There was a problem:
• You must have a team to join a private group. (Error #148)
How do I get past that? :(

Your team name = Your pogo cheats sign on ... After that, it'll ask you for the stuff Homer posted at the very beginning of this thread.... Hope I helped =\
I don't know why I entered this contest. I know NOTHING about college sports, don't know the players, which teams have a legit chance at winning. All I know is that I'm rooting for Univerisity of Texas, El Paso... huh, what do you mean they're not in. Awwwww crapola! Ok, I'm picking the #65 team to win it all!
Homer sorry but my somehow I registered as raptors2k4.. Just so you know thats my ID in the fantasy game :)
As for the error it was simply from the stupid Opera browser which is now uninstalled for good. Gl all and lets have some fun! :)

I think most people would figure that out. You can leave it as is. One of the reasons I wanted everyone to use their PC name is so we can poke fun at each other along the way. Now that I said it I'm sure I'll fail miserably. LOL :))
I hope I did it right O0

It appears that you did. The big thing to remember is you need to make
all your picks prior to Thursday's deadline. I've run pools where people thought that they could pick after each round. :o It just doesn't work that way. ;)

Thursday! I better get cracking! Yikes!
Well I picked mine so here goes nothing :D
when we pick do we just do the 1st round on each region or do we go all the way thru all the weeks????
I did the whole thing....I dont know exactly what I was doing but oh well...just click away O0

Done, correctly, I hope ...I used to keep up with Basketball...just not lately ...so guesses will do...good luck all 8) O0 8)
Cheers to Ya Homer spb.gif and Thanks 8)
I don't know the 1st thing about basketball, but maybe I can pick winners in this game better than I pick the pony's based on their names! :)) Homer, please let me know if I signed up correctly. Thank you spb.gif Good luck everyone!
Not that the reward is small for this tournament but what about 2nd and 3rd place users? Would they get anything (like 1 free auto each).. (I'm just curious :D) spb.gif
IL over Duke 90 to 87
ok i joined now...i did it backwards picked first then joined group...kept getting an error message but finally got to the page where i fill in the ID and password...thanks Homer
:)) This is going to be so much fun! I don't have any idea what I am doing, but joined anyway. :))
Its my prediction .... That those of us who have NO clue will actually do better than we expect ....
green arrows arnt doing a thing for me..ill go mess with it some more. maybe i can type the team in.
click the green arrow .. should move that team to the next bracket ... then click again .. and it SHOULD (Notice I say SHOULD) keep moving up
So lost here, I'm on a screen that wants a pick'em set, what is that?
Ok, i think I'm in, but how do i make my picks? Can someone explain this?

You press the green arrow to the RIGHT of the name of the team you think will win that matchup. They will then move over to the next round. At which point, you may then press the green arrow to the right of that and so forth.
Ty saint, think I got it now........so how is the winner determined, whoever scores most amount of points in the tourney? and basically we won't know till the whole things all over, huh?

For the most part, I don't think there will be a need for a tiebreaker as it will be pretty tough for two people (or more) to have the same amount of wins when this is all said and done. However, they do have a tie breaker that's determined based on the Championship game and that's the score of the game.
ok you can ALL laugh I know nothing of college basketball either BUT I LOVE John Wayne so I picked DUKE to win the whole she-bang in the end....hahahahahaha

Ok, now that I laughed at the Duke-John Wayne thing, you may laugh at me when you finished ahead of me!
:)) :)) :)) It will be one of us that has no clue about basketball that wins this ...isnt that how it usually works :)) :)) :))
One winner one prize.
Just like the Tournament. ;)
If anyone is still having difficulty let me know. ;)
had my buddy do secratary for me, but the piks are in. the green button just wouldnt work, i clicked it an it went to the submit button without moving any teams in boxes. must be some wierd thingie on my comp. ::) this is gonna be so fun, what a great idea homer!!! sp.gf

If you are ziggy then no you need to make your picks again. I do not have access to anyone's picks. I can only tell if someone has completed their picks or not. Your picks show as incomplete. Remember to make your picks for every round now.
Maybe I will win something for omce! LOL spb.gif
Thanks Homer.....think i got it now? :-\

Now the money pool I went the other way and picked U Conn.

