Yahoo Fantasy sports hosts a free March Madness Bracket league. It is free, and you can set up a private league. All you need is someone to be the commish. The commish sends out the league name and password, and then invites members to join by email. All you need is an email list to send out the invite. If I was not so busy grading papers, I would happily do it, but time is a bit tight right now.
Count me in if someone steps up to the plate.

I'll play too. I'm still pulling for the Hoosiers just to get in the big dance. Another must win for us in about 45 minutes.

Is this just for pride, or should we have a small entry fee $5 or $10? If so, 80% 1st place 20% @nd place
Feedback please

ah no comment you said it best duh same thing. So are we set up, and by what time must the brackets be completed, and by what date must the money be in, in order to be eligible. Last year in one pool, 5 people never paid, and the fool that would have won did not send his money in until the last week, when he realized he had a shot. This year in my buddies pool, money post marked by the first day of the tourney, or you are out.

There is a link in one of the earlier posts. Looks like a $10 entry fee.... Money in by 3/19 or postmarked by 3/18...we can do paypal but there is a fee on recieving money...once everyone has registered I will send out an email where to send $..I think brackets become locked that first Thursday morning.if you want to register, send your money and wait till last minute to fill out a bracket that is fine with me....

I mean, I hope my Gators do well, but personally they are just too soft. They'll drop in the first round or two like they have the last couple years.
