Thank you everyone for the continued interest in this venture. We are now less than 20 hours from the polls closing and as I type, Always A Brave is 10th in the Midwest Region, though we have fluctuated between 8th and 12th all day. This is likely going to go down to the wire. A couple of notes:
- Please do not try to "stuff ballot box" with fake voting. The site is being monitored very closely and inappropriate voting tactics could result in disqualification.
- With that being said, encourage eveyone you know to vote. You can use the link below to send to potential voters, or better yet, use the ones created from your own votes to build up your points.
- Walt Lemon has given his commitment, but it is contingent upon his NBA Summer League schedule (Orlando is good for us, Vegas is not). Putting him on the roster now, however, locks us into 11 players. Leaving him off for now, allows flexibility with our roster until July 1.

we are doing everything we can to get the word out & posted everywhere I can think
there are definitely some very suspicious 100 vote surges among a few of those other teams...
I even called it as such last week...

The site is running slow, and goes offline intermittently likely due to a large number of people trying to cast votes tonight. The Bradley guys have fallen to 12th place in the Midwest-
https://www.thetournament.com/teams?...region=midwest (currently offline)
But the 3 teams ahead of the Bradley guys are easily within reach. Anyone who has not voted- please help!
Here again are the step-by-step instructions for anyone who has been reluctant to vote-
If you have not voted yet, or if you know someone who might help by voting- go here and register-
Registration takes just a minute.
Here is how to do it:
Click on this link:
Enter your name (only a first name and a last initial will actually show on the fan list)
Then enter your email address
Then create a password for your account
Set your date of birth and gender
Then on the line for your team- type Always a Brave, or you can leave this line blank
Then click on the box saying "I Have Read And Agree To The Fan Contest Rules, Privacy Policy And Terms Of Use"
Then complete the easy CAPTCHA verification step.
You will then be sent a final verification email to the email address you entered (note that it might show up in your SPAM or PROMOTIONS file). If you have a @gmail.com account, it will probably be in the PROMOTIONS file. Click the PROMOTIONS tab at the top of your Inbox.
Open the email, and click on the button or link to complete your registration.
Then go here to the Always a Brave team site to vote-
And then click on the right side where it says VOTE FOR THIS TEAM, then click the CONFIRM button.Comment

Always a Brave ended as the 25th highest vote total nationally and 8th highest in the Midwest, but they're still adding votes. They're now up to 1,279
ALWAYS A BRAVE (BRADLEY ALUMNI)
MIDWEST REGION
FAN RANKINGS
1279 VOTES
btw - each of the Final Four from 2015 automatically get in again this year so some teams like these guys who won last year are already qualified.
Zach Andrews' team from last year, TEAM 23, is also automatically in but I wish he were playing for us this year!
