I’ll take a look later this morning. I did change the name from last year’s group - maybe the name change didn’t stick.

OK fixed. Apparently I did not create a group for \*this \*year, I just changed the name on the group from \*last \*year. :smack:

From the link in the OP, click the Groups tab and search on the group name, then click on the group name in the search results. That should take you to the group page where you can enter your bracket.

That was the old name. The new name is just “Straight Dope”.

Haven’t watched near as much basketball as I usually do since Mizzou has had the worst season in the history of the program.

Ha! You’re right. And I see entries in both groups. OK, well I guess folks can add their bracket to whatever group they want, “Straight Dope” or “SDMB Bracketeers” (or both). The password is the same for either group.

If needed, I’ll either list rankings for both groups, or combine them, or… I don’t know. I’ll figure something out.  
Y’know, one of these years I’m going to actually get this thing put together without screwing something up. :smack:

I just hit “rejoin” under Bracketeers, and it seemed to work (ESPN brackets under “Robert B”).
