Good luck and let me know if you have questions.Sunday, March 14th 11:30 PM The pools is ready. Same rules as always. If you need a refresher on the rules, there's a brief summary with helpful information below. Good luck to everyone and invite your friends.
We had great success collecting the entry fees for the NFL playoff pool, so lets do it again.
Here's the recap and helpful notes on the pool:
Use the the link on the left to review the rules. For the returning players, the rules are the same. For the new players, welcome and good luck, but please read the rules as the scoring is unique. I'd hate for someone to win my pool not understanding how they did it.
Remember to hit the 'Save' button on CBS Sportsline every time you change your picks.
Make sure your email is current on CBS Sportsline, or you may not get the bracket for the second weekend.
The pool has two parts. Don't forget to submit your picks again after the first weekend. I will send out a new bracket after the first weekend (Probably on Monday, possibly Sunday night). If you do not get it, contact me and I will get it to you. Check your Bulk/Junk mail if you feel like your missing any email updates.
Feel free to enter more than once and/or to pass the invite along to your friends who will pay the entry fee. After you get your picks entered, remember to take time to pay your entry fee(s). As always, I'd like to pay the winners as soon as we have our final standings.
We do not score the play-in games, so you have until Thursday morning to get your picks entered.
Here's the link to the CBS Pool Website we will utilize for the opening weekend:

The pool runs through the CBS web site for the first two rounds. On the CBS Site, remember to hit save if you change your picks - nothing saves on CBS unless you hit the save button and you can't hit the save button until all the picks are complete. Also, you cannot create a second bracket until you complete and save your first bracket.
If you pay via Paypal, add a $1/payment for processing fees and mark the payment as a 'Personal'. Do not reference 'NCAA Pool' or 'NCAA entry fee' as the reason for payment. Paypal does not want potentially 'illegal' gambling payments flowing through their business.
