2015 Bracketology

Over on the Everything But Woot section of the forums on Woot, I've been running a March Madness NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament bracket game for 8 years in a row, now (counting this year). I thought I'd post the link over here too and invite those of you who might not hang out around there to come join us. We play on the CBS Sports March Mayhem game. If you've played with us back in your Woot days, you might still be set to go. If not, join using this link: http://ebwoot.mayhem.cbssports.com/e?ttag=BPM15_paste_cbsinv
You'll also need our password: ebw
If you've never done a bracket game before or don't really follow basketball, don't let that stop you. You'll probably do about as well or better than those of us who put real effort into this. It's very simple to play, once the brackets are revealed on Sunday night, just go through and click on the team you think will win each game, and the game will automatically advance that team to the next round and create the new matchups as you work your way through. You can fill out two brackets, but they must be completed by Thursday, March 19 at 11AM EDT. After that it will be too late to join.
There's no cost to enter and there's also no prize, other than the joy of beating strangers on the internet at something that's ultimately pretty inconsequential (you may be eligible for some prizes from CBS Sports for playing on their game system, but that is separate from our game). The important thing is to have fun, and engage in some good-natured taunting of your opponents.
For more of a write-up and a list of previous winners, see the post I made on Woot.
