    I have renewed last year's Tourney Pick'em which was never played. Those of you who registered should receive an email invite from me to register for this year. This is a private group, Skyboxers ID#2302. password is DB58

    If you do not receive an invite you can register online via Yahoo Fantasy Sports.

    When I checked this morning the invites were pending? I resent them and now it appears most all of you will receive two invites. Sorry for the confusion, but you can only enter the contest once.:)

    Yahoo apparently is utilizing the email used to register in former contests. Any change in those emails means no invite. Might be wise to do what Terry did and go to the site to register.

    Don, you are correct. Almost to a person, the Yahoo emails my groups' participants used to join are not their primary emails. In my case, I have the primary emails of family and friends, so I use those to notify them of their automatic renewal. In your case, you have this board topic on which you can broadcast the renewal. It all works out.

    Got way to much going on with the last 8 work days before retirement and dealing with idiot house purchasers. Our first offer was an all cash offer that the guy pulled out because "He couldn't show a paper trail for whence the money came." He lost his option money but I lost precious time.

    The seller of the house on which we have a contract will not suffer delays and we need a ratified contract or we will lose that house.

    When is selection Sunday?

    One thing for sure is if a team gets shutdown for a couple of weeks due to Covid at this point they are pretty much done for the year.

    Also I noted that if a team gets covid issues and can't participate in the round 1 game there will not be any substitutions, the healthy opponent just moves on to the 2nd round. I guess if both teams in a 1st round matchup can't play then the team in the other bracket the winner was supposed to play gets a pass to the Sweet 16. I guess it's theoretically possible to have a Final 3 or Final 2 instead of a Final 4 if Covid knocks out enough teams

    I'm in. Rotag247. That's Gator spelled backward.

    I may try to change my name later but not today. Actually I have used that the last few years.

    Update... as said by several, it all worked out... We have a ratified contract. The inspection happens tomorrow. The contract specifies closing on 30-March but allows us a lease back option... You are probably not going to believe this but the buyer agreed to a $200 deposit and $1 (1 dollar, 100 pennies) per day of occupancy in the lease back option until the end of May.

    The next part is that the timing has been relaxed. The seller of the house in South Carolina has given up on finding a suitable abode in Athens, Georgia where they are moving and decided to buy a parcel and have a house built. The have an estimated completion date of the 1st of July. They are allowing us to change our closing date to 28-June or earlier if we so need. We will be leaving Texas on 1-June headed to South Carolina and plan to close on 4-June.

    The only thing now is for there to be no hiccups between now and 30-March.
