The Arena's Bracket Challenge, Year 3

March Madness is upon us! In just a few days, the brackets will be set for this year's NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. And The Arena is going to have a bracket challenge ... and you can win colors and VIPship for a week!

Rather than having someone track all submitted brackets and leaving room for human error, we'll be using Yahoo.com to host a group for us. To participate, you'll need to not only sign-up in this thread, but you'll also need to sign up at yahoo for the group.

The winner of this challenge will be the user declared the winner of the Yahoo group. That user will enjoy one week of VIPship and custom colors.

The information you need at Yahoo Sports:

Group name: The Arena Bracket Challenge
Group ID#: 60302
Group Password: lol@inty

To sign up here, please include the following on the sign-up list: Your JC ID, your yahoo username (that you use for this game), your pick set name. Please keep in mind that the TOS will still apply to things posted at the yahoo group.

Last year's winner was rechedelphar!

Let's sign up ... add your information, and add as many spots as we need.

Whoa, whoa, whao. I could have sworn I won this last year. I remember I had all 4 final four teams correct and had Kansas winning. I got colors too.

 

lol

that's what I get for just copying and pasting last year's opening and changing just the league info.

I'll fix the OP rech

 

Two errors get pointed out and one fixed?

lol @ all our bracket names

 

You act like I actually read things Grimby posts. I did, before he became an admin. Now, like everyone else with that status, I just auto-ignore him.

And, besides, if he could make a post in the Arena without loading it with sarcasm maybe he'd get better responses and bring a better aura to the boards. I'd expect as much from an admin.

Brackets are online!

 

Yay!

 

I can't wait to stare at them forever and doubt myself on every choice. Hours of speculation and debate begin... now.

 

I know, right? I've made one pick so far, and its a tough one. I'll even tell everyone what it is: Louisville over the play-in game winner. Oooh.
