What site do you guys normally use?  I have a league set up for another group on ESPN.  It's fairly painless and you can use the ESPN Tournament Challenge app rather than a browser for those so inclined.

I'm trying to remember who set these up before so they can give us some ideas. Was it pmull, Catchprothro, or maybe 2Stater?

pmull created a group on ESPN Tournament Challenge that we've been using each year.

http://fantasy.espn.com/tournament-challenge-bracket/2019/en/group?groupID=361094

The Password is Roll Tide

I think we can just reuse this group for this season, but I'm :unsure:

Some of these potential match ups are tough. In the 2nd round, for me, it’s Cincinnati/Tennessee, Iowa St./Houston, Auburn/Kansas, & Gonzaga/Syracuse. This assumes they all win in the 1st round.

What a tough group!  PMull leading the way with a 1 out of 200 bracket (99.5 percentile), and 5 out of our 10 folks are in the top 7.5% of brackets in the country!

Heck, I'm in 7th place, and in another group I'm in with 16 people, I'm tied for first!  Good thing that other group is the one with my $20 in the pot!

BTW, you never paid for our bracket.
Send me $20 via PayPal.

Well I'm holding up the totem pole this year.  If it weren't for the "espn" entry, and con man 2 picking Michigan, I'd end up dead last.

Looks like third place ricky has the most potential points remaining.  His max potential is 1680, whereas pmull who currently leads only has a 1510 max potential.  (Despite being at the bottom, I have the same max point potential as pmull.)   :unsure:

Rooting for Auburn because they’re also in Alabama is like rooting for the Devil just because he’s in the Bible!!

Watching UK/Aubie, then next Duke/Michigan State. Before the game I thought UK defense would beat Auburn. Also, I’m picking Michigan State toughness to beat Duke.

Final Four so far: Texas Tech, Virginia, & Auburn. Next up, MSU/Duke. If MSU wins, CBS television execs will be jumping out of tall buildings in NYC.

Looks like pmull has the Tournament Challenge wrapped up with his Michigan State pick.  (The rest of us are locked in our positions with no points remaining.)


Congrats to pmull.    #+


(Wait, isn't this his bracket group on ESPN?  Do I smell a conspiracy?)   :unsure:
