Ok it's that time of year, and since Brickhouse can't run it this year I volunteered.

Please read the rules below prior to registration. All questions can be posted on this thread or asked via PM.

RULES

1) You must be a member of Cigar Pass prior to the date of this post
2) As has been the case in past years, the wager per bracket is 3 cigars with an MSRP of at least $8.00 consideration will be given for cigars that may be difficult to find at MSRP.
3) You may submit up to 5 brackets as long as you pay the 3 cigar per bracket entry fee.
4) There will be 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place prizes. I will determine the distribution breakdown based on the number of entrants.
5) Upon registration, post your yahoo ID and if you have a MSRP question on proposed wager cigars, make it at that time.
6) Your wager cigars must be mailed to me and postmarked no later than March 18.


SCORING

Scoring will be the basic progressive scoring system.

1st round: 1 Point
2nd round: 2 Points
3rd round: 4 points
Regional Finals: 8 Points
Final Four: 16 Points
Championship: 32 Points

No upset or seed bonuses.

Tie-breaker will be championship total points.

REGISTRATION INFORMATION

We will be running this on Yahoo! Fantasy Sports Tourney Pick 'Em.

For all of the following steps, you need to be logged in to Yahoo, so if you don't already have a Yahoo account, you will need to create one.

To Register, go to Yahoo Sports, click Fantasy, then Click Tourney Pick 'Em.

When the main page for Tourney Pick 'Em comes up, click Join Group.

On the page that opens up, click Join Group again underneath accept an invitation.

On the following page, enter our group ID# and Password. Our ID and password is:

ID#: 34817
Password: fuente

Click save and continue, and you will be ready to create an entry.

The "create a new entry" bubble should already be filled in, and under bracket name, using your CP handle would be the easiest way to make this flow easily. Accept the TOS and click submit, and you will be ready to make your selections. (Once the field is set, naturally)

Count me in - I will ship the sticks on Monday. Thanks for handling.


Sticks - (2) Anejo 48
(1) WOAM

Edit to add sticks
 
IMO, too many points are being awarded for the Final 4 and championship games. Last year's structure was more reasonable.

First round 1 point
Second round 2 points
Regional semifinal 4 points
Regional finals 8 points
National semifinals 12 points
Championship 16 points

We can look at restructuring the point system if that's what most of the players want to do.

Someone PM'd me and alerted me that there are some login issues, and wanted to see if anyone else was having a hard time with the group ID/Password. I used a dummy Yahoo ID and had similar problems. If anyone registers after this without any issues LMK, if people continue to have the same issues I'll either switch to ESPN when they make groups available or do what I can to work with Yahoo to get the issue resolved. Sorry for the hassle guys and I'll post more info when I have it.

Edit: I just managed to put a dummy entry in on a new account. Not really sure what happened, but I went and re-saved our group settings and everything worked smoothly. Keep me posted if we have any more problems.
 
I'm in. I did have a problem registering when I capitalized 'Fuente', but 'fuente' worked just fine.

My wager for one bracket:

My Father Lancero
Anejo 50
Graycliff Red Elegante


Thanks for setting this up.
 
I am in now the fuente can't be capitilized. thanks for the help my yahoo id is Drunkfish3 will post sticks later.
 
Come on - Lets get some more sign-ups.

As for the points per round, whatever you guys decide is fine by me.

We all know PITT is going to win. :sign:
