I would like an idea similar to the Wolrd Cup Prediction contest except with the Buzzerbeaters Best Tourny.

Their are 8 rounds and admitedly that is alot of games but it could still be done.

Have it simpler than the world cup contest where through the quarterfinals you only pick a winner, not the score, and that each correct winner is 1 point. Than starting from the quarterfinals you get 3 points for every correct guess and 5 points for exact score matches. That means you would also have to have a box to manually enter the score(like you do for the championship game for the ncaa tourny bracket) from the quarters. The winner each season could get 3 months premium.

The World Cup Prediction Contest was real fun and we don't want to wait 4 years for the next one so this could be a way to get a fun little game every season.

How does it sound?

I like it, it will also generate more interest in the BBB so that will be good!

sounds good. also because in the earlier rounds they're so many teams and matches, bb could randomly select so many matches for the prediction until the later rounds

Yeah they could also have a game of the week where that games matchup is double scored if you get it correct. Available only untill the quarters since the scoring is yet to be increased.

I feel like I am 60% the reason

Unless of course I wasn't the first to suggest it.

Edit: Supporter ;) No? Oh well it was worth a shot
