NCAA Bracket "contest"

Being self-employed, I'm finding myself without a bracket pool this year. So I thought I'd start one up here. Real basic, real simple. Just Yahoo's free "Pick'um" bracket.

Here's my thinking. Any Puff member can enter. There is no entry fee. At the end of the contest, the winner can, if he so chooses, provide his address to the group, or to individuals who might request it. Anyone who wants to can send prize sticks to the winner. But there is absolutly no requirement for anyone to send anything. In other words, the main prize is bragging rights.

One bracket per person.

Re: NCAA Bracket "contest"

try this link: http://tournament.fantasysports.yahoo.com/

Instead of group name, be sure to enter the group ID#, which is GID#116207 and the password from the prior post.
Select My Groups & Brackets; Create Bracket; name your bracket, etc. You give your bracket a unique name of your own choosing, then pick the 60 winning teams for each region all the way up to the championship and final winner.

Thanks for posting this opportunity to pick winners and add to the fun during the games!

Holy balls Dave. That's damn impressive. I wonder what a 16-team parlay would have netted you?

Re: NCAA Bracket "contest"

20 for 20 so far in the first round.

I don't follow basketball very much, but I have been watching my picks today. Holy Cow, that Oaklahoma State was close and so was Marquette! I'm sure enjoying the NCAA Tournament, especially the last 5 minutes of the games!

I'm tracking the games and watching the last 5 minutes from this website: http://scores.espn.go.com/ncb/scoreboard
