Don't know if there was ever a Rupp Rafters only bracket contest...not sure if it violates TOS to do so.

Assuming it's not....would anyone be interested? I'm not talking about creating a group like on ESPN but a RR member only contest on it's own dedicated URL.

I'd be interested for sure. We would all have the same National Champion lol

I'm interested. Everyone on here (well most everyone, we have a few trolls posing as UK fans) will be picking UK to win it all so it will make it interesting to see who does well on picking the rest of the NCAA Tourney. I still say this season chalk is the way to go for Elite 8's and Final Four for the most part.

That was sort of my thinking...we'll all have UK (i'd hope) so by having our own bracket challenge, it would be about the rest of the field.

It would be for fun unless some people step up and offer to donate prizes on their own.

There is no registration page...I want only RR members, same screen names and only one bracket ea so I'll have to key in users manually...

For ease...post screen name and email thus:

The system will send you a password to login

the bracket are empty but as soon as the selection show is finished...it will populate. You can edit your bracket up to tip off of first game.

note: I built this whole thing in about 4 hours so be kind with the design critique...I'm mostly interested in function.

If anyone wants to assist with signups...I have set aside two slots, all I can offer for the aggravation is you'll get your name and avatar on the front page.

I'll have to add you as admin so I'd prefer someone that's somewhat tech savvy and skype would be great as well.

Seemed appropriate...like I said, I threw it together in about 4 hours....that's a pretty fast paste for a custom website.
