Bracketology 2023

I renewed our pool over at Yahoo Sports this year. If you played last year, logging in with the same account should keep your bracket names, but feel free to switch it up if you want (keeping with the recommendation below, of course).

To join, please follow this link:
https://tournament.fantasysports.yahoo.com/mens-basketball-bracket/group/7993/invitation?key=bdb6dc516373c544

You may need to enter our group password to join, which is:

ebw

When creating your bracket, please name your bracket with the screenname we know you by here so we’ll know who we’re playing against. If you already have a yahoo account, you might want to also add a screen name there, or consider that when creating a yahoo account.

Once joined, you can click on your bracket settings and you can disable the sharing of your email with others in the group. There are actually 3 options, but the first 2 allow communication through the pool, so it will limit the ability to receive broadcast messages and reminders. You can also rename your bracket here if needed.

:w_light:After you’ve joined the group, following this link should take you to the group home page:
:point_right: https://tournament.fantasysports.yahoo.com/mens-basketball-bracket/group/7993 :point_left:

Please let me know if you have any issues setting up your account. Brackets will not go live until after the after the selection show on March 13, so right now it’s just getting registered and ready to play.

The Brackets will be available on March 12.

The first four games are on March 14. If you submit between 3/12 and 3/14 you’ll either assume one of those teams loses in the first round, or you’ll be selecting the winner to move on regardless of which team.

If you wait until after those games when the brackets are finalized, then you’ll have until tip-off on March 16.

Just waiting for some division championships to finish.
On West Coast here we’ve got some interesting things happening with Big West, Pac 12. Teams are changing divisions next year too.
