Yessir. At least this scoring system should keep it "live" until the final rounds, even if the tourney gets all "chalky" like it did last year.

Some of the other contests listed above have some nice prizes and looks like a couple of million dollar bonuses (BetJamaica and Bodog) and a $500k bonus (5Dimes) for perfect brackets ... not that I'll have to worry about how to spend any of that

Do you have to be active with Los Palmas to receive full prize amount?

I believe that the only stipulation with regards to SBR's March Madness Contest is that the winners will have to open a Las Palmas account and roll their winnings 5x ... aside from that, there's no reason that our winners won't be awarded the full prize amounts.

Good Luck!
