DU 2012 NCAA Tournament Pool

I set up a DU NCAA pool on Yahoo again this year. If you were in the pool last year you should have received an invitation email. If you wish to participate use this link:

http://tournament.fantasysports.yahoo.com/t1/register/joinprivategroup_assign_team?GID=41986&P=dupool2012

I set the maximum brackets to 2 and it uses a custom scoring system. You can turn in brackets any time between the time the field is set tonight until the first game of the round of 64 on Thursday.

PM me if you have any problems. Good luck!

I got my invite...this should be a tough year to pick..I can see quite a few of the higher seeds goign out early. I sort of hope they do...it's always a more interesting tournament with a lot of lower seeds advancing

Didn't get in last year, but will certainly try this year. But beware, I really suck at picking sometimes, like always.

For DU Pool - no way in hell I can get a perfect bracket. They should offer millions in the double digits if someone ever gets that.

First year ever I researched many teams long before the tournament starts.

my picks should be good for a since I have no clue what I'm doing & don't follow college sports.

Good luck. I agree this is a tough year. Once again it shows the conference tournaments are valued very little by the committee for seeding.

I sucked at the NFL picks this year and I actually pay attention to the whole season. College basketball I only watch during March, so I don't see me as a threat.

Puts some fun into it, though. Thanks for setting this up.

It isn't too late. Brackets close at 12:15 PM EDT.

We have 42 brackets so far. That may be a record.
