March Madness via Internet

CBS is allowing free internet viewing of the first 56 games of the NCAA Men's Tournament. The games on "home markets" will be blacked out, but the other games will be available on cbssportsline.com, cstv.com and ncaasports.com.

To manage the expected surge of users, especially on the first two days of the tournament, the system will create a cyberwaiting-room that will clear out only when other fans have logged off. Users will be asked every 30 minutes if they are still watching, and if they don't respond affirmatively within five minutes, their connections will be terminated.
