Phats Blog Bracket Contest, it's on

Welcome to the 7th annual Phats Bracket Contest, let the games begin.   Here is a quick reminder how this works, four regions, people were divided into different regions, top point scorer from each region advances to Final Four, Final winner gets a Phat-Tastic prize!   Here is the scoring break down
Rd 1 = 1 pt
Rd 2 = 3 pts
Rd 3 = 5 pts
Rd 4 = 7 pts
Defending Champ is Emily F. AKA Topolk's better half :)  Best of luck, and again a HUGE thank you for playing.  At the time of updating not all entries in as long as I get them before the games start they are eligible
