Folks: Benny and I talked about doing a NCAA Tournament Bracket competition on Yahoo. The info to participate is below.

Click here to join
Click here for our bracket
League ID: 24843
Password: ncaat

Make sure when you sign up to use your "exact" SEC Talk ID for your bracket so we can identify who is participating. We'll need to correlate the entry on Yahoo with your user ID on here for the prizes.

There are a couple of choices to use for accumulating points. I liked the "progressive" scoring vs. the default Yahoo scoring, so that's what I set it at. The progressive scoring gives 1 point for the 1st round, 2 points for the 2nd round, 3 points for the 3rd round, 4 points for the 4th round, 5 points for the semis, and 6 points for the Championship. I can change it prior to the NCAAT if the preference is something else.

First place winner will receive a Fathead of your choice provided by our friends at Sports Shop: Reggie Bush, Brian Urlacher, Michael Redd, Manny Ramirez (Dodgers), Chad "Ocho Cinco" Johnson, Jonathan Vilma (Jets), Shaun Alexander (Seahawks), Roy Williams WR (Lions) & Jason Taylor (Dolphins). Ties will be broken by postcount.

Good luck to everyone!

Shouldn't we do an NIT challenge since most the conference qualifies for that and not the NCAA.

Sure, or we could do one for the Women's NCAAT since it'll be full of SEC teams.

For those of you that plan on participating, let me know your preference on the scoring system to use. As I mentioned, I like the progressive scoring (and have tentatively set it up using the progressive system). The progressive scoring gives a little more credit for correct picks in the later rounds (more than the straight scoring), but not too much (less than the Yahoo default scoring). However, I'll set it up based on the majority choice. It can be changed up to the time the brackets close.

Here's the three choices you should consider. If I get little feedback, I'll leave it as progressive scoring.

Progressive Scoring:
1st Round: 1 point (per correct pick)
2nd Round: 2 points (per correct pick)
3rd Round: 3 points (per correct pick)
4th Round: 4 points (per correct pick)
Semis: 5 points (per correct pick)
Championship: 6 points

Yahoo Default (Traditional) Scoring:
1st Round: 1 point (per correct pick)
2nd Round: 2 points (per correct pick)
3rd Round: 4 points (per correct pick)
4th Round: 8 points (per correct pick)
Semis: 16 points (per correct pick)
Championship: 32 points

Straight Scoring:
1st Round: 1 point (per correct pick)
2nd Round: 1 point (per correct pick)
3rd Round: 1 point (per correct pick)
4th Round: 1 point (per correct pick)
Semis: 1 point (per correct pick)
Championship: 1 point

As Benny said, it's up to you. Whether you do or not has no impact on our "group" competition.

Whoever is auburntigers24911 in the pool, another comment like "You people are <insert racial term> here" will get you booted from the pool. That message is completely uncalled for and will not be tolerated. I deleted the message from Yahoo.

EDIT: The more I thought about it the more irritated I got over the nature of the message that this person put in our group messages. I saw where I had the option of "locking" him out of putting in messages. So that's what I did. He can no longer add messages to the group. I'm not even sure he's a member of this site since his ID or bracket name doesn't match up with anyone on here.
