I am having the same problem. Got one region in, but the next three could take all morning.

If this persists should we e-mail our picks to Reismark?

ps: I tried last night, but if you think this is slow, try doing it with a 28.8

Instead of clicking on "save picks and go to next region", click on the next region on the top or bottom of the brackets... that seems to be working for me... just keep trying.

I was just at the sight, and boy, is it slow! Adam, sending your picks to reis won't do any good since the CBS site is scoring the tourney. I've got a DSL connection and could put your picks in, but it would mean I would need your username and password and I'm not sure how comfortable you would be giving that out. You could always change your password right afterwards, but I wouldn't do anything with it anyway.

I kept getting the can't find site message when I tried to submit the final four picks... after MANY hitting the back buttom, and resubmitting... it finally took it. I was starting to get worried

These picks are from my heart instead of my head.
I have Illinois going against Duke in the final game...

Thank god there is no money on this one

Got spare money?

Thank god no money is involved in this one.
4-4 and three auto losers in the second round.

Fortunately in the money one that Ming and I are in, I WENT 8-0 woooohooooo
Ming went 6-2

In my other money league I went 6-2.

RAH
Figured I'd brag about that one 8-0 now since it's likely to be worse later.

Same here (in my money pool). Here I had them a Sweet 16'er.

Five wins, three losses (two of them Sweet 16'ers); all losses on the mid-range side of the bracket. So far, I'm perfect in the weak South and the ridiculously strong West.

I wonder how long Holy Cross can hold off Kansas... if they pulled an upset it would be DEVASTATING to some of you

Gonzaga is GONEzaga. You can't help but wonder if the NCAA tournament selection committee feels slightly vindicated. And that's gonna screw up a TON of brackets.

And USC is another potential heartbreaker...

So much for the Holy Cross upset bid...

I think it's safe to say USC is toast... meaning ANOTHER Final Four prospect dies in the first round.

All my losses have only stretched as far as the Sweet 16 so far... I still have a chance to win

I've lost Pepperdine from my Elite Eight, and Gonzaga and USC from my Sweet 16.

Believe it or not, that's a fantastic opening day for me. I'm normally atrocious when it comes to bracket-filling. This year, I'm merely pathetic.

Remember, you have to look at POTENTIAL. Take Imran for example. You might THINK he's doing well, but with Miami (Note to Imran: Told you so) and Gonzaga (Note to Imran: Warned you it was too risky to pick 'em all the way) gone, his West is dead before it even got out of the starting block.

I've lost USC, Gonzaga, Marquette, and Pepperdine, but only from my Sweet 16. There's still tons of potential lingering below the surface.

I am worried though... today, every upset that could happen did happen. What will tomorrow be like?
