I'm in. Glad it's on CBS too. I'm working on my comprehensive guide to ditching espn

Mods should this get pinned for the next month?

If I can make a recommendation...go into options and, maybe, change to your board name? Either that, or we need a list of what names go with what people...

Thanks East Valley!!!! (got it right this time)

I know people like to get really creative with their bracket names but it would make things so much easier if everyone used their names they use here. But at least post here with your bracket names so we can try to keep track.

I tried to sticky this thread but I think maybe only an admin can.

UADevil.... can you help me out? (Or am I missing how I can do it?)

Alright folks... Sign up and make your picks!

If you can use your screen name that would be helpful.

Good Luck

Didn't give me an option to edit a screen name anywhere when I signed up...

Every year I get into this tournament, the only game I play here, and I always seem to end up close to last place.

Why am I having so much trouble picking cincy over Ga st.

Alieberman · Post by **Alieberman** » Mon Mar 12, 2018 7:06 am

We have a 2 seed with 10 losses.... trust me, there will be lots of upsets this year.

PieceOfMeat · Post by **PieceOfMeat** » Mon Mar 12, 2018 9:40 am

I entered.

After filling it out, I realize my bracket looks a bit funky with the upsets I picked, yet still ending up with (mostly) chalk at the final four.

I'm prepared for last place

Is there a way to view everyone else's brackets?

I think you can after the tourney starts.

In, I did the first round, my 4year old did the rest. Probably do better than I would.

Can we have more than one entry?

In this I would prefer it is 1 entry per person

RichardCranium · Post by **RichardCranium** » Tue Mar 13, 2018 6:23 am

I'm in. I hope. There is nothing to indicate what group are in after you have saved it.

I hope that clicking their prize invite it didn't drop me out of the group.

I'm not seeing your entry if it is under your user name.

This CBS bracket is a little odd. Everyone should re-check it their bracket is in this group and your picks saved. Mine disappeared once and I had to redu them.

I'm in. I've also been using Quibbl too for game by game predictions. Site needs some work but it's great for someone like me who thinks a bracket isn't enough.

No prob. Thanks for setting this up. If you can see my bracket, you will know that I am a good father

Edit:: He loved saying the word Purdue, it made him laugh.first time we have done a bracket without pictures of trademarks.

PieceOfMeat · Post by **PieceOfMeat** » Wed Mar 14, 2018 12:53 am

question. are we allowed to make changes to our bracket, post "first four" games depending on who wins them?

Alieberman · Post by **Alieberman** » Wed Mar 14, 2018 3:46 am

Yes.. you have until before “real games” start on Thursday to finalize picks

ahh good, thanks

I mean, I'm not saying I thought ucla would win the play-in and then win at least another game......I was just asking for everyone else's benefit.......yeah......that's the ticket!

Alieberman · Post by **Alieberman** » Wed Mar 14, 2018 2:56 pm

OK folks... last chance to get your picks in. And it looks like a couple people who have signed up haven't completed their picks. Make sure you double check.

Good luck... and winner will receive a 1 year free premium subscription to BearDownWildcats. This is a once in a lifetime chance!

U.P. Zona Fan · Post by **U.P. Zona Fan** » Wed Mar 14, 2018 5:36 pm

Oh man, is it transferable? Maybe I can con my 4 yr old in to trading it to me for a tootsie roll.

Well I am in, but it listed my CBS user name which is my actual name. I don't see a way to change it, though I think the contest entry offered me a chance to change the user name which I set to RichardCranium. I'll try to do another one with my BDW user name.

edit: aha - it set up a completely new bracket challenge under RichardCranium. Hmmm....

Go to options at the top of the page. That will allow you to change your name.
