Once again, I invite you to join the BWI March Madness Pick'Em. As always, the competition is just for bragging rights. There is no entry fee to participate, and you don't win any money for winning the March Madness Pick'Em.
To join, CLICK HERE
Unfortunately, the process I go through to set up a group isn't the same as if I'm trying to join a group. As such, I can't 100% vouch for the below steps -- I basically copied last year's instructions.
On the screen you are taken to, click on the Join a Private Group button
On the window that appears, there are 2 blank fields.
- opposite Pool id, enter:
114998
- opposite Password, enter:
pennstate
- click on the Join Pool button
At that point, you have to Sign in if you have a Yahoo account, or you have to create a Yahoo account if you don't have one. As I have an account that I use for the board Pick'Ems, I can't step you through the process for Signing in, or Creating an account. I presume you follow the prompts.
Once you are past the sign in/account creation process, you are taken to the BWI March Madness screen.
You have to name your brackets (I believe they are called Pick Lists, which I strongly suggest that you use your board handle as part of the bracket name).
Each participant can enter 2 brackets in the BWI March Madness. So have a serious one, and a hopeful one, or a I'm-gonna-win one, and an upset one, etc.
The scoring system is as simple as it gets. There are No Bonus Points. Each game in the tournament is worth 1 point.
Best of luck to all that participate.
If the pool reaches max size (which I don't know if there is one, or if there is what the number is), please let me know. In past years, I've created additional pools if we reached the limit.
If any of the above steps don't work, please post as much, and what I should correct my post to indicate, and I'll do so.
