March is really madness month and for some lucky betters, I mean speculator, it could mean a million bucks. Yahoo! Sports is giving college basketball fans a triple-double of madness with mobile access to brackets, millions in prize money,
up-to-the minute college basketball news, and easy search tools.
Yahoo!
Sports is offering $1 million for the perfect bracket and other prizes
for top performers. This year, Yahoo! is allowing fans unprecedented
mobile access during the Big Dance to keep them at the top of their
game. The site will also offer up-to-the-minute news from the games.
Yahoo!'s college basketball offerings give fans millions reasons to 'go
a little mad.'
You have to complete your brackets before registration closes at tip off of the first game of Round 1 on Thursday, March 19.
This season, Yahoo! is launching a dedicated mobile tournament Web
site (http://m.yahoo.com/ncaa) allowing fans to follow all of the
action and their favorite teams from the convenience of their
Internet-enabled mobile phone. For the first time, Yahoo! allows users
to track their brackets via mobile devices as well as the progress of
others in their group. Fans also have access to up-to-the minute
scores, news, schedules, pictures and expert commentary while on-the-go.
Yahoo! is giving bracket participants millions of reasons to 'go
mad,' with rewards of all sizes. Fans have a chance to win $1 million
for the perfect bracket, and even if no one makes it to the peak, the
eligible fan with the best bracket will take home $10,000. Yahoo!
Sports' 2nd Chance game sets fans up to redeem themselves if their
bracket is "busted." The game gives users a chance to begin the madness
again with a new bracket after the Second Round of games is complete.
The eligible fan with the best bracket in the 2nd Chance game will win
$5,000 - guaranteed. And, for the second consecutive year, KFC is the
official Tourney Pick'em sponsor. KFC is giving fans the ability to use
their printable brackets for discounts on 30 hot wings at KFC
restaurants. Fans can start the countdown to all the action with the
Verizon FiOS countdown clock on Yahoo! Sports.
Basketball analysts Greg Anthony, Jason King and crew are positioned
to keep the madness going with all the news that basketball junkies
need, and fans can catch up on all the dish at "The Dagger," Yahoo!
Sports' NCAAB blog.
Fans can also go to Yahoo! and search for all things related to the
tournament and find timely answers. Yahoo! Search will feature a
specific Yahoo! Shortcut to help fans conveniently find the schedule of
events, scores, brackets and much more -- right at the top of the
search page.
Fans can go mad trying to create the winning bracket at

until the first tip-off on March 19. Tournament Pick 'em '09 is a free
game for fans.
