Join my 9th annual March Madness bracket challenge. Last year's winner was a lucky goon who received a box full of beers hand-picked based on their own personal tastes.

I won last year and Drunk Nerds sent me a variety of awesome beers! Dude is legit. Thanks for setting this up again -- it's my favorite time of year.

My wife is trying to pick these in reverse alphabetical order based on mascot, but she keeps getting gridlocked with "Wildcats vs. Wildcats"

I look forward to calling 1 game right and hanging my hat on that for years (and ignoring everything else in the bracket).

I hate this year's tournament structure; I can't get away from playing it safe no matter how many brackets I make.

Next year I'm going to find a site that awards points based on the seed number of the winners

Jeez, is it that easy? Consider it done, thanks.

I would've figured that out this year, but I had a family death take up all my resources.

yahoo has two different alternate settings, upset bonus and seed difference multiplier

maybe that's not entirely what you're going for but it's pretty close I think

also my condolences :(

Yeah that sounds close enough.

Thanks, Jamey Eisenberg, Dave Richard, and Adam Aizer each tweeted out my dad's obituary (I framed it as a fantasy football advice column). That brought me some sweet closure.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
I started to get pretty good at this in recent years, usually because I start at the bottom of the first round of NBA draft scouting and move up, and the advantage to seeing these teams play is huge.

But the scouting is so dire this year that I had to move up to the top for a bit just to stay motivated to finish so I don't actually know anything about most of the field.

This is really dumb but it's bugging me because I know I've done it in the past. I want the bracket to actually fit to the page when I print it. There's like 1.75 inches of blank space on the left side of the page and the same on the right. How do I stretch that? Widening the margins in chrome don't do anything unless I'm doing it wrong. If you press "Print Bracket" on ESPN you'll see what I mean.

It's amazing what they can do with computers these days.

I’m perfect so far but I picked Seton Hall over Wofford for some reason and that seems like a bad pick. We’ll see how that turns out.

I just came in here to ask who you were and congratulate you. Starting 12-for-12 is rare.

Is there any way to see teams in this league that aren't in the top 50? The TC app won't let me scroll past 50, and the espn site just kicks me out to the general fantasy page when I click on our group (wtf?)

drat that PG, Murphy, on Wofford has some sick ball control. Plus MaGee is about to set the career 3-pt record.

I love this tournament because I never, ever would've watched "Wofford" but they are super fun.

89 has Auburn to win it all. If Texas Tech and Auburn win this Saturday, he clinches.

if not, Bracket Busters wins if Virginia takes the title or both Virginia and TT win this weekend, and Dakota Rob wins if MSU takes it all.

I believe that's all the winning moves, please correct me if I'm wrong

So it's down to Brandon Clarke and Bracket Busters. Good luck! Are either of them here?

Can't believe Virginia could go from being the first #1 seed to lose in the first round to winning the whole tournament 1 year later.
