Bracketology 2024

[FrostByte]

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/60503/invitation?key=7592e9f946bcfb3e

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.

After you’ve joined the group, following this link should take you to the group home page:
https://tournament.fantasysports.yahoo.com/mens-basketball-bracket/group/60503

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.

Yay!

I wonder what I should name my teams?

[FrostByte]

Please note that the play-in games (which really don’t count for the bracket) are on Tuesday (3/19) and Wednesday (3/20).

The first game, which once it starts locks your bracket, is on Thursday (3/21). Please be sure your brackets are submitted before then!

[renatuslives]

@FrostByte

Please be sure your brackets are submitted before then!

[hot72chev]

[cycokiller]

Alright… I’m in.

[pepper114]

I’m THEPENGUINMUSTBESTOPPED.

Because I clearly cannot follow directions.

[daveinwarshington]

[daveinwarshington]

Reminder to everyone: you need to ‘hide’ your email address from public view every year. This will need done again when you do a second bracket.

[FrostByte]

Thanks to @daveinwarshington for pointing out that the emails MUST be “hidden” per bracket.

Go to your bracket, click the gear, and un-check the third box and click SAVE.

I’ve bolded and underlined this in the first post so hopefully people will see it there as well.

[bchlor4evr]

Shhh, I’ve been curating a very particular list of spam services just for this event.

[pepper114]

Good thing my account is set up with my spam-goes-here email address.

[jniemeier]

@pepper114

THEPENGUINMUSTBEEATEN

Agreed

[jniemeier]

I didn’t follow directions either but you should be able to tell which brackets are mine.

[pepper114]

I’ve been waiting 30 years to find out what names you’d pick.

[sammydog01]

None of the teams I like made it in so it’s time to pick the best mascots.

[mdrcoast]

Every year I mean to change my username… only been 20 years and I never use it,

[daveinwarshington]

DONE. Entered. Twice. Gonna take it for all the marbles this year!!

[renatuslives]

Toothpaste Chicken final!

[FrostByte]

If they all get submitted, we currently have 10 brackets.
