AustHan's World Presents Big Brother Brackets!

Now that the BB15 cast has been released (which you can find HERE), AustHan can finally make the announcement that we have been waiting over a month to make.  That announcement is Big Brother Brackets (which can also be referred to as BB Brackets, BBB, Triple B, whatever you please!)

Austin came up with the idea for BB Brackets, and I then took on the task of running absolutely wild with it. It has been a lot of fun to plan and create, and I hope that you will find it as fun and exciting as I do.  BB Brackets will work similarly to the March Madness brackets, but perhaps a little differently since there are no distinct match-ups and you will have to plan them yourselves.

You can find and print the full-sized bracket by clicking this link.

Above is the bracket that you can print (and then fill out and complete.)  Each slot on the bracket is numbered 1-16 for the different houseguests.  It is up to you to rank them.

The basic guideline for filling out you bracket:

Plan out your ranking of the 16 houseguests.  If you think someone will be the first one out, then put them as the 16 seed.  If you think someone will win the whole thing, put them as the 1 seed.  Planning your ranking out on a separate piece of paper or typed out list first will keep you from making any errors - which keeps you from having to redo anything!

The basic rules for scoring your bracket:

1. Every time you guess the correct eviction spot of a houseguest, you will score 5 points.
2. Every time you guess the correct round in which a houseguest will be evicted, you will score 1 point.
3. For each houseguest that you predict will make the final four that ends up actually making the final four, you will score 3 points.
4. For each houseguest that you predict will make the final two that ends up actually making the final two, you will score 5 points.
5. If you predict the right winner of Big Brother 15, you will score 10 points.
6. For added entertainment, we have added in a showmance prediction.  After looking at the cast, you can predict one showmance.  You can add this on your bracket after you've finished filling it out by placing a heart next to each of the names of the two houseguests in your predicted showmance.  If these two houseguests end up actually getting in a showmance, even if they "break up" at some point during the season, you will score 4 points total.

I went ahead and described more of the rules and guidelines for filling out and scoring your brackets, so if you need to read further, you can do so HERE.

Also, we have gone ahead and added a few prizes to BB Brackets - which are all AustHan's World related prizes, or as we like to refer to them.. AustHan Gold.  These prizes are merely there for fun and there may be more added later, but essentially, BB Brackets was just made for entertainment - much like March Madness brackets are.  Have competitions against your friends and family and tell us how they go!

If you do want to win a prize, there are rules posted along with the rules and guidelines for brackets, which are, in case you didn't click it before, HERE.

BB Brackets is officially open to all and I hope everyone has a lot of fun with it.  Will you be filling out a bracket?  Do you like the idea of BB Brackets?  Let us know your thoughts on it all via the comment section below!  (Or you can always tweet me @theonlytrace, Austin at @austinbarns, or AHW at @austhansworld!)
