What is Ani-Madness?
"Ani-MADNESS" is a basketball/sports-styled bracket that requires you to choose which animal you think would advance from each match-up. It's your decision which animal is the coolest. You can play it safe in trying to guess public opinion or rally your forces to get your champion to the winner's circle! All funds raised from entry fees go toward GBAAZK's working budget which allows us to present conservation, education, and professional development opportunities to our members and community.

How do I fill out a bracket?
Filling out your Ani-Madness bracket is just like filling out a March Madness bracket, but you choose the animal you think will win a popular vote rather than who would win a basketball game. Still have questions, check out the slideshow below:
How do you score in Ani-Madness?
Match-up winners will be determined by popular vote on our Ani-Madness 2017 event page.
Each correct answer will be awarded points, tabulated by GBAAZK member who will be grading competition, that are determined by round. Point distribution can be observed as follows:
Round 1 Correct answers= 1 point each
Round 2 Correct answers= 2 Points each
Round 3 Correct answers= 4 Points each
Round 4 Correct answers= 8 Points each
Round 5 Correct answers= 16 Points each
Round 6 (Championship) Correct answers= 32 points
Perfect Score= 192 points (every match-up correct)
In the event of a tie for 1st-3rd, the prize winning positions, a sudden-victory poll will be held. Animals selected for the poll will be chosen by tied participants and will be a 24 hour poll posted to the main GBAAZK page at a time when GBAAZK feels most appropriate. The animals must be of the participants choosing and not already present on the 2017 bracket. Once an animal is selected by participant that choice is FINAL. Winner will be chosen by popular vote at the conclusion of that 24 hour period. Winner of that poll will maintain position while the loser will be placed in standing position immediately below.
