March Matchups 2024 is Coming | Submit Your Picks

I’m excited to announce voting for March Matchups is officially underway!

What I love about March Matchups is you—Logos users—are in control of the final products (and ultimately, their discounts).

If you’re new to March Matchups or just need a refresher, here’s how it works this year:

Visit the March Matchups page to start “drafting” your picks.
Fill out the form with 10 of your most sought-after Logos commentaries—the ones you’d love to get a discount on.

Note: Instead of adding the items to your Wish List as in previous years, all you’ll need to do is copy/paste the product’s logos.com URL into the form for them to be included.

Submit your picks by February 6 to make sure they’re considered.

Come March 1, our brackets will max out with 32 Logos commentaries competing for the championship. The further they get in the brackets, the higher the discount!

Since voting closes February 6, I wanted to make sure you have plenty of time to get your votes in. And I’m looking forward to seeing what everyone’s most-wanted Logos items wind up being.

Go to logos.com/march-matchups to submit your favorites.

Until then,

Happy Matchups!

I don't have many commentaries on my wishlists, so the Matchup may not be for me this year.

thank y’all for doing another great sale. having been a user for 10 years, I have come to expect the March Madness sale, but even with it being a given I'm still thankful each year to see what I might be glad to get.

I’m sure lots of people love the format of voting on huge commentary sets to go on sale. But, for someone like myself who is on a smaller budget, even the winning commentary set at 60% will cost just too much.

I wonder if the March Matchups will ever return to what they were years ago: voting on authors and then many of their individual works go on sale. And there are books on sale beyond biblical commentaries. Back in the day, I picked up a lot of good books this way.

I agree 100%.

Also, the task required for this in the OP is too much work.

A kind request for fellow logosians to vote for (I already did):

Concordia Commentary Collection (43 vols.) | Logos Bible Software

A commentary set that has not been in any kind of discount for the last ten years.

I'm not sure, how realistic it is to get this one to the March Madness finalists, but hey: You can always try!

100% agree. I'll probably end up spending nothing due to the format, but when it featured individual books, I used to spend a lot. One year when we voted on collections of commentaries on books of the Bible, they ended up blowing to pressure to make the commentaries available separately.

I can certainly understand that. I've been collecting NIC 'one piece at a time' like Johnny Cash's Caddie. If NIC won, and dynamic pricing, I'd probably pass, unless the discount was uneconomical for the publisher!

So, I'll probably just keep watching individual sales. Two in Feb!

I would like to participate, but I don’t have the time to browse the website and then copy and paste each resource’s URL individually into a form. I think the process should be simplified.

You know you can select any commentary set? So, for instance, I’ve come to love WBC. I have multiple major commentary sets for seminary and personal study, but just find WBC to be something special and prefer it over anchor Yale or NICNT/OT.

Relevance… let’s take the book of Genesis (WBC is #1 rated commentary for Genesis). It’s a two volume set. Each volume covers half of Genesis. Other examples are the pastoral epistles, etc. So you can (could? Not sure if votings Over) vote for the mini book specific set that’s 2 volumes or so. I voted for the full WBC set, then the NT set, then the OT set, then some of the smaller sets specific to a book. But I voted for all WBC. So, you don’t have to just vote for the complete set. Per rules it was any set/collection. That includes things like the 2 volume set that covers Genesis. When searching, you can filter by the major set you like, then go down to type and select collection and see all collections within the specified commentary series.

I think the point is, individual books go on sale throughout the year. Commentaries basically never do, other then in March… It’s the one time in the year a lot of fellow seminary students and pastors can afford the commentaries they need or want. Really hoping WBC makes the list this year. It’s not included in any base package and it’s far surpassed even Anchor Yale. Anyways, they have amazing sales on books and works by authors every month, if you follow and check each month and follow the facebook group too!

I love the NICNT/OT collection! I bought it last year than realized it was included in the next level base package and wasn’t more than I paid for the commentary set. I ended up returning the set and upgrading my base package and getting the set plus an extra few thousand resources.

The only collection I like more at this point, is WBC. I think NICNT/OT is still better for some books though. www.bestcommentaries.com

I’ve buying individual books or mini sets from WBC as needed for research/academic papers, but also typically will use NIC as an additional source. The combo of those two has been a win. The individual volumes of WBC are incredible expensive though. If they went 60-% off, the full set would cost the equivalent of 8 Individual Volumes (or about 4-5 books of the Bible lol). I’d jump on that deal in a moment.

Have you found that NIC lacks depth for some books? Some books I’m noticing it’s very detailed and has a lot of depth and great insight, highlighting things I never would have thought of. Others, it seems far less detailed and not really useful for seminary. Overall a great set and one of my go to collections. Hoping It makes the finals for you!

Only 6 days to submit? I would have liked to participate but alas I could not. Maybe next year.

I will also echo that if the prices for the sets are too high, then I'm out. Most of the time, just because of $$$$$ high pricing, I buy one at a time. It's easier on my budget that way.
