Arena Bracket Challenge (now: second chance brackets!)

March Madness is upon us! The brackets are about to be set for this year's NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. And The Arena is going to have another 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#: 67997
Group Password: jcarena

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.

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

Nice, a region's worth of brackets

Spots are still open, though, just because the numbers on here ran out doesn't preclude anyone else from signing up

 

I'll join though I know very little of basketball! Looks like fun!

I don't understand how this works.

 

Join league, fill out bracket, watch too much college basketball.

 

Pretty much what Gunny said. The information for the league is in the first post (its being hosted by yahoo, so you need a yahoo account, but if you don't have one, they're free), then you fill out a bracket there, then whoever has the best bracket wins colors. Pretty simple.

Except that its usually the people who don't know basketball who win these things

 

That's because those of us that do know basketball know enough to be dangerous, but not enough to get everything correct.

 

And because it doesn't matter how much you analyze something, you're still probably going to screw it up in many places
