MARCH MADNESS!

Big Dance News
Vol. 28 No.1 March 11, 2011
"The Biggest Dance on the Web"

In this time of continued turmoil and uncertainty, The Big Dance returns to provide entertainment for the depressed, excitement for the bored and the prospect of cash flow for the out-of-work hedge fund manager.

Now in its 28th year, The Big Dance has become the stuff of legend, matching global Dancers in the greatest challenge in sports – unerringly selecting the NCAA Men’s Championship bracket victors in a battle of raw genius. The Big Dance is back, again featuring easy accessibility through The Big Dance Website, three weeks of nerve-wracking suspense, frequent updates to keep Big Dancers riveted and lots of good, wholesome fun. The challenge this year will be the greatest ever, as the NCAA has expanded the field to 68 teams, requiring 4 “play-in” games to establish the field of 64. We will handle “play-ins” as we have in the past: you will not be required to select the “play-in” game winner, rather you will be permitted to select the “winner of the play-in game” as the victor in future rounds. If this is confusing to you, then you are a perfect candidate to enter The Big Dance.

For those of you newly invited to The Dance, the rules of engagement remain the same and will be posted at www.thebiggestdance.com, the official home of the Biggest Dance. All entries must be submitted electronically through the website. The draw will be posted on Sunday, March 13 and entries will be accepted through The Biggest Dance Automated Entry System until 12 noon (EDT) on Thursday, March 17.

The Big Dance Blog will again provide a public roasting pit on the home page of The Big Dance website, beginning Sunday evening. The BDBlog will be available 24/7 throughout March Madness. Feel free to visit now, www.thebiggestdance.com, and share your brilliance, insight or rants with your fellow Dancers.

As it has been for 28 years, the entry donation remains $100. The top eight finishers will receive prize money, keeping Dancers riveted until the bitter end. Also as in past years, The Commissioner expects each of you to recruit fresh, naïve, inexperienced lambs to be led to the slaughter - and join in the fun. Wives and husbands, in particular, are especially attractive recruits - bring the Big Dance Pool experience to your dinner table for the next three weekends!

Stay tuned to The Big Dance website, www.thebiggestdance.com, for the rules, updates and a host of other surprises. Buckle up and enjoy the show!
