As you may or may not know, FreeMoneyFinance is running a “March Madness” contest for finance-related weblog entries. In late February, he solicited entries (up to four per site) and put together a huge tournament bracket. Starting last week, he’s been post batches of “games” that pit individual posts against each other in head-to-head competition.
Once the games are posted, readers get to vote, and the winners advance to the next round. Round 1 is now complete, and I’m pleased to announce that FiveCentNickel and Raising4Boys went a combined 6-1 (with a first round bye for one article). Here’s the breakdown:
