How Do I Play?The Ruckus is really pretty easy. Some might even say stupid easy. Easier than going on The Daily Show to get your ass handed to you by Jon Stewart. Easier than birthing the eight fucking kids you shouldn’t have had in the first place, seeing as you already had six at home. Easier than using a Sham-WOW! And finally, yes, easier than that bony skank and former matron saint of the Ruckus Lindsay Lohan. Simply pick one team to win each game until you’re left with one team left in the tournament. That’s it. Really. OK, not really. But that’s, like, 93.4% of it. All I ask is that you pay attention and fill out your ENTIRE BRACKET, making sure there are no empty picks. Empty picks suck. At least two times in Ruckus history, empty picks have caused people to lose the whole thing. I wish I was kidding. I mean, seriously – your boss already knows you’re dicking around on brackets and picks this week anyway and they called to tell me that they don’t care, so you might as well take your time and double check all regions of your bracket before you submit it. More importantly than making sure your brackets are filled out in the correct fashion is the fact that you are required by law to have your completed brackets SUBMITTED to the goons at Yahoo! Sports. Completing your picks and submitting your picks are two separate actions. I want to say you have to have everything submitted by 11:00 AM Eastern – but I’m going to leave it up to you to actually read Yahoo’s terms and conditions and whatnot. That way you have no one to blame but your own dumb ass if you get it wrong. |
