$1,000 CBT Tournament Brackets Game 2026
$1,000 just for you!! Well, assuming you win.
Got it, Dave. So how do I play?
​
First you kindly donate $25 or more (all tax deductible) via the box below if you are using a phone. If you are using a computer the donor box should be on your right. And then you gain access CBT's bracket game.
​
Note: Your donations will appear on your credit card bill as made to "The Charitable Corporation of College Basketball Writers."
​
Do I have to donate in order to play?
​
You absolutely have to donate at least $25 in order to play and avoid being a cheap bastard. If you are amongst those don't mind being a cheap bastard then you can technically and unfortunately play without donating.
​
Ok what's next?
​
We are using Yahoo's bracket site. The winner of the $1000 will be the person with the most points in our bracket game for the men's tournament. If there is a tie, that $1000 will be split accordingly.
​
How do I get to the Yahoo site, Dave?
​
Once you donate, the password and Group Id # will immedatiely appear in a "Thank You note" and they will be emailed to you too.
Or you can send an email to CBT's Board of Advisors Chairman, Mike Hurley at MikeHurley70@yahoo.com stating you are a cheap bastard and don't want to donate a mere $25, but you'd still like to play. Mike will then shoot you over the passwords & group id #s. Passwords obtained any other way will lead to entry disqualifcation. (So don't give your passwords to others.)
