Sixth Annual PH4H NCAA Tournament Pick-'em

The PH4H Tournament pool is back for the sixth straight year!

To make things random and exciting (allegedly), it utilizes a scoring system that uses a point multiplier based on seeding, which (allegedly) encourages participants to pick upsets. (We also encourage making picks based on loyalty to schools, or because you happen to like their mascot.)

And, in our inimitable fashion, the winners are the people with the highest and lowest scores (i.e., even if your picks stink, the only way you're not in the running is if you don't play).

So, if you played before, all you need to do is log in with the username and password you used before, and you should automatically be back in the user group. Then just make your picks before the tournament begins (for real, none of this "First Four" b.s.) on Thursday.

If you haven't played before, or if you want to invite others, go ahead. Just go to the league's website (http://ph4h.mayhem.sportsline.com), and enter the password "reverse."

Good luck!
