My Morning Bracket

[capt. scotty]

are we doing this again this year?

I started it up again. Anyone who played last year should have just had an invite emailed to them.

If any new people want to play, PM me your email address and I'll send you an invite. $10 per bracket, you can fill out 2 brackets if you like.

I dont see any "league ID" like in previous years, password is "bosco" if you still need that even with an invite.

sweet.  paypal you the $$?

I'm in again but having trouble joining. When I try to join using the link in the email and password it takes me to a yahoo login page and no more sign of the pool. Any ideas?

[walterfredo]

I'm already in a different pool that uses the same yahoo pick em site, and it had my picks from the other pool already put into my bracket for this one, but when I change them, it changes it on my other pool.  need to figure out how to be able to make separate picks??

Hey Eric!!!  Same problem here....once I logged into my Yahoo account, it asked for a verification phone number.  A code was sent to that number, and I had to use it to get into the bracket.  I was a little hesitant about giving the number, but it all worked out.  There is another option to click if you don't have a yahoo account.  If that is the case for you, maybe try that. 
Totally psyched to be in it to WIN IT!  Tell me the email to send the $$$

[ericm]

Hey Trish, thanks. I tried that but I'm not getting asked for a phone # after I log into my Yahoo account. It just takes me to their main news page.

You might try just going through Yahoo's site to get there, making sure you're signed in (My Yahoo>Sports>Fantasy>Tourney Pick'em). This link should take you to the spot for joining a pool with the ID and password.

walter, I think the deal there is that you can use the same bracket in multiple pools without having to edit them all if you needed to. There's a button for adding another bracket (looks like you can have two in a pool), or you can leave the pool and join it again, picking "Create a New Bracket" in the bracket list when you do.

Ugh! Thanks Chris but still no luck. I have a yahoo account, and am logged in to it. When I try the link you posted it takes me to the join group page. When I use the Id and password then click to join it takes me to another Yahoo log in page. When I log in again, it takes me to the same damn yahoo home news page every time. I'm stumped. Seems like I'm getting directed to another sign in page instead of the bracket page. Makes no sense since I'm logged in before even opening the link or Scotty's email.

Weird. Other remedies to try are clearing browsing history including cookies, log out and back in, or a different browser. Or just don't join the pool, I seem to remember how you whupped our asses last year...

and I was going to enter two brackets this year, to give you guys a shot at getting some of your money back.   

Thanks for the tips. I tried them but still no luck. Gonna keep at it, and hopefully get it straightened out. Not sure what bugs me more; not being able to try for a repeat or not being able to figure out why I keep getting a yahoo log in screen instead of the bracket page.   

[walterfredo]

I've got 2 brackets filled in, let me know where to send the loot.

Sorry, no advice on how to fix your problems Eric. Have you tried contacting yahoo? Im having difficulty just entering my picks on chrome, I cant close out of the damn thing the tells you how to make picks. It seems like its working on IE but damn I forgot how much IE sucks!

Also, we dont have many people in it, so feel free to give the bracket id and password to friends if you know anyone who would want to join (and will pay  )

[Ruckus]

I'm in!  Good luck guys and gals!

[Crispy]

Y'all are in serious trouble -- my spreadsheet-based bracket picking system predicted three of the four play-in games correctly! Good luck to you suckers, I'll be collecting my winnings soon after the Wofford Terriers win the championship.

[Jackets N Pones]

Good luck everybody!

[ericm]

Good luck everyone.

I tried everything I could think of to clear up the registering problems but nothing worked. There's some type of Yahoo glitch on my end that I can't clear up, so I'm out this year.

It sucks!!  I was looking forward to defending and giving you guys a chance to win some of your money back.    I thought about sending Scotty my pics, and the $$ and seeing if he would fill out a bracket or two for me, but it wouldn't be as much fun if I couldn't follow along and see who everyone else picked, and how they were doing.  Good luck to you Trish, and keep the title in NJ!    

On a side note, I'm 2 for 2 so far in the groups I could enter, and had Dayton with a nice upset. Sorry Penny, but had to pick against your Buckeyes. 

[ericm]

Can someone post the scoring system for the pool? Points per win per rd, bonus PT's, etc. I totally forgot how we did it last year, except for the bonus PT's for an upset. I'd like to see how I would've done. 

[Crispy]

Not sure why I've even looking at this anymore, since Wofford's out.
