Oh, yes, the Earth still exists, and so does basketball, and so does March. So it's time to play.
https://narshe.me/CoNCAA2022 Group Name: CoNCAA Password: flanitor Here's more info, stolen liberally as usual from prior years: Quote We want people to play even if they don't care about sports. So spare me your posts about "what game is this? Does it have a ball?" it doesn't matter. The fun is in the guessing. Our provider, ESPN, will let you create an account with social media, and it will help you make picks any time you want, so you can put in as much or as little work as you feel like. If you run into problems, feel free to ask questions in here or in Discord. You can make automatic picks any time, though they will be boring picks. So you can sign up now, click a button, and forget about it if you want. Or you can click the button and come back later to make "better" picks. We will know what teams are in the bracket on March 13, at around 5pm Eastern time. The games that fully matter start this year on March 17, but brackets may not lock until just before noon on March 17 - we're still waiting on confirmation from ESPN on that. Again, the best time to make picks is between the evening on March 13 and midday on March 17, so plan on doing it within that window. If you sign up ASAP, I'll remind you via email, social media posts, and in this thread. Hope to see you playing!

20 Years of This Madness reporting for duty.
Confirming that yes, those throw-away emails still work!

Brackets are now available for picks, for anyone who might have seen this but not yet signed up.

This is the first year I have entered in which my usual champion pick is out from the get-go. Do better next year, Oregon.

I saw my email reminder with just enough time left to pick a generic bracket (based on "the people's bracket"). I immediately attempted to edit it with some thoughtful picks, but the first game had started and I was locked out.
So here's my bracket for this year, the Last Minute Returners. Go Gonzaga!? https://fantasy.espn.com/tournament-challen...ntryID=71948168 |

As usual, my randomly picked brackets did better than the one I actually tried with.
Still, I'm happy with joint 6th! |

I want to call out Althea, who had a pretty good run to finish middle of the pack for her first time out! I think that joint fourth is the highest I've done in quite a while myself.
Edit: since ESPN won't keep these forever: 1. Gabe 2. Stiltzkin 3. Kappa This post has been edited by Rangers51 on 10th April 2023 18:38 -------------------- "To create something great, you need the means to make a lot of really bad crap." - Kevin Kelly Why aren't you shopping AmaCoN? |
