Okay, I've set up the pool on Yahoo!
This hyperlink should direct you to the Yahoo! Tournament home page.
Group ID#: 44941
The group name is: Soonerfans.com Hoops Challenge
The password is: skeeter (all lower case)
The max number of brackets you can submit is 2 per person
Obviously there are no teams at this time to 'pick'. But, I suggest everyone go and set up a bracket now...just in case I screwed something up, it'll give me time to correct it.
Have fun and good luck!

yahoo sports might still be free. it's what fooseball used for their season and bowl pick ems, I think.
i think they cap groups at 50, but seeing how this board has less than 50 regulars, that might work out well.
In any event, IN! (to win)
You suckas are goin' down.

Ok, I just went through and searched all ~3000 groups (by text search on 60 pages for "soonerfans") and did not find this group.
1. Are you sure you've created it?
2. We're talking Yahoo right? (That's where your link goes.)
3. Did you make sure it was associated with OU? It would have a 'OU' iconbeside it. In which case, you can sort by school from the pull-down and it would come up in that list.
4. If it exists, could you post some link that goes straight to it?
There is one called soonerfans, currently with only one member. We could take over that one.
The OU Yahoo group with the most number of players is called #1. Texas fans have two of the top 5 groups in terms of players, while a Missouri group is the top overall so far. Join a soonerfan group but also do a bracket in #1 to try and swell the numbers of that one.
I just messaged 8time about the missing group ID number
In the meantime, here is your practice bracket - the Big 12 men's tourney. I'm sorry in advance at how much this bracket sucksI just doodled it together quickly in hopes that someone out there can find (or create) a better one.
Sorry all, here is all the information:
Group ID# 44941
Name: Soonerfans.com Hoops Challenge (that's the entire title)
Password: Skeeter
This is the first time I've used Yahoo. I made the group private (with Skeeter as the password), and associated it with OU....you should see my user name "8timechamps").
Try that and let me know.
It worked! However, the password might need to be all lower-case, so try "skeeter" instead of "Skeeter" when you register.
who is skeeter by the way?
okay i'm in
Practice round - Big 12 men's bracket:
If you're gonna practice, get it in today, because the men start tomorrow!
HARUMPH!
In.
For some reason, I'm getting a bad password error.... Hmmmm....
EDIT: Ok, Lowercase 'skeeter' worked.
in
He's coming for you
we can start filling the bracket out on sunday ...?
Yeah. If Yahoo! is like CBS, the brackets will be available for completion within an hour of the teams being released.
