Do you like the NCAA tournament? Do you like filling out brackets? Do you think Booth sucks? Do you like beer and t-shirts? Could you use a sweet set of steak knives?

If you answered at least two out of five “yes”, then you’ve come to the right place. Sure, you could randomly google the phrase “cleveland steamer” and probably find five sites holding a NCAA bracket challenge, but what are those sites offering for prizes? So far we’ve seen other sites awarding cash prizes and Nintendo Wiis, but we’ve yet to find another site offering NextRound t-shirts, a set of steak knives, and the personal satisfaction of kicking a dude named Booth when he’s already down.

This is how the first annual tournament challenge will go:

• We’ll mail anyone who beats Booth in overall points a NextRound t-shirt.
• The overall winner wins a sweet set of steak knives.
• And scoring goes like this:

First Round 1 point
Second Round 2 points
Third Round 4 points
Fourth Round 8 points
Semis 16 points
Championship 32 points
Maximum Possible: 192 points

Here’s how to sign up:

• Click here to access Yahoo Sports.
• Click “Join Group”.
• Login to Yahoo (you have to have a Yahoo ID to participate, which is kind of pain in the ass, we know).
• Enter Group ID “84026″ and password “nextround”.
• Give your bracket a name and pick the winners.

Booth’s, Maske’s, and the rest of Team Cool & Tough’s brackets will be up shortly. We’ll be updating regularly and will keep an update in the right sidebar under “sports picks”.

Please note: All contestants need to realize how much Booth really wants to win this set of steak knives. He’s been tearing flank steak apart with his teeth for too long. After the jump is Boothy’s bracket from last year. He’s set his goal for this year at 192 total points.
