Picking the Field Contest

[ucswais]

If anyone is interested, CBS/NCAA websites are running a free contest to see if you can pick the NCAA tourney field and seeding/matchups before selection Sunday.

I setup a group (both name and password are "bearcats") if anyone wants to try it. If not, thats fine I'm going to use it to track my selections anyway.

Hint in case anyone tries it: if you drop down the filter on the left you can limit it to just winning teams or by conference so you can make sure you get a winner from each league.

Also, if you don't feel like filling one out, maybe you can tell me where mine is way off base by viewing my picks.

Related to that, are we allowed to post links? ... I'm not pimping the site or anything, its a free contest.

Post it, brother.

We just announced our own contest with a prize attached. So I would prefer that our members join our official one. I'm not opposed to links (at all), but in this case, it's counter productive to what we're trying to do...get more people involved.

Since it isn't the actual tourney, but simply picking the teams, I guess I'm ok with it.

swg, I agree, but I think this is picking the teams that will be selected for the tournament...not picking who will win it.

EDIT: Quit editing your posts so fast!

Try this and use your CBS ID if you've already got one...

I think fast, and I type faster.

Its up to you guys if you'd rather get rid of this thread, it was just an idea. Just to clarify, this is not the place to fill out your bracket with who you think will win... just try your best at bracketology before selection Sunday. It is unrelated to the real contest here.

Nah, you're good ucswais. I'm registered, and will make selections sometime today.

In it to win it.
