FAQ

Here at Bulldog Battle Headquarters, we often get questions about the battle, how it works and what people can expect.  We thought we'd help out by putting this page out there to answer most of the questions you might have. Honestly, if your question isn't answered here, it can't be answered.  Call someone in India.

Q: I don't really know anything about basketball and haven't followed anyone this year.  Should I play?

A: Oh yeah, do four entries.

Q: If I win, when will I get paid?

A: Payment occurs within 10 days of the close of the Battle.  Of note, the top 10 cards are scored, re-scored and verified by our firm of Douche and Douche after the tournament to assure accuracy.

Q: Is Todd Neff really an idiot?

A: Top of the heap brother.  This hasn't changed since day one.

Q: This pool seems a little "risque"...should I let my 8-year old enter?

A: One of the goals of the Bulldog Battle is to teach kids that cuss words are bad only if you don't know how to use them correctly.  "Johnny, you're a shithead."  No... it's "Johnny, you're a shithead." See?

Q: Why don't the play-in games count?  

A: They're stupid.  The tournament is 64 teams.  

Q: What if there is a scoring error?

A: Send an email to us and we'll verify your score.  If we find that you're an idiot and can't score it correctly, we are going to ridicule you so choose wisely punk.

Q: Is there an administrative fee?  Does the "house" take anything?

A: The only thing we get is the $20 from the moron who ended up last.  The rest of it goes to the prize pool.  

Q: Was Larry Rader really in Menudo?

A: Look it up. He continues to deny it but he knows the truth.

Q: So, really, how is this scored?

A: Please read the rules.  If you don't get it you can send us a question but everything is pretty straight-forward.

Q: Why the language? Can't we have fun without all the language?

A: Go Fuck Yourself.

Q: When do you post results?

A. We promise you that we'll do them at least by the round.  Lately, the web gurus at Bulldog Battle HQ have been posting updates by the game but there's no guarantee.  It all depends on the ratio of beer in the pop machine to time of day.

Q: How many people score these things?

A: A lot.  There's the staff at Bulldog Creative that cringes / looks forward to this every year.

Q: 32 years...really?

A: Yeah, we've had a helluva time doing it too.  It's really grown and we have fun with the competition and the comments.  Hey, look here, if you'll pay us $20 for a shot at Glory and put up with immense ridicule...where else can we get away with that?

Q: Has anyone been in every battle?

A: Three individuals: Chris Michael, Larry Rader and Todd Neff.

Q: Is it true that no one from North Carolina has EVER won any money?

A: Fortunately for all the rest of us, yes.
