Reminder: FightMetric/BloodyElbow November Insanity Tournament Bracket Contest Still Open

Nov_insanity_small_mediumUntil the first punch is thrown at the Strikeforce Challengers Series tonight, you can still enter the contest!

For those who need a refresher, here's the deal:

With so many MMA events packed so closely together in one month, the good folks at FightMetric decided there was some fun to be had. The name of this game, like the regular March Madness tourney, is bracket predictions. Now, obviously this isn't one gigantic tourney where we pick one fighter to go all the way through several rounds. Instead, this game asks you to make predictions at each round where you collect points for correct picks. After the events that comprise the rounds are over, you'll tally up points and head to the next round. Again, you aren't trying to pick one fighter to win it all. You just want to be the one who gets the most points by the time Ortiz vs. Griffin 2 - the equivalent of the national championship - has been decided.

Rules on scoring here. Take a look at the bracket here, download and print out a copy for your purposes here, and email me your picks here.

Remember, the winner will get an awesome (albeit as yet to be determined) prize. We have some thoughts in mind about what we'd like to give away, but we are also taking suggestions in the comments section now. Current interesting suggestions: top 100 UFC fight DVD, be a Bloody Elbow writer for a day and a few others.

Let's get the picks in, ladies and gents! Time is running out.

This is a FightMetric fantasy game presented by BloodyElbow.

Do we just send a list of names? Is there an interactive bracket?
