I have created 2 bracket games at CBS Sportsline for anyone on the board who would like to try it out. The first one simply scores 1 point for each game the first round, 2 for the second, up to 6 for the final game. The second one has the same basic point structure but your points are multiplied by the seed of the team that you picked (so if you pick a 12 seed in the second round and they win, you would get 24 points). You would have to register at Sportsline to play. You can join the league by using the links below. The password for both leagues is “cecil”.

In on the 2nd, I love that format and wish more people would use it.

Im signed up. I also prefer to use the second scoring system as it rewards underdog victories.

I’m just bumping both of these bracket threads to give people one last chance to join. I would encourage people to try out the second one in this thread even if you are doing the Yahoo one, just because of the different scoring.
