- Register for ESPN\'s Men\'s Tournament Challenge
HERE (you will have to register with ESPN first, if not already registered).

*Payments being mailed via snail mail will be allowed to access the group. PAYMENTS VIA SNAIL MAIL MUST BE POSTMARKED NO LATER THAN WEDNESDAY MARCH 8, 2006. ENVELOPES NOT POSTMARKED BY THIS DATE WILL VOID YOUR ENTRY FOR THE AND YOUR PAYMENT WILL BE RETURNED, UNLESS PRIOR ARRANGEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE WITH ME.
- Entries will lock via ESPN at the start of the first tournament game on Thursday March 9, 2006. ESPN allows you FIVE entries. If you are paying for TWO entries, please only put those TWO as part of the group. If you fill out 5 on ESPN, the Group will lock at the start of the first game so you will not be able to switch in a different entry.
- Please note that your entries into our pool are also valid for ESPN\'s prizes! but remember, only your paid entries are allowed in the group for the .info pool\'s purpose, so choose wisely.
Any other questions, comments, or concerns feel free to contact me. I am not sure if there is chatter allowed via the ESPN group, but if there is please do not mention money, gambling, etc. on that page, keep all conversation on .info.
Note to Paul Ryan: I am not sure what ESPN\'s policy is for you since you are an employee. If you are interested in participating and are not allowed to create an entry(s), let me know and I\'ll figure something out. This also goes for anyone else who is employed by ESPN or their parent companies.
