    Great contest, but I have to ask. Why the seed point bonus for upset wins? Makes the contest very different from other bracket contests. Who knows, maybe it makes it better in a good way, but my general sense is that that encourages people to pick for crazy upsets rather than perhaps who they actually think will win, and is that really a good thing? Don't know...

    A question about the seed points bonus as well: If you say have a 14th seed who beats the 6th seed in the second round, but you picked the 14th seed to win vs the 11th seed instead (you had the 11th seed going through in the first round rather than the 6th seed), do you still get the seed point bonus in the second round for picking the 14th seed to go through even though they did not win against the opponent you had anticipated them to be against (of course you should get the points for the first round but what about the second round)?

    Deadline to enter a bracket is March 17th? When they start on Thursday the 16th though? Everyone should have a perfect Thursday

    Believe you get credit through the brackets for a lower seeded team beating the higher seeded one even if you did not predict the specific matchup.

    i used a combination of the genius octopus's past picks and the Trump monkey, and learned that nc will be the champion, beating duke, and that the total pts scored will be 147 in the final.....

    damn monkey/octopus combo is MON-AAAYYYYYYY!!!!!

    You've successfully registered for the contest. All you need to do now is log-in to http://www.runyourpool.com using the username and password you created on their site. Once you're logged in to RunYourPool, you can click My Pool Memberships in the top right to take you to our bracket.

    when I'm logged into the site and click my pool memberships under my username it says "there are no pool memberships to display". I am logged in and everything is correct but no sbr pool or bracket there to fill out

    could it have somwthing to do with using using an iPhone?

    Today I used link to site and sbr name ect came up, and it asked if I wanted to use exsisting name/password or enter a new one. I chose my exsisiting info and entered it, (name and password) , and it took me straight to pool membership page again, and under my username said "no exsisting pool memberships" again just like before. Not sure what's going on

    It sounds like you may have created a new registration on RunYourPool not tied to the bracket contest. We show you as being enrolled as 5mike5.

    At this point probably best to just sign up again as a new account, 5mike5_2 or something like that.

    Go to Bracket Site
    enter Pool ID 39768| password sbr515

    Then you should be able to submit your bracket right away.

    Can anyone answer a question for me, please? Is there an email that you have to respond to as stated in "Fine Print" in post #1 of this thread? Or is it only if you use a random screen name? I followed the FAQ section of support on the bracket site and since my question wasn't listed as one of the scripted answers I followed Step 4: Contact your pool administrator
    Your pool administrator is responsible for the rules and settings of your pool. Please contact them with your question/comment.

    I sent a message and an email to both listed, but that was 16 hours ago and have yet to receive a response. Thanks in advance for your help. Good luck everyone!

    got an email this morning and wasn't on ur end at all

    seems i I was logging for in under my username, which isn't the right username. So that's why it was saying duplicate account and I had no pools in my account before. Thanks for the help but I am good to go now. Problem was on my end of course

    Thank u guys!

    any mods around?

    Pool Reset Required

    The pool you are attempting to log in to has not yet been reset for this season. In order to access the site under this account, your administrator will need to reset it before anyone can join or log in.

    Please contact your pool administrator to make sure you are logging into the correct pool.

    thats message i'm getting

    I think you may have played in a previous year and are accessing a contest that doesn't exist. Sign up for Runyourpool again to bypass this and re-enter the bracket using the below:


    Go to Bracket Site
    enter Pool ID 39768| password sbr515
