No cost to participate.

Thanks! Sounds good,I'm in.

Spread the word :) Open to anyone.

I'm in. If I am in the bottom 1/2 of the pool at the end, the prize money will be doubled to the winner. So start rooting against the evil Admin.

Here's a Selection Sunday bump. I'm still pissed that NC State got the shaft yesterday against UNC. The officiating was some of the worst I've ever seen in a conference semifinal. But it looks like the Fla State Seminoles are taking care of the Tarheels today.

Brackets will be out within the hour...sign up in our Yahoo league to win up to $150!

Brackets are up and available to fill out in our Yahoo bracket challenge.

Who's going to be the first No. 1 seed knocked out?

Cool. :thumbup:

I'm in.

I'm in and my brackets are done!

I agree, the refs had to get real creative to make sure State didn't come out win a hard fought win. That's OK, what comes around....

My daughter is so glad she chose State over that Blue school down the road. A nice freshman year for her with football and basketball programs looking much improved.

Go Wolfpack!

Oh yeah, I'll sign up for this Madness thing ;)

My bracket is complete. Last year I had UConn picked as the winner. Not sure if I can pick the winner two years in a row however. We'll see.

did it late last night
 

So, the deadline was Tuesday night, as PY said, or Thurs as Yahoo states? Where do we monitor the progress. I'll probably be out after the first round anyway.

Greg

Follow the Yahoo rules. We are just a group on the Yahoo site. So you can follow along with the progress on Yahoo as well.

That's what's great about March madness, you are rarely out of the running until it's down to the final 4.

You can monitor the progress of your bracket, and all the other members in the group by going to GROUP Home Page on Yahoo's page. Just go in like you're editing your bracket...then click the PY March Madness Group tab.

Also, we will post updates/standings here on this thread and also on our Facebook page.

Is it bad if i made my choices based on who had a cooler emblem?

Thats me every year!

Deadline to submit your bracket on our Yahoo pool is 12:15 ET today!

MADNESS
 

I'M IN!!

Not pleased with the Admin's performance on the first day! :)

Absolutely NO LUCK joining the group!!!! Help. I DO NOT normally use Yahoo OR Face book>

Sorry Bill, you needed to join yesterday by like 11:00am before the first game was played. :(

It's a long tournament. My bracket could fall apart at any time. I made a couple of bold predictions that could cost me.

My brkt is good, and i am watching the results; just not in the group. So i'm not in, correct??

hmmm... I'll have to defer to one of the Fantasy experts on this. Not sure how we could keep track of pools not in the group. If you are in the hunt late, I would 'lobby' for inclusion. :)

The join group kept asking me for an I.D. number and password that the group administrator gave to the group members. Do we have one???

I think it is in the topic starters original post of this topic
