The DU NCAA Pool is back
Edited on Sat Mar-13-10 02:17 PM by Hokie
I set up the DU NCAA Pool on Yahoo. This is the link: http://tournament.fantasysports.yahoo.com/t1/register/joinprivategroup_assign_team?GID=57368&P=dupool2010&P=dupool2010

If you participated last year you should have received an invitation. The scoring rules are the same as last year. You can enter up to two brackets. If you need the password it is "dupool2010". Good luck!

I will post the standings after each round.

14. In case you did not know
You can create brackets and finish or change them any time before tipoff of the first game (I think it is just after noon EDT tomorrow.)

2. Just like one bullet.
One bracket. Any more is gutless.

4. Password doesn't fit, needs fewer characters...
Is the group # 57368? If so I need a different password.

5. That is the correct number
Edited on Mon Mar-15-10 01:07 PM by Hokie
The password is "dupool2010" without the quotes.

6. Wierd
It worked for me this time around. Last time I tried about 3 times but could only get "dupool2" to fit. Oh I just remembered as I'm typing this I have issues with my '0' button where I have to press the button slow and hard. This time around I just copied and pasted what you just posted to me so it hit me that it wasn't because it didn't fit but because me zero button has issues. Thanks. Didn't use the quotation marks either time. :hi:

8. Don't be alarmed
It says I have two brackets but only one is completed and will count. What happened was my battery died when filling out my first bracket so I went through the motions of filling in the password and so it prompted me with questions such as 'Bracket name' and so on. I know you made it ok for two brackets but I'm with Condem on the one bullet thing. :)

9. Request
I guess most people here have a Yahoo account name. Could everyone change their nicknames for the pool to their DU Username? Just click on your name and then "change nickname".

If you don't do that then I will be forced to change mine into something unrecognizable so you won't know who made such great picks. :evilgrin:

I am still trying to get the yahoo crap off my computer from two years ago when I did it.

I'll take second place, considering where I was after round four. At least I won LynneSin's pool for the second time.
