OT - NCAA basketball pool

The NCAA basketball tournament announces the 2025 field this Sunday. I have created a GOAD bracket pool using the CBS Sports app and website. I know it is early, but I wanted to allow plenty of time for anyone who wants to participate to get signed-up, and time to fix anything that might be goofed-up.
The link below should take you to the pool. I am getting an error message from MFP about the link, so if it does not work, I can send invites by email. Write to me at philipmurch@yahoo.com if that happens.
You will need an ID and Password to CBS Sports. The pool name is GOAD. The pool password is goad. (creative, huh?)
Participants can complete one or two brackets once the field is announced, but I request that you sign-in prior to next week so we can work the bugs out, in case anything comes up.
The prize for the winner is bragging rights. Is everybody ready for March Madness?

So far Brian and I each have a 50/50 chance of winning the pool. Anyone else interested?

I was never into basketball.
Since I remarried after the loss of my wife never having children my step grand daughter plays for a high school so she is getting me into women's basketball. So still learning.

Jerdtmndone: The tournament can be very unpredictable. The bracket is seeded 1-16 in each of four regions, so you can tell who is supposedly the better team in each game. My wife has been known to pick teams based upon their name (works for the Kentucky Derby too). What I am getting to is that you could complete a bracket and have as much chance as anyone. Plus, it gives you a team to root for in all the early games on TV. Why not join in the fun?

Yep! Looking forward to winning the big pot in this high stakes game!

I don't suppose you will be picking Duke to win it all. 😁

Haha!! Not even if they were the only team playing. Although there was an incident this year that shook my confidence in thinking I could never root for them. Turns out I dislike Bill Belichick more than I dislike Duke. That's new info to me.

Brian, I had not thought of that. I'll do it today.

Brian - I see you on the pool. Glad you figured it out.
I sent an invite to the Facebook Goadies. Will there be a friendly competition between the two groups? I'm not going to start it, but if it develops……
