In order to participate, you'll need to sign up for a CBS Sportsline ID.

Goto http://fark.mayhem.sportsline.com/e (pops) and click on "Register Now" to get one then you can join the group from there.

Please use your Fark login for your display name and the group password is fark07brackets

If for some reason you're having trouble getting into the group, I can send you an invite, just email me at m­ete­pracgni­kla­w­net from the email address you want the invite sent to with "Fark" in the subject line.

I don't know if there is a limit for the number of people per group but if there is and it is reached, I'll create another group.

Standings will be updated daily and can be viewed here (pops).

All group information will be posted there as well.

Rules:
Deadline for submitting your brackets is 12 noon EST on Thursday prior to the start of Round 1 games.

Tiebreaker is the total score of the final game.

Scoring:
Straight up.
All correct picks in all rounds have the same weight and there are no bonuses.

Prizes:
1st Place: One year of Total Fark
2nd Place: Six months of Total Fark
3rd Place: One month of Total Fark

Total Farkers are welcome but in the event that a Total Farker places in the top three, the Liter that places next will get the prize.

Good luck!

Sounds like a good deal for litrs.

Maybe they will get to see it.

What's the likelihood of a 'liter ever seeing this...or beating a TFer at anything

Wait, I'm not eligible for a free year of TotalFark because I'm already paying for it?

That's no fair!

Can you queue them up?

I inadverdently tried to sponsor a TFer once and it wouldn't let me.

I like the idea, but I agree with the other folks. Hell, I'd be willing to cancel my subscription in order to claim my prize. I wonder if it would be possible to work with the Mods on this one.

Yeah, i dont see why we can't at least get an extension up to a year on the time left on our current contracts...

/not playing, but still...

If there's some way to swing that then we'll definitely do it.

In other news:

Puh-leeze use your Fark ID (Options > Personal > Your Name) for your name.

I have no idea who Cory Carrier, ROBERT SCHAAB or tocus toucher are...tastes like chicken.

I'm in - Florida goes all the way again.

i'll throw one in for fun

Nice to see Fark treating its TFers like the cell phone, ISP and cable/satellite industries treat their customers.

If you aren't a member, we'll give you free stuff.
If you are a member, STFU and keep giving us your money.

Are you the same guy that did this for the NFL playoffs then never paid off?

If so, I'm still waiting for the month of TF I won.

cazman

Are you the same guy that did this for the NFL playoffs then never paid off?

Nope.

And from the "who the fark are you?" files we have:
Cory Carrier
Jim Sikma
ROBERT SCHAAB
tocus toucher

I hate to repeat myself but after you sign up, if you could please change your name to your Fark ID, it would make everything a lot easier.

From the group page click Options > Personal then change Your Name to your Fark ID.

Sweet.

On the down side, you have to watch basketball, which is probably the girliest sport ever next to field hockey.

WalkingCarpet: Can you queue them up?

I inadverdently tried to sponsor a TFer once and it wouldn't let me.

I don't think it would be that hard to tell someone to cancel their membership and then give them a free year. Or paypal them 25 smackaroos.

what if my username is taken? (I really don't know how the hell that happened)

nevermind

swarms909 what if my username is taken? (I really don't know how the hell that happened)

Another identity theft victim.

Quick1

Yeah, we can iron out the kinks on the fly I guess.

WalkingCarpet: Yeah, we can iron out the kinks on the fly I guess.

When I win, you can just paypal me the cash for a year of TF. Or perhaps this thread will get Mike to fix whatever's wrong with queuing up sponsorships.

I got the winner right last year, but it was also the only Final Four team that I got right. I'll give it a go again.

So anyway, what's with all the hype for Winthrop? 0-4 against the Top 25, do we really need to say much more?

I'm out for the night so if there is a max on the number of folks in a group and it's reached, I created a second group...

Only join this group if the group in my Boobies is full

All group information and combined standings are here (pops).

Filter pwn

I went with my usual tried-and-true method of picking the team with the prettier helmets.

WalkingCarpet: Only join this group if the group in my Boobies is full

I think the maximum number of people on Boobies is two.

I won the fark liter bracket last year, and got nothin'. What's up with the sudden prizes?

Fortunately, some random awesome guy (not his actual handle) sponsored me for TF. Thanks, dude.

CheekyMunky: picking the team with the prettier helmets.

I chuckled.

did not know WalkingCarpet was a impotent farker..

Hey, I screwed up my reg, it went under reverendfitt, but my name came up Matt Fitzpatrick, so there goes my annaminity. sorry about that

Can I keep six months of TotalFark and trade the other six in for Swedish Fish or Asian Spa tokens?

I'd be willing to submit my picks, but I'm not giving out all my info including birthdate to register. Any other non-registering sites?

well, I for one am enjoying my #1 ranking right now, since it's not likely to last long.

reverendfitty: Hey, I screwed up my reg, it went under reverendfitt, but my name came up Matt Fitzpatrick, so there goes my annaminity. sorry about that

Just go under "Options"/"Personal". There's a place to change your name.

Here are my picks in convenient, not-having-to-join-a-group form:

1st Round: All the teams that win.
2nd Round: All the teams that win.
Sweet 16: The 8 teams that win.
Elite 8: The 4 teams that win.
Final Four: The 2 teams that win.
The Finals: Whichever overhyped program sinks more baskets.

Yes, I know...

wegro froestu: What's the likelihood of a 'liter ever seeing this.

I dunno. Pretty slim, I guess.

shiat, I joined the wrong bracket...let me see if I can fix this.

reverendfitty: Hey, I screwed up my reg, it went under reverendfitt, but my name came up Matt Fitzpatrick, so there goes my annaminity. sorry about that

Me too....Louie Sherwood instead of zeppo....sigh....

What if I win and I just don't want a TF account? Can I donate it to a bum?

/will never pay to read a glorified blog
//loves Fark, but not that much

zeppo: Me too....Louie Sherwood instead of zeppo....sigh....

See my post above.

You can change your display name via Options > Personal and just edit Your Name...

Sorry WalkingCarpet...please delete me.

/It's not like I'll win, anyway

ChristmasOnMars: loves Fark, but not that much

I don't care whether you do it or not, but it always makes me laugh a little when I see how much some people value 5 dollars

Just remeber one thing while filling out your bracket,

From_The_Year_2000: I don't care whether you do it or not, but it always makes me laugh a little when I see how much some people value 5 dollars

Heh. I'd rather save $5 every month for a year and spend it on a coffee maker or something

duke sucks! Go Flordia!

Count me in.

From_The_Year_2000: it always makes me laugh a little when I see how much some people value 5 dollars

Ah, but the issue with TF isn't the 5 dollars. The issue is linking your anonymous user name with a very not-anonymous PayPal account or credit card.

^^^^^^^^ BTW, did not mean to dis TFers. I just don't have any interest in reading the rejected headlines. Lite entertains me for about all the time I have to fark off between tasks at work.

What's a valid canadian postal code ?
