Betty .. brackets are going to be MIGHTY interesting this year.


The group will be on Yahoo! sports again this year.

1. Click on the following link to enter the Yahoo! Sports brackets

Yahoo Sports Bracket sign-in

2. Click on "Join a Group" When asked which group, it's the following:

Group ID #67387

Name: LCT March Madness
Password: lct

3. It will, at some point, ask you to sign into Yahoo! If you don't already have a Yahoo! ID, you'll need to create one before you put your picks into the system.

4. When you create your new bracket in the LCT March Madness group, it asks whether you want to use an existing bracket or create a new one.

If this is the only group you are joining, choose 'create a new bracket.' You'll need to come up with a unique name. I've used 'adrennblue'. If it works like last year, you cannot change your bracket name once you've created it.

For those playing in multiple groups - there's an option to 'select an existing bracket' if you want to play the same picks in each group.

5. Selection Sunday is March 15 for the men's tournament. Play-in game is March 17. Tournament starts in earnest March 19. Not sure if you have to have picks in before the play-in game on March 17, or if the deadline is before play starts on March 19. I assume they will notify us.

6. They will probably have a second chance men's bracket following the first weekend. If we like, we can do that bracket, too.

7. If there's a women's bracket, I'll set that up, too. Their selection is on Monday, March 16. No play-in game, so you have to have entries in before their play starts on March 21.

Cheers, Anne
