Can you believe we’ve been doing this for 9 years now? Yes, it’s time once again to watch 67 of the nation’s best college basketball teams end their seasons in bitter defeat for our entertainment! Even better, we can point to those teams and say, “I knew you were going to lose that game!” because we filled it out on a bracket ahead of time.
So, how do you play? If you’ve played with us in years past you just need to login at CBSSports.com and click onto our bracket game. If it’s been a few years you might have been purged from the system and need to rejoin.
If you’ve never played before, follow this link to join our pool: http://ebwoot.mayhem.cbssports.com/e?ttag=BPM16_cpy_invite_returning
You’ll need to enter our group password to join, which is: ebw
If you need to register for an account with CBSSports.com I strongly recommend for the purposes of this game that you not use your real name; instead, use the screenname we know you by here so we’ll know who we’re playing against. In fact, even if you already have an account with CBSSports.com, you may want to consider creating a second account for our game. As group manager I’ll see your account name as well as your email address. I promise to use those for no purpose other than contacting you for game-related purposes, which will generally be done through the CBSSports.com interface, if at all (keep in mind your participation in the game is subject to the CBS Interactive Terms of Use and Privacy Policy).
Sign up, join the group, and make your picks! Picks must be made by Noon EDT on Thursday, March 17. You can fill out 2 brackets, giving you the option to do one with your best guesses, and one where you follow your heart and imagine your 16-seed alma mater defies the odds and wins the tournament. Whatever you do, have fun! But try to join the honored ranks of our previous winners:
2015: SkekTek 2014: SkekTek 2013: Brian Morris 2012: Brian Morris 2011: kenney9226 2010: kenney9226 2009: Josh Forsythe 2008: Schrobblehead
Will this finally be pooflady’s year, consistently finishing in our top 3? How quickly will Kentucky’s John Calipari be looking to go to an NBA head coaching job? How many players will Duke’s Grayson Allen trip and will the refs notice? Stay tuned to see!
i just did this yesterday but i already forgot how. mabe when you’re looking at your first bracket, click on the “plus” sign under the pulldown menu for your bracket name (near the top of the page, next to “brackets 1 of 1 created”)?
prolly need to log out of cbssports and log back in under poofguy’s account info. mabe use a different browser if you don’t want to have to keep switching back and forth.

That worked. And it’s pretty neat being able to import from another CBS site. I wish Meh’s was CBS.
