In keeping with the tradition started by Kz'set in 2013, carried on by me in 2014, and furthered by Zednich in 2015, here is this year's DJB March Madness tournament!

Details

This will be a NCAA March Madness tournament. If you're unfamiliar, it's quite easy - 64 teams (well, 68 if you count the play-ins) from the US college basketball leagues play in a single-knockout tournament across multiple weekends in March and April. The 64 teams are divided into 4 regions, where they are seeded 1-16.

Points are awarded on an escalating scale for each correct answer: 1pt for first round, 2 pts for second round, 4 for third, 8 for fourth, and so on.

If you don't follow NCAA basketball, don't worry! Even the experts are wrong most of the time, so you can make your picks however you want - coin flip, alphabetical, seeds, which mascot could beat the other in a fight, etc...

Your entire bracket MUST be submitted prior to the first game on March 17, 2016 (don't worry about the play-in games (aka "The First Four"), the site accounts for them without penalizing you).

The seeds are set on March 13, so you have a short window to submit, but it only takes a couple minutes and from there, just sit back and enjoy!

Invite address and password for the league is revealed once you subscribe to the competition. Create an account and enjoy! The account process is quick and easy, so don't let that be a barrier to your participation - based on participation in years past, you have a chance at 1st-tier Crescents based on potential upgrades.
