Fug Madness Results Update!

Welcome to the Relentless Optimism Fug Madness League!

First and foremost, thank you so much for supporting our team for the Breast Cancer 3 Day by joining our league.  Altogether, we have ten entries for our Fug Madness pool meaning we have raised an additional $50 for our team.  We may not have the numbers of the March Madness tournament, but this one is so much more fun!  We will be posting regular updates for the contest here on team fundraising blog, so please check back often to see how your bracket is doing.

Voting in the first round of contests started yesterday on www.gofugyourself.com.  Each voting period lasts for 24 hours, meaning that we have our first official results today.  Interestingly, much like the first day of the March Madness tournament, there were a slew of upsets in Fug Madness as well!  All told, in seven out of the first 16 match ups, the often under dressed under dog came out ahead.  A summary of the results of Round 1, Day 1 and a preview of the next round of match ups can be found by clicking here.  The full results for each bracket can be found here:

The standings in our pool are fairly close, with a number of people correctly predicting a good number of the upsets.  There are 320 points up for grab in each round, with the scoring breaking down like this:

Round of 32 = 10 points each
Sweet 16 = 20 points each
Elite 8 = 40 points each
Final 4 = 80 points each
Final 2 = 160 points each
Ultimate winner = 320 points

The full standings for our pool at the completion of Round 1, Day 1 are below.  Please click on each person's name to view their completed bracket.  I am scoring each bracket by hand, so if you see a mistake, please let me know so that I can correct it.

Thank you again for playing along with us in Fug Madness.  There are many questions still to be answered as the tournament progresses:  Will anyone topple the dominant Lady Gaga?  Will Aubrey O'Day repeat her victory from last year?  Will any of these people ever learn how to dress themselves??  Stay tuned and check back often!
