    Lou said brackets will be up later today. Don;t worry about the contest page that is up now, it will be moot once bracket is up.

    ok, there are 3 contests up for college hoops postseason -

    WHICH ONES ARE BRACKETS and WHICH ONES ARE JUST ATS/TOTAL PLAYS

    the legends $5k (I'm guessing this is the one everyone is talking about that Lou stated would be a bracket format and be released at some point today)

    Are these other two brackets as well and just currently screwed up in contest page:

    the $1500 between the 3 books

    the $500 sportsgeek one

    thanks in advance to anyone that can answer this

    Contest starts with round of 64 Thursday. Teams playing in the four play-in games are two-team entries. If the winner of the 12 vs. 12 or 11 vs. 11 play-in games affects your pick for the Round of 64, just wait until the play-ins are over as you have until first tip-off on Thursday to enter.

    If you care who wins the twp 16 vs. 16 play-in games, then you will probably lose this contest anyway.

    Good question. I already made a dozen picks in the $1500 3 Books contest. Is this contest a mistake or does it still go?

    You are good, the $1500 one is a straight betting contest as usual.

    The big $5000 one is the bracket contest.

    You don't pick that particular game. Instead the winner will play West Virginia. So you then get to choose between WV or the UAB/Clem winner.

    If you want to do your bracket now. games involved in the 4 play-in games are two team entries.

    Or, if the winner of one or two pay-n games affects who you would take in the Round of 64, you can just until the play-in game is over as deadline for this contest is tip-off of game Thursday.
