2010 Net54 NCAA Tournament bracket contest

[Rob D.]

You can enter the annual Net54 NCAA Tournament bracket contest here:

http://games.espn.go.com/tcmen/en/group?groupID=12092

The name of our group on ESPN.com is: Net54

The password is: cardboard

ESPN.com's groups allow you to create more than one entry, but for this contest, one entry per person, please. (If you don't already have an EPSN.com account, you'll need to create one before you can join the NET54 tournament group. This is a pretty painless procedure and takes little time at all.)

There is no money involved in this pool, though the top three finishers will receive prizes.

First place: The winner gets custody of the Hal Chase "traveling trophy," pictured below and currently held by 2009 contest winner Rhett Yeakley. Winner agrees to take good care of the card for a year, promises to not try to sell it on eBay or the B/S/T and vows to mail it to next year's winner.

First-place winnner also gets his choice of one of the three other cards pictured below: 1921 Exhibits Steve O'Neil, 1928 Yuengling's George Uhle or 1933 DeLong Lon Warneke.

Second place: Choice of one of the two remaining cards

Third place: The remaining card

(Only the Chase card needs to be passed on in 2011.)

You can create your entry at any time and make your picks shortly after the pairings/brackets are announced tonight. Changes can be made to your picks until the tournament starts.

If you have any trouble registering/entering or have any questions, feel free to e-mail or PM me.

Good luck!

Thanks, Rob, for putting the bracket together. The prizes are a classy gesture. I suppose I should also put in a shameless plug for MSU. Go Green!

I'll ask again, as I did in the first thread, may we have up to three entries? I know one can but may we?

Steve,

I wasn't ignoring your question in the other thread; I just never saw it. Sorry about that.

I see that someone has indeed created five entries. When I set up the group, I read that the most entries one can have is three. There was no way to change that setting, so I figured we'd allow it. If you could limit the number of entries, I think most people would agree that one per person is the way to go. But we can't. The fact someone has created five is bothersome, but I'm not sure what we can do about that.

Suggestions welcome.

I've never been a big fan of multiple entries for the same person in these types of pools.

It doesn't look like anyone else has really done more than one entry so maybe we could just say only one entry to be filled out per person?

The extra entries can just sit there with no selections being made and would therefore be irrelevent (I would contact the guy so he is on board with that idea though).

It looks like some people have created 4-5 entries. Is that being allowed
