Once again... it is time for the madness. 
This is our sixth year, and the only questions on my mind going into it are: Will Illinois be nice and let someone beat them, and will Adam Smith & H Tower be nice and let someone else win this year? My answers in order:
- I sure hope not. (Unless it's one of my other favorite teams.)
- They better!
Anyways, we are once again at CBS Sportsline and you can access the pool's website at:
You must be on the player roster in order to access the pool website. If you did not participate in the pool last year, send me a PM with your name and your e-mail address (it must be an actual working e-mail address) and I will send you an invitation.
Important note: If you participated in one of the last two years, you do not need to sign up again. Simply go to CBS Sportsline, log into your account, and then either cut-and-paste the above URL or select "Lombardi Handicappers' Madness!" from the Fantasy tab.
Obviously, at this time the brackets are not available, and will not be until the NCAA selection committee announces them on Sunday night, March 13th. I still recommend getting yourself in the pool ASAP, as I do have midterms coming up and CBS' servers tend to get busy in the aftermath of the brackets being announced.
The scoring rules are the same as always. All games except the play-in game must be picked prior to the start of the tournament, and correct picks are scored on the following scale:
Off we go - onwards towards perfection!
