Welcome to Boston.com's Men's College Basketball Bracket Challenge! (Pick your bracket round by round)

How does it work?

Just pick the winner for each game up to 20 minutes before it is scheduled to start. If you don't pick in time the computer will select the most picked team for you. So, instead of predicting the entire tournament before it happens you get to pick the winner of each game as it goes along.

Are there prizes?

Yes! You could win $100,000* if you pick all of the games correctly. You could win $10,000* if you only miss one or two games. You could win $1,000* if you only miss three games. And if you have the most accurate bracket among Boston.com users, you win an iPod Shuffle! For more details (including how ties are broken) see our rules page. Additionally, the national grand prize for the player with the highest score is a 16GB iPod Touch sponsored by Upickem and a Sapphire Series College Watch sponsored by Game Time Shop. See all prizes.

If the tournament has already started can I still play?

Yes, you can sign up at any point during the tournament.

Can I play with a "private group" of friends and family?

Yes. After you register and log in, just click on "My Private Groups" which will appear in the upper-left hand corner of the page. After that page loads, click on "Create a Private Group" and follow the instructions.
