival winners. That's why some blogs will have more than one post included in March Money Madness -- these 10 do NOT count against the one blog/one post limit (this is one major benefit of winning a weekly Best of Money Carnival competition.)

If your post is in the competition, you are allowed to vote for yourself. Others will do it, you might as well too. But you can only vote once per game, just like everyone else.

If your post is in the competition, you're allowed to ask your readers to vote for you. Again, others will do it, you might as well too. If you feel it's too promotional to ask people to vote for your post, you can simply point them to the competition and ask them to vote for the best post. ;-)
