apologies all....there seems to be a problem with the link. Thanks for bringing it to my attention, Jerry!
some bs about texting confirmation and then of course receiving a bunch of crap mail.... I have now sent invites to all those that i have e-mails for. (save Chuck and Chin who manged it) If you haven't received an invite and want to play a bracket in the group...drop me your e-mail address and i will send an invite out. It seems to circumvent that cell phone crap. matchups out on the 16th and small window to get picks in...so being ready doesn't hurt

I have tried directly from your link and they still want the cell phone crap.

I don't know what to say or do!...sorry!
somehow i managed getting in without giving up cell phone stuff. Hunny tried the normal way by typing in the pool# and pass on the register page and she was directed to the call phone thingy. So I sent her an invite with all the others and she got the same crap...so I let her use my cell# where they texted her a confirmation #. Only two have signed up since e-mails were sent so I think there is still a problem. I'm thinking there is no way past the cell page part (maybe I didn't get it because I started the pool??) because of confirmation bs. I didn't even read the billion(?) dollar contest because Canadians aren't included. However, I am very sure its because of that sponsor that entrants must give up a gateway for their propaganda...er, advertisements.

Use this for the JCFL this year and also experiment (just for fun this year) with a non-Yahoo site with brackets.

It seems we are not alone in having Yahoo difficulties.
There are numerous complaints on the feedback page. This is Yahoo's new policy. I have read (and know of greengaels) that Canadian phone numbers aren't even being accepted. **somehow my Canadian number did work for Hunny confirmation...I never actually got the page myself....likely because I started the pool. So...a new policy from them should come with a new policy from us! It is obviously a way for them to get their ads to our eyes by going around e-mail firewalls and spam catchers. With all that said...we are set for baseball, have nascar and golf underway for the year. March Madness will obviously be a mystery for the next week.... Orren...you have mail

Everyone could always print out a bracket, make their picks and e-mail it to me. I would post results/standings after each day of games.
Just a thought. Chuck

Thanks for offering, but somewhat of a pain in my opinion.

and now you've got mail
there'd never be an issue with you guys utilizing a comp here, and no issue with trying a new scoring system....just a minor one in adjusting 'on the fly'

I did just think of something, tho....the scoring mentioned is based on making all picks for the entire tournament before the tournament starts.......so would that still be a logical system when you can pick each round separately? And IS the fact our Pick'em requires making picks daily rather than all at once a problem...especially for those JFCL members who've not been active on JS?
