Gauging interest in an AARoads Forum bracket challenge

Curious who might be interested in filling out a bracket once the college basketball tournament starts?

No wagers, but the winner receives bragging rights on the forum.  :-D

I wanted to ask early to see who might be interested, and which site I can use to host the pool. I'm thinking either Yahoo or CBS Sports. I've used the latter to run workplace pools and they're easy to set up and track.

Any takers?

Oh cool, glad to see some interest.

If someone here already runs one, I'll gladly let him. Otherwise I'll look into setting one up.

Okay, will do.

Thinking I'll host it on CBS Sports. I'll post here again on Sunday when the selections are made with the info.

Did I win yet?

Well, you've got to at least close the brackets...

Yes. And I may do a mock-up bracket as well like I did in 2016-18. I remember 2018, which was the only time ever a number 16 seed defeated a number 1 and busting most of the brackets.
Supporter of the construction of several running gags, including I-366 with a speed limit of 85 mph (137 km/h) and the Hypotenuse.

Please note that I may mention "invalid" FM channels, i.e. ending in an even number or down to 87.5. These are valid in Europe.

Deal me in. Basketball isn't one of my favorite sports but this year I've made sure to watch more college basketball, as I'm intent on building a bracket dynasty within my family. Might as well expand my reign to AARoads as well, right?

I'm game, especially since it looks like UConn will be back in this year.
Interstates I've clinched: 97, 290 (MA), 291 (CT), 291 (MA), 293, 295 (DE-NJ-PA), 295 (RI-MA), 384, 391, 395 (CT-MA), 395 (MD), 495 (DE), 610 (LA), 684, 691, 695 (MD), 695 (NY), 795 (MD)

Here's the details on the group I set up.

I used ESPN. You'll need to create a free account. I'm using the app, but I imagine the site is similar. Here's the details.

- When you choose to create a bracket, you have an option to join a group.

- The group is AARoads Forum and the password is interstate366 (lower case)

- For the name of your bracket, please use your forum name so we know who is who.

- I'll post results after each round.

Good luck, everyone!!
