The Game
The 800 Games Project was the ultimate individual pursuit. This year we are, together. Six teams are criss-crossing the nation, Amazing Race-style, working together to create awesome college basketball content for you at home. They're recapping mid-major college basketball games (100 points, plus mileage bonuses) and taking on weekly challenges (150 points). Each team has a fantasy mid-major player who gets them points every time they step on the floor. They're all going for the most prestigious prize in all mid-majordom: the Golden Bally.

Meet all six teams below, and read some samples of team members' recent work. If you're interested in playing The Game, try contacting one of the teams via Twitter to see if there's an opening for you as a full member or a substitute. If not, you can still root on your favorites by supporting them with Root Points (requires Bally Club login) or clicking the +1 button on their Season 9 posts.
