How To Play:

- Once registered (see above), visit http://www.collegehoopsnet.com/pickem or http://www.collegehoopsnet.com/midmajor and go to the MyPicks link to make your picks. It's that simple.

- You don't have to pick all games at once. You can pick 3 today, and the rest tomorrow. Or pick all 12 today and edit them before game time.

Rules:

- CHN Weekly Pickem is set up to be as simple as possible. Just pick games straight up and get points for each win. No gimmicks. No cost.

- Points are compiled weekly, and then each week's total is aggregated as the season continues. If you miss a week, don't worry, you can always return later.

- All games must be picked by the starting time of the week's initial game. Usually, the week's initial game will by Thursday evening. This means Monday through Wednesday can be used to make your picks. Once picks are set, you can change up until the moment of the initial weekly tip-off.

Don't Forget:

- Bookmark http://www.collegehoopsnet.com/pickem/1 & http://www.collegehoopsnet.com/midmajor/1 and return each week.

- Check out CHN's daily GameNight previews to help with your picks.

- Once the week starts, you can't change your picks!
