Author of this thread will gladly step aside if someone smarter and with more free time wants to start a group bracket and run it. Please


And no making fun of said author or you will be sacked



Hey guys and gals,

I know we have always used ESPN for our brackets but I had a hard time setting that up, so I went to Yahoo sports. I'll gladly step aside if someone wants to get ESPN up and running.


If not, lets try this
click here



This should be all the info that you need:

Group name: Polk Audio
Bracket name: "your screenname"
Group ID#: 70133
Password: jessehasnicehair



You have to have a yahoo ID but that's not a bad thing I don't think.

This is a new thing for me so post your questions and problems logging on here.


**Note** Where it says bracket name, use your Polk screename

Why don't a few of you try to get setup and see if it works for you. Try to use your polkie name in your setup and advise with any helpful hints:)

    I'm going to jump into it also.

    I love March Madness! I'll never forget watching this game and loving March Madness from then on.

    Late? Tipoff isn't until 12:20 Thursday. I imagine there will be a bunch of schmucks doing their picks just before lunch tomorrow:p

    I do believe I was a close second place last year, and a few years back, I won 1st and 2nd place in my office pool. You beeaaaches are doomed!
    For rig details, see my profile. Nothing here anymore...

    I usually like to get a bunch of smack talk in BEFORE the games start. By the start of Sweet 16, my pool is done.

    With 3 hours to go, EFF ALL YOU LOSERS! :D