:'( 1 out of 3 so far.... :'(

It was a good game and they gave it their best. Doesn't mean they don't deserve fan support but if you want make the pic generic (something like saying Final Four or March Madness), that way it doesn't have to be changed ;)
The updates are done for tonight. I'm in 4th for now. LOL One of my brackets is destroyed. :(

Washington and Oakland brackets seem to go bad for you .. My bad brackets are a bit better off than yours but I got 3 of them :( - Atlanta, Oakland and Washington .. ah well.. nothing I can do now about them now :D
Btw congrats on 11400th post ;)
if the rest of the tournament goes as planned ill still come out ahead....in spite of the million upsets ::)
I'll be happy to come in the top 10. I'm in 5th place on another pool. ;)

I'll be happy if I come in 1st.. j/k .. I did not know much about college basketball but yahoo predictions helped somewhat.. they messed up some of my predictions (theirs were wrong) but oh well.. some helped me.. anyone else check with yahoo predictions before pick lockdown on thursday? :D
Not me. I just wing it. I don't watch college bball until the tournament.

same here
Nope, Yahoo! is never correct enough for me to take their advice. I just go with the betting line!
I had never heard of most of them, I just closed my eyes and clicked. I am just lucky that I am not down there with nightperson. :))
I was tied for 2nd this morning and now Im like 36 :)) :))
So when they say what goes up, must come down, there not lying.. :P
Me too. Went from 2nd to 16th in a span of two hours :-\

You are tied for 4th.
You need to log into Yahoo to access everything.
Ouch. Another one of my elite 8 teams got downed. George Mason just edged out NC.
UConn is barely hanging on too. Only up 3 over Kentucky. :-\ Thould be a disasterous day for my bracket
Phew. UConn held on for the win. I have them going to the finals, so they better not lose before then :(
That Washington bracket screwed many people over today.. From the people on the top I think I could score the most points if my remaining picks are all correct. Yahoo says I can have 175 points and most other people around the top are lower than that in the max points category. Damn this NC, George Mason game .. I bet everyone got that wrong, right? :D
P.S.: I got it wrong too ;D
eh least uconn won
well thats a bit of a relief, yeah.. i got them going to final four so they better win again ;)
oh boy...I'm like so out of this....Both my picks to go to finals are out... :'( :'(
Gl to the rest of you !!
thankfully my top picks are still in it :)
I had Ohio winning it... :'(
eek :-X
There were a lot of upsets so far this year and I'm loving it!! Didn't help my picks out but wth, lol.
I've seen some really good games and am looking forward to some more!!

Your total points dropped at the end of the day but I'm sure everyone else's did too. You're down to 163 now. Good luck to you!!

That's true.. I think everyone else's dropped before mine did and that is why I saw everyone having way less than mine, but there are people that can get more than me now if everything goes fine with their picks ;)
Well I have a feeling that nobody is gonna get all the picks right this year--after all who in their right mind would have picked George Mason over UNC--I still cant believe it--but Good Luck to everyone in the upcoming weeks and enjoy the games ;D O0

That's the beauty of March Madness.....when the underdog does well. But I do agree with you, I never would have picked GM over UNC.
Well, since I don't know anything about NCAA sports, I'm just flying blind but as long as I don't finish last (and that's already been established as something I can't do), then I'm a happy camper!
If i may ask who is winning in the fantasy thingy??

WOOHOO LSU!!!
How many people had them in the final 4? :P

now i probabaly won't win because i just jinxed myself :(

lol if the rest of my picks win and lsu wins it all id be #1 :P
long shot but hey :)
gooo ucla :D
If UCLA blows this game I'll scream. >:(
ucla winning keeps my hopes alive for now ;D
I'm diffidently out, bring on football :D
I guess I should come out of lurk and say.....Yeah!!! (before the games tonight and I am no longer in 1st place) :)

Homer, Of course LSU would not be in the final 4. I am not playing in the tournament, but being LSU's #1 Fan I could have told everyone to pick LSU..... :P j/k
GEAUX TIGERS!!!!
im now rooting for them :P
id win >:D
U C L A?
if lsu can beat duke...why not ucla too? :)
U Conn just got flushed. :o
stupid uconn knocked me out :-\
if villanova does not at least go to final four I guess I'm out too.. I got them winning it all but right now they are losing by 6 :(
P.S.: It would suck if they do win it all because the current coleader has the exact same picks and it would be just >:( if it comes down to choosing the ladder leader by combined score :(
Nova is done. :(

Last I checked there were no 1 seeds left. First time since 1980 I think.
LOL.. Then I misread or "missaw" something.. I thought UCLA was #1.. Then this was one hell of a tournament.. They should call it March Madness 2006 even in next tournaments :D
now to try an decide who to bet on in he final four and maybe make alil money back >:D
Well, unless LSU can pull out some sort of a comeback, it's going to be Florida and UCLA in the final.
From looking at all the entries, I think we have a winner already.
OK, who's going to win?? Florida or UCLA?!?!
ucla i hope :D
i put a nice amount of cash on ucla :P
Sorry, I'm a fan of USC (that's Southern California, not South Carolina) so I'm always picking against UCLA! Go Gators!
