** Democratic Underground NCAA Sweet 16 Pool **
I set up an NCAA Sweet 16 pool on Yahoo for DU bragging rights. You can register any time but you will not be able to fill in a bracket until tomorrow after the field of 16 has been set. Here is the link:

http://tournament.fantasysports.yahoo.com/t2/register/joinprivategroup_assign_team?GID=2747&P=duncaa16

You have to log into Yahoo to join. In case you need the Yahoo pool info it is Group ID 2747, Password "duncaa16"

Yahoo has a great setup for pools this year. Be sure you hit the save button before you leave the bracket pages when yo fill it out. You can edit your bracket anytime between tomorrow and the start of the regional games on Thursday. If you have any trouble joining post back here or PM me. Yahoo will keep track of the standings in real time as the games are decided.

Make sure you are logged into Yahoo. Also, are you trying to enter a bracket from another pool? You cannot do that. In the original pool last week you could copy a bracket to another pool. I don't know if the same feature us available on the second chance pool.

8. Update...got it!
My picks are off the wall...if I win it's because no one else had the foresight (or stupidity) to make similar picks!

10. Thanks for the responses. We have 10 so far.

It should be fun. All the games are hard to pick now. It is easy to pick UNC of Mt. St. Helens in the first round but not so easy to pick these. Once the first game starts you will be able to see every bracket and who we all picked.

You can still join until 7 PM if you are out there lurking!

11. Naturally I picked my Jayhawks to win
and the Texas Longhorns to be in the Championship game too. You can probably tell that I'm a Big XII fan first and foremost.
