Contest Home Page
4/9/24–With UConn beating Purdue 75-60 in the NCAA National Championship, FCRam wins the RamNation Bracket Contest, presented by CSU Ram Zone! He entered the Final Four tied with ColonelRam and Ramalambadingdong, and FCRam and ColonelRam both had UConn and Purdue in the final, with UConn winning it all, while Ramalambadingdong had just one of four Final Four participants and had Tennessee winning the title. Thus, FCRam and ColonelRam tied for first place at 44 total points and the tie was broken via the total points tiebreaker in the championship game. FCRam’s guess of 155 total points was closer than ColonelRam’s guess of 161 (actual total was 135), so FCRam officially wins the contest and ColonelRam finishes second.
HawkRamFan entered the week behind the leaders by just one point, and surged past Ramalambadingdong thanks to having both UConn and Purdue in the final, with UConn winning it all. He finishes in sole possession of third place at 43 points. So, FCRam earns the $300 gift card to Ram Zone, powered by the CSU Bookstore, while ColonelRam wins the $150 card and HawkRamFan wins the $75.
