Crimson Red Sports Bracket?

[Catch Prothro]

Are we going to have a bracket competition for the NCAA Basketball Tournament?

[Jamos]

I'm guessing not, with Smitty not being around anymore it may be a bit too much for SC and his schedule.

I don't have anything ready to host one here, but maybe we can use ESPN or another site to track the picks this year and I can award some e-creds to the winners.

How do these things usually work any way?  Since you pick all of the games up front, what happens if one of your teams doesn't make it to round 2?  Do you automatically "miss" the round 2 game since you don't even have the correct 2 teams in the game?  How do you determine who wins the contest?

You got it, SC. But points are awarded per correct pick, a correct picks value increases as tourney goes to later rounds.

CBS has a good bracket challenge. Someone needs to sign up. They get a password and group name. Then they share the password/group name with our forum for those that wish to sign up. Other than setting up the bracket with a group name there is no other responsibility for the group mgr. But sometimes these things reveal more personal info than you wish to make public on the forum. It depends on whether or not you have a existing profile or history with ESPN or CBS now.

Normally the brackets are done on a points system.  The person with the most points wins.  Tie Break is the score in the championship game.  One point for picking the first game correctly, two points for picking the winner of the second game, etc.  If you pick wrong up front, then you lose points for those later games too because you don't have the winner picked.  The existing bracket games use this methodology, although some use different point systems.

Count me in. I will fill out my bracket later today. Thanks for setting this up WV.

Thanks WV.  Bunch of college football fans picking basketball, should be interesting.  For me, it makes the Tournament more entertaining.

I think I already signed up with CBS Sports a while back. When I just now filled out the bracket, it is showing under my real name. I don't really care about that, but how will it affect what we're doing here?

Edit your CBS profile! HTH

We need to make a rule that you can only enter one bracket.

I put a sticky on this thread to keep it at the top and make it easier to find.

This may also be a good time to recruit some new members/posters. Tell your friends and co-workers about our bracket pick'em and get them to sign up.

OK, sorry being a moron here, but I ain't seeing a link. (4:47 p.m.)

(4:48 p.m.) Nevermind, I just found it in the Daily Thread.
