Let me pick a team in any game the could be in, then backfill
I think most people do brackets backwards ... I know who I think is going to win so that should be the first thing I pick, then you can automatically fill that in to the higher rounds. Just meaning, Duke can't win it all without winning in the Round-of-64, the Round-of-32, the Sweet-16, the Elite-8, and the Final-4 ... let me pick Duke to win it then you fill in the other five games.
This might not be handy everywhere, but if you pick the winner and then the other three teams in the Final-4 that would be four clicks…

Add Option for Custom Scoring for Upsets
I've been using CBS Sports for years, but I want to switch over to Yahoo! for March Madness, as I have all my Football Fantasy leagues.
I've been trying to perfect the scoring inbalance, and I feel put together a competitive way to incentivize upsets without it being too overbearing. I would love Yahoo! to offer customization for upset scoring. Here's what I've come up with:
STANDARD SCORING:
First Four = 1 point (I put out Google Form survey to collect people's responses)
First Round = 1 point
Second Round = 2 points
Sweet Sixteen = 4 points
Elite Eight…Hi Justin,
There is an option for Upset Pick points that a commissioner can use.
Multipliers and Bonus Points
- No bonus points - Everyone's picks stand on their own.
- Upset Pick - A flat bonus amount is awarded for correctly picking upsets, and commissioners can change the bonus value on a round-by-round basis.
- Seed Difference - Point multipliers give ‘big upsets’ more value based on the difference in seeds and the round. For example, if you correctly pick a 10-seed to beat a 6-seed in the round of 32 (which has a hypothetical round multiplier of 3), you'd be awarded 12 bonus points [(10 - 6) * 3 = 12].
Thanks,

The most important thing
My bracket, score, and ranking are no longer visible in the app. Even though the tournament is over, these should remain easily accessible.
Thank you for reaching out about your bracket/score/ranking not appearing in the app. This information should still be available in the app by following these steps:
- From the Fantasy Home screen, navigate to the ALL or BASKETBALL tab.
- Scroll down to the MORE WAYS TO PLAY card and tap Play next to the Men's or Women's Bracket Mayhem option.
- From the Bracket Mayhem home screen, you should see your bracket and you can tap on it to access it.

Show me my path to win in my Bracket Mayhem group
Hi! Apologies if this is a dupe but I got an error last time I tried to submit this and it's unclear where I can check prior posts (two more pieces of feedback there).
I want Yahoo to tell me (and the rest of my group) my path to winning my bracket. Right now, there's a first place person with Florida winning it all. There are a bunch of other people in the group who could win it, but think they are out of it given their current point total. But they all have different people winning it and I…
Thank you for your feedback regarding showing your path to winning in your Bracket Mayhem group. There is the scenario generator tool that can be found along the top on the Bracket Mayhem homepage. This allows you to fill out the bracket for future games and see what the standings would be in your group. While it does not specifically tell you what your path to winning is, you can pick different combinations of winners for future games to see if you would win or not. We appreciate your feedback regarding this and we will pass it along to our team!

Be able to see all participants email addresses
As the commissioner, I should be able to see all participants email addresses. Would make things a lotttt easier
Thank you for reaching out regarding wanting to be able to see the email addresses for all participants in your Bracket Mayhem group. Email addresses will show if a group is a private group as long as a participant has not hidden their email address themself. They will not show in public groups. The group type can be changed to private by the commissioner under the "Group Settings" tab.

Scoring -- Manual/Custom Bonus Points Option
I've been using CBS for my online bracket pool for well over a decade. I love the updates Yahoo is making and with the customatizon for scoring. However, can Yahoo create a custom option I can manually add in? Here's the scoring system I've used for Bonus Points for the first two rounds:
Bonus points will be applied in addition to Default Scoring for the First Two Rounds only:
Round of 64:
(10) beats (7) = +1 point
(11) beats (6) = +2 points
(12) beats (5) = +3 points
(13) beats (4) = +4 points
(14) beats (3) =…Hello,

Allow me to remove my own bracket from a group
Why is it that only the commissoner can remove brackets from a group? I should be able to remove my own bracket from a group. For example, I accidentally entered a bracket I had created for a different scoring system into the wrong group and now I cannot remove it from that group. Please allow me to remove my own bracket from a group before the tourney starts.

You show that I filled out 3 brackets but 2 of them have no picks. The one that has picks was not used as an entry. Fix this.
Have some checks that won’t allow an incomplete bracket to be entered without a warning. Especially check for empty brackets.

Show Groups that offer prizes, or offer paid entrees.
It's hard to sort through all of the groups to join. It would be nice to filter for ones that offer prizes, or offer paid entrees.

Renew league from last year, keep last year's members so it is easier to re-invite everyone.
In most/all other Yahoo fantasy sports you can renew your league from last year and re-invite everyone. For March Madness, as soon as you renew your league, the members are erased, so I can't just click all to re-invite everyone from last year.
