Is anyone putting one of these together? If you're gonna have fantasy football and baseball, you gotta have a bracket contest. Right?

I'm in if someone throws it together. I always go ESPN and Yahoo brackets amongst others I do with friends/family. I'm a bracket whore.

I second Adam to run the contest. Given the choice between the two, Id prefer Yahoo but I would sign up either way.

We usually do yahoo every year. And none of this "what I want to happen" bracket and "what I think will happen bracket". Just 1 bracket that you think will win. The same should be said for every competition you are in.

Ok, I'll set it up this weekend. On Yahoo. Because Yahoo is better than ESPN in all fantasy games.

Is there a way to get around entering your mobile number to enter the contest?

What are the odds that someone could actually win? I've heard its more likely to win the lottery.

you would have to hit the powerball 10 times to even get in the same stratosphere as the odds of getting 63 winners in a row in an NCAA bracket. I think I read an article where the closest anyone has come in history (Yahoo and CBS) was 58 winners out of 63 games in 2007

I finished a respectable 3rd place in both my Yahoo and my CBS Sports Online brackets. I do find it ironic that the last place finish on our Flamefans challenge is called "The Bracket Above All Brackets." :D

After all of these years of doing bracket contests i finally won one :D Of course this doesn't bode well for me in the future since it took one of the craziest NCAA tournaments to occur for me to come out on top.

Going into mourning now that college basketball is over :cry:

I concur about the Mourning part. I get reinvigorated though in July/Aug when Football starts back up because I love football and would really enjoy working it again to tell the truth. But also because I know college hoops is right around the corner. Congrats to you Naz on your win. I have never won a pool but I have finished in the top 3 about 9 times in the past 20 years or so of playing. I don't think I ever did one before 1994.

Naz, you did a great job in your appearances on the Game On show too. Excellent work. Can't wait to get on there with you soon.
