Introduction Compact
March Madness is here again. This year's challenge for Silicon Investor members will be on the CBS Sportsline site ($10,000,000 top prize vs. $10,000 for ESPN). Registration ends at 11:00 AM ET on March 15, 2001.

1. If you don't have a Sportsline ID and password, create one here:
ww1.sportsline.com

Important Note: If you wish to remain totally anonymous, you should either register using an anonymous e-mail account, or, after step 4, click on "Options" then "Personal" to control what information about you gets revealed to others in the pool.

2. Once you have a Sportsline ID and password, enter the pool here:
basketball28.commissioner.com

3. Group Name: Siliconinvestor.com

4. Password: si (case sensitive)

Scoring will be 1 point for the first round, 2 for the second, 4 for the third (Sweet 16), 8 for fourth (Elite 8), 16 for the fifth (Final 4), and 32 for the championship game. For example, in round three if you correctly choose a 9 seed to beat a 3 seed then you get 4 points (for a round three winner) + 9 points (for the seed) = 13 total points.

5. If you use a name different from your SI ID, please indicate here which person is you.

BTW, the odds of guessing all 63 games correctly is 1 in 9.25 quintillion!

Good luck!
