Official rules for the 2017 - 34th annual netnews NCAA tourney contest

There are ** TWO ** ways to enter this year.

Method 1: Go to:
http://netnews29.mayhem.cbssports.com
and enter your picks. (Yeah, it's an old-sounding URL, but the bracket
is for this year.)

Password: usenet

Method 2: Send me ALL your bracket selections before any of the
non-play-in games begin. A pairing bracket is available at:

http://www.gfphoto-web.com/br3.txt

either fill it out completely, or send me the winning team names for
each round. (Please use the same name strings I used in that bracket.)

My email is: gfphoto at gfphoto-web.com

First round picks are worth one point, second round picks are worth
two points, etc. Picking the NCAA champ correctly in the sixth round is worth 6 points. I will post score updated periodically throughout
the tournament.

81 - Greg Flint - my first win in 10 or 15 years
72 - Jennifer Bieneke
68 - Barack Obama - since he makes them available
