    It's that time of year again, a time of year that many consider to be the best in all of North American sports: the NCAA Division I basketball tournament.


    [​IMG]


    http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/ncaa-tournament/brackets/viewable_men]A[/url] look at the 2014 Men's bracket


    Before I lay out the prizes & rules, be aware that this is all for the Men's tournament which begins tomorrow with (the) First Four games. The women's bracket has yet to be announced, and I don't know how much of an interest there will be for a game for that tournament. We'll see.


    Rules:

    Your bracket has to be PM'ed to me by 3:35pm PST tomorrow afternoon. Full brackets only; round-by-round selections will not be acceptable.



    Prizes!:


    There will be only 2 prizes:

    A perfect bracket= A year worth of colors. That's more desirable than a $1 billion dollars, right?


    The user or users (since a tie is theoretically possible) with the most correct bracket= 1-2 weeks* of colors.


    Much luck! :D


    *I've submitted this allotment idea to Marcus, and am waiting to see if the 2 week figure is OK.

    I think I'm going to pull a @trimaj and announce that I will not participate. So don't even ask me! I've lost my love of the sport. I might not even watch any games.

    Yes. Syracuse should be ashamed of themselves.

    Why the hell are you wanting people to pm brackets instead of using yahoo or something?

    Were you able to join the league by clicking on the link and not needing any extra info?

    I hate Yahoo's league set-up these days. It used to be so much easier.

    Must be because I'm on an ipad. Never works for links like that. I can't even post pictures on this site, unless using old school coding way.

    Anyone else wanting to join needs to get their picks in tonight before 1 A.M. EST, when Yahoo has their cutoff.

    I'm having issues with the SMS, too, so I'm out. Good luck, everyone!

    Next year, cbssports.com might be a better alternative. It seems to be easier to use than Yahoo.

    I'm in. Also, ESPN is another good option, and connects in with FB, which I've also got set up there.

    Yahoo really dropped the ball on this one, especially since there's such a small time window to get in on this, not a multiweek leadup

    Yeah, Yahoo is really pissing me off on these new "updates" to their fantasy games. Too bad we can't move everything over to ESPN or somewhere else, since the tourney has started.
