NCAA Bracket Challenge

Posted on March 12, 2007 by Brian

The brackets are set and March Madness is upon us. I want to invite you(yes you!) to join me in a friendly little challenge. Just click here to fill out your bracket and see how your picks do. Hopefully we’ll have a decent number of people join in and we’ll have fun seeing who wins.

Now for the details…

This group is hosted at CBS Sportsline and you’ll have to register for a free account to play. They do ask for first and last name and you zip code so if you don’t want to give that out then be a little, ummm, creative.

You’ll need a password to join the group. It’s madness.

All picks must be submitted by 11:00AM ET on 3/15. I suggest getting them done by the night before.

The scoring system is as follows :

First Round  : 1  point
Second Round : 2  points
Third Round  : 4  points
Fourth Round : 8  points
Semifinals   : 12 points
Finals       : 16 points

Any questions? Leave a comment and I’ll try to get it answered.

I’m registered and ready to make my picks! Can’t wait to see who takes us up on the challenge to join! This is a great idea, Brian! (And I’m not just saying that because I’m married to you…)

Becky - uhhhh, ummmm, thanks for dropping by? What does a crazy person say in a situation like this? :)

Jenn - Well you know, with our popularity in the blogosphere we’re likely to have six, maybe seven people take us up on this. That’s why I took the opportunity to spam invite several people personally. We’ll see how it goes.

Even though I haven’t watched a single game all year, I did my bracket. We’ll see how it goes.

Go Big Blue!

Hey guys! Nice to see everyone on board. The number is up to 6 now. I’d like to have a few more but if not we’ll have fun at it anyway.

Rob, I assume by “Big Blue” you mean UK? As much as I like them I think they’re going to have a hard time getting by Kansas. But, weirder things have happened.
