You can sign in with either a Yahoo!, gmail, or Facebook account.
Brackets must be completed by 1:00am EDT on Thursday March 20. Note that this is earlier than in past years, where I think they allowed brackets to be entered up until tip-off of the first game on Thursday.
Limit of three brackets per person.
Scoring: Last year I experimented with the “Progressive” scoring model (1-2-3-4-5-6 points per round) with an extra point for each upset pick, rather than the “Traditional” scoring model of 1-2-4-8-16-32 points per round.
This year I’m going to go back to the “Traditional” scoring model, but will keep the extra point for upset picks only for the opening weekend (round of 64 and round of 32).
Let the Madness begin!
Please let me know if this group ID works. For some reason Yahoo! isn’t displaying it anywhere on the group page that I’ve been able to see, it only shows in the URL for the group page.
Did you change the password? I’m getting the following message:
“There was a problem
The password is incorrect. Please make sure that it matches the password that you got from the commissioner. The commissioner may also have changed the password since they last sent it to you. (Error #109)”
I’ve copied and pasted multiple times, and tried entering it manually.
Sorry, try lowercase - cecil123. I mostly copied and pasted from last year’s thread, and now that you mention it, I think we had the same problem last year. :smack:
ETA: Forgot to mention, but Yahoo has added an annoying new feature where you have to enter your cell # so it can send you a text message with a code number you have to enter before you can join. I think this may be the last year doing this on Yahoo.
The other thing that happened to me when I was renewing for this year is that after they sent the pin to my phone and I entered it, it told me that there was a problem registering my phone number. But after I signed out of Yahoo and signed back in, I was able to get into the group. The whole registration process just seems really glitchy this year. (Of course me giving out a bad password doesn’t help!)
Annoying indeed. I almost decided to proceed no further over that. Fortunately, it appears easy to opt out of receiving any actual text messages, but yes they have your # anyway.
I think if someone creates a league on the ESPN page, and posts the league info, I will play that one.
But i won’t play on yahoo, because I don’t want to give my cell phone number out. I don’t understand why that’s a requirement (well, i DO. It’s called revenue), but I don’t want to give yahoo my phone number for text messages.
