Title: Bracket Challenge
Post by: 2Stater on March 14, 2017, 07:41:57 AM
I found this from pmull's post last year:

Quote
ESPN Tournament Challenge

Group: Crimson Red Sports

Password: Roll Tide

You have to register with ESPN to join. If you registered last year all you have to do is log in. Search for Group "Crimson Red Sports".

Let us know by posting here if you are having trouble getting your entry entered and the first person you can will help you.

Good luck!

Joining a group is not intuitive.

You've first got to figure how to join the group, THEN fill the bracket.  Lots of loops in that system, which I circled numerous time before figuring it out!

Three important considerations:

1.  Fill out and save a bracket
2.  Join the correct group
3.  Make sure bracket is part of the group

Easiest to do if you join the group first and then fill out a bracket as part of the group.

Okay, what's you alls winners in the Semifinals & Finals? I think Oregon beats UNC & Gonzaga beats USC (I finally believe in Gonzaga which means they probably lose). In the Finals, I think Oregon wins it to be National Champs.


I picked Gonzaga to beat UNC in the Final, and I'm sticking with that pick, though rooting for USCe.

I have the same final, but UNC winning.

I have two brackets in another group, one with Gonzaga beating UNC, and the other with UNC beating Zaga.  It was a coin toss for me.

No cheating, two brackets allowed in that group, which includes the real Prothro and some former college hoops players.  But this old guy is beating them all.   :lol2:

Too bad Thornwell was not 100% for South Carolina, or that might have been a different outcome.

Okay, CP, it's down to the final game: Gonzaga vs UNC.  It's now a tête-à-tête contest between us for all the marbles!   :lol2:  I wish your team a good game!   :eyeroll:

LF and I totaled our wins in the brackets.  I had 39 picks right.  She had 42!  I've already lost the home contest for the 3rd straight year.

 :(
