How Does March Madness Bracket Work
Welcome to the 2021 men's basketball Tournament Challenge. It's that time of year again, when all the chatter about teams involves phrases like: body of work; good wins; bad losses; and of course, NET rankings and the dreaded 'bubble.' But once the bracket is revealed, how -- and even why -- teams got in matters little, and the excitement of following your bracket begins.
Select the teams you think will win each tournament game from the first round all the way through the championship game. You'll get points for each game you pick correctly, with the points increasing during each round of the tournament.
If you score the most points, you'll have a chance to win the grand prize: a trip for two to Hawaii for the 2021 Maui Jim Maui Invitational and a $10,000 Amazon.com gift card.*
It's that time of year again, when all the chatter about teams involves phrases like: body of work; good wins; bad losses; and of course, RPIs and the dreaded 'bubble.' But once the bracket is revealed, how - and even why - teams got in matters little, and the excitement of following your bracket begins. The bracket is broken up into the following 4 regions: South, West, East and Midwest. Each region has 16 teams that are seeded 1 through 16. The 1 seed is considered the best team in the region, while the 16 seed is the worst.

The March Madness bracket is the same each year in terms of where teams are placed based on seeding. The first four games will determine the final teams that fill out the traditional 64 team bracket. The 2021 March Madness Tournament will be the first time that the Selection Committee places teams on the bracket using an S-Curve. The increasing interest in this event is fostered by March Madness pools, or brackets. A bracket is a form that can be completed on-line or printed out and completed by hand whereby the participant predicts the outcome of each game in the tournament.
