See “Step 3” for help on filling out your bracket in preparation for the big event.

Step 1 – Entering The Game

A valid ESPN username and password will be used as an identifier to login and to keep track of your entry’s score and standing. If you’ve had an ESPN account in the past but forgot it, here’s how to find your account information. After you have logged in, click on the CREATE ENTRY button on the frontpage to create your entry.

Step 2 – Naming Your Entry (Optional)

Before filling out your bracket give your entry some character and assign it a name. After you’ve clicked the “Create Entry” button, you will be forwarded to a screen that will ask you to name your entry. Once you have named your entry, you may choose to change your Email Reminders setting and then click on the “Submit Entry Settings” button. You will have the opportunity to change your entry name at any point during the game by clicking the “Edit Entry Settings” link on your entry page.

Entrants may change their selections as often as they like prior to the scheduled tip-off time of the first game in the second round of the tournament (currently scheduled for Thursday, March 19, 2015) after which all selections must be finalized.

You will be able to fill out your bracket in its entirety from a single page. Click the team name to advance the team to the next round. Once the bracket is complete, and you have submitted your tiebreaker score for the Championship match, the Submit button will change color (RED button) and you may submit your picks.

  • Notes:
  • You will have the option to edit your bracket(s) at any time after they have been initially submitted, before the lock time.
  • You cannot delete an entry/bracket once it has been created.
  • An e-mail reminder will be sent to all entrants who had joined the game before the brackets were released and those who have not submitted their selections.

Step 4 – Invite Your Friends

Invite Your Friends to play in a group with you or just to enjoy the fun of filling out a bracket (who doesn’t love filling out a bracket?). You may invite your friends to play all the way up until tip-off on Thursday, March 19, 2015. If your group is not “locked” you may invite friends to join your group at any time. If it is locked, they have until Thursday to join.

Step 5 – Join OUR Group ~Dancin In North DelaWHERE

You have the option to group yourself with friends, co-workers, or completely random fans by joining or creating a group. Within each group, your entry will be automatically ranked. Most of the groups are public and can be joined at anytime. The creator of a group sets the group’s name, motto and password. You can move your entry from one group to the next as long as it is before the first game of the tournament or if the group is not a Locked group. All of this is easily found in the Group Directory.
