Title: March Madness Tourney
Post by: EricThomas on March 19, 2008, 02:29:51 AM
If anybody wants to join our 900 Global Bracket challenge you are welcome to.  Phil and myself along with others that work here will be playing. If you want to join here is the info.

go to espn.go.com click the Tournament Challenge link.  If you arent a member create one, its quick and simple.  After you create your user name click create/join league.

Put 900 Global as the league.  Its a private league so you need the password.  Its 900global  just as it appears in this post.  This is free, and just for bragging rights.  Hope we get a few to join.

Thanks

Sweet. I'm in, as I already had an ESPN bracket.

ON EDIT: I'll be in as soon as ESPN fixes the "unavailable right now" glitch.

Ugh!  Wish you would've used Sportsline.com (CBS) for this.  ESPN's system is horrible.  Like rev, I just wasted at least 5 minutes "dragging" picks.  Really, who uses a system that requires you to "drag" the winner?


Edit:  You guys are more than welcome to join my bracket.

ESPN lost me a long time ago.  Plenty of other sport sites out there that actually work, and don't require a paid membership to access half of the content on the site.

If you didn't want to join in the first place, you should have left the thread alone. Start your own thread about the monster that is ESPN.

Wow Chad, who pissed in your Wheaties?  Funny, I don't see how your post was even on topic.....isn't that what you do the best?  Maybe I should notify the mod that you aren't following the rules?  From one "whiney brat" to another!

up to 13 now, still got a few hours to join.  Who wants bragging rights on the Global board?

Phil and I have raised the bar.

WINNER WILL RECIEVE THEIR CHOICE OF A CODE OR BREAK PEARL.

Now if one of us win, everyone has to buy one.  Just kidding.  But trust me if we well let me rephrase if Phil wins our ears may start bleeding from all the smack talk we will have to listen to.

Does that mean everyone who finishes above Phil and Eric get their choice of a Break Pearl or Code?  Because if we beat you guys we are all winners  

All joking aside that is a really cool thing to do.  Thanks for the donation to the winner.  How many companies do that.  2 possible free balls from you guys.  The Code if you can get the message in the logo
Choice of Break Pearl or Code if you win the NCAA tournament.

I've got two ESPN brackets already.  Is it cool if I enter both in this group?
Title: Re: March Madness Tourney
Post by: EricThomas on March 20, 2008, 09:07:20 AM
Please keep it to one entry.
Trust me you dont want to see Phils brackets.
He has his picks, his PHILosophy picks.
Strength of mascot picks.
Blindfolded finger picks.
Coin toss picks.
And finally his random computer generated picks.

The past couple of years, I did an entire bracket of coin flips.  They surprisingly weren't awful, just medicore.

I have been trying to get my picks in for the last hour, but their servers are down or something. I submitted my bracket, but when I click on join a group and enter 900 global it asks for the password and when I enter it the page goes white and says cannot find page. I got 5 more minutes to get in!

Eric uses Darts. He hit the wall twice missing the bracket altogether, a lot like his bowling release, sprinkler head release. His target in league is like the San Antonio area code 2-10 he hits anywhere between 2 and 10.

Since I have my bracket already submitted on espn, will it let me join your group even after 12:20?

I'm SOOOO mad.

Tied for first. But wait, Pittsburgh, my champion, has been out. I've got the rest of the Elite 8 so far, except for my champion.

I was in the 16.5% percentile for a while in the beginning. Now I'm in the 98.5%. Too bad Pittsburgh blew the game against Michigan State. It's ok though. These 4 number 1 seeds need to go down. Soon. I want a new bowling ball for when I go adults next year .

I'm more upset that I missed getting in the group by mere minutes...mainly cause ESPN was acting all fussy.

Post by: Dan Belcher on March 30, 2008, 08:39:57 PM
I feel like such an idiot.  I had to pick only one of my two brackets on ESPN.com to enter in this group, and I picked the wrong one.  If I entered my other bracket, I think I'd be tied for the lead.  (I'm in 3rd with a very good chance to win in my office pool with that bracket).
