IheartPGH Bracket Challenge – You Still Have Time to Enter

It’s basketball time again!  In years past we have put together a IheartPGH Bracket Group.  By popular request, we are using Yahoo’s bracket manager again this year.

You still have time to submit your bracket!  Here are the details from Yahoo:

  • The First Four games are not counted in Tourney Pick’em.
  • Deadline to submit your bracket is 12:15pm EDT on Thursday, March 21.
  • Click-to-advance, or drag-and-drop a team name to advance that team.
  • Be sure to select a champion and enter your tie breaker prediction.

We’ll be tweeting about this during March Madness with the hashtag #PghMadness.  If you are on Twitter you might want to add your twitter name to the name of your bracket.

Are you a Pittsburgh Blogger?

Some of the Pittsburgh Bloggers are participating in a bracket challenge – the rest of the group has agreed to write a blog post about the winner’s favorite Pittsburgh nonprofit organization.  If you are willing to write a blog post at the end of the tournament – join the Pittsburgh Blogger’s Bracket Challenge.

IheartPGH March Madness Bracket Challenge

If you would like to compete against fellow IheartPGH readers and basketball lovers – please enter your bracket in to the 2012 IheartPGH bracket challenge.  We moved over to Yahoo sports this year – the Yahoo site seems to be much easier to use.
