How does it work?
Just pick the winner for each game up to 20 minutes before it is scheduled to start. If you don't pick in time the computer will select the most picked team for you. So, instead of predicting the entire tournament before it happens you get to pick the winner of each game as it goes along.
Are there prizes?
Yes! You could win $100,000 if you pick all of the games correctly. You could win $10,000 if you only miss one or two games.
The top local player in the WRAL viewing area is guaranteed to walk away with $1,000, courtesy of Carolina Ford. There also will be Taco Bell gift packs for the round-by-round winners.
And, you could win $1,000 if you only miss three games. For more details (including how ties are broken) see our rules page.
Additionally, the national grand prize for the player with the highest score is a 16GB iPod Touch sponsored by Upickem and a Sapphire Series
College Watch sponsored by Game Time Shop.

When can I register and make my picks?
You can register at any time. The field of teams for the tournament won't be announced until Sunday, March 16. The contest will be open for picking soon after the field is announced.
Once you have registered, you can choose to receive e-mail reminders when each new round of picks is open.
If the tournament has already started can I still play?
Yes, you can sign up at any point during the tournament. Unlike other bracket contests, points and prizes are awarded on a round-by-round basis.
Can I play with a "private group" of friends and family?
Yes. After you register and log in, just click on "My Private Groups" which will appear in the upper-left hand corner of the page. After that page loads, click on "Create a Private Group" and follow the instructions.
