TheLines' Free March Madness Contest: Perfect 16 Bracket Game

We at TheLines don't have $1 billion to give away like Warren Buffett, but we do have $1,000, and you don't even need to pick a perfect bracket.

In the "Perfect 16" free March Madness contest, you must select the regional semifinalists in each bracket section. More simply, correctly predict the Sweet 16.

If you can do that, you'll win $1,000 unless anyone else gets the Sweet 16 correct. In that case, the contest goes to a tiebreaker: how many 3-pointers will be made in all tournament games on Friday, March 21? Remember that there will be 16 games that day, so guess accordingly.

Only one person will win the $1,000 prize, so making unique picks will have some value.
