The NCAA tournament, one of the most fun sports events of the year, has been canceled. I love March Madness and Selection Sunday and still wanted to participate in a bracket pool somehow, and also donate to charity. It's also something fun to do while we socially distance ourselves and all that.
So here's how it works: I'll put the last ESPN Bracketology into my College Hoops 2k8 game for the Xbox 360, then simulate the results.
To participate, send me $5 via Paypal or Venmo (awiseman at gmail) and I will donate it all to Meals on Wheels. (Or you can donate yourself, just let me know you did so.)
Then take the bracket linked below, duplicate the Copyable Bracket sheet (click the little triangle), add your name and make your picks. The colors are to help show which region is which. I posted an example on the second sheet.
The deadline to fill it out will be Tuesday, March 17 at noon ET. Then I'll start simulating the games and update you all with the results. Similar to the NCAAs it'll be half the games the first day, half the games the second day, etc. You don't need to pick who wins the play-in games (where there are two teams in one spot.)
