March 'Monte' Madness
by knightfan26917 Wed Mar 21, 2012 8:50 pm
*
I love "March Madness", the NCAA basketball tournament. I enjoy watching the games, particularly the close ones, witnessing the comebacks, being stunned by the shockers. I'm not exactly sure what the attraction is (perhaps the part of me that loves timelines?), but I'm addicted to watching the brackets as teams advance & others are eliminated.
So, with "March Madness", the "Monte" edition "BRACKETS"....
ROADS REGION
Knight Division
6 = 1978-1980
3 = 1981-1988
Shield Division
7 = 2000-2005
2 = 1973-1975
WHEELS REGION
Monte Division
8 = 1970-1972
1 = 1995-1999
Carlo Division
5 = 2006-2007
4 = 1976-1977
"Complete" your brackets by indicating your pick of which model years (as noted above) will triumph as champion, for a "to be determined" prize....
ROUND # 1
...For each of the 4 match-ups, vote for the years you like best.
...1 vote per person per board.
...If you are a member of more than 1 board to which I'm sharing this, you may vote once on each board.
6 (1978-1980) ...vs... 3 (1981-1988)
7 (2000-2005) ...vs... 2 (1973-1975)
8 (1970-1972) ...vs... 1 (1995-1999)
5 (2006-2007) ...vs... 4 (1976-1977)
ROUND # 2
...I'll post these match-ups based on your votes for the 1st round winners.
Knight Division winner ...vs... Shield Division winner
Monte Division winner ...vs... Carlo Division winner
ROUND # 3 (championship)
...I'll post the final round match-up based on your votes for the 2nd round winners.
Roads Region champ ...vs... Wheels Region champ

ROUND # 1
6 (1978-1980) < I'll go against the grain by stating that this is probably my favorite gen of Monte. "Training Day" turned me onto these years & I've started liking them.
2 (1973-1975) < Classic Monte styling, not plagued with quad headlamps like later models. 00-05 were built cheaply & fell apart from what I've seen.
8 (1970-1972) < The original going against a two door Lumina? No contest here.
5 (2006-2007) < 5.3 engine in the SS would wipe the floor with any of the 76-77 cars. Sorry guys.
Overall: 2 (1973-1975) - If I voted for anything else, wouldn't it be sacrilege to our forum? lol

Round-by-round results & contest winner below....
Remember the MC trivia contests [Jeopardy! (2006 & 2010), Wheel of Fortune & others] I've done with different prizes? I thought this would be a fun & easy way to raise money for favorite forums/boards/groups/charities. Results (& money raised) would've been different if more of you had voted!
If your favorite model years did not make it very far this time, you MAY have another chance with a different NHL/NFL/MLB-style playoff.... That in mind, POSSIBLE seeds for NEXT time...:
#1 = 1970-1972 (
