ITS THAT TIME OF YEAR!!

The Seventh Annual Bracket Challenge is upon us. This has been affectionately known also as "Win Loca's Money" lol. I will have a modest 10-dollar cash prize up as normal. It will be paid by a gift card. I don’t make it too extravagant because this is supposed to be for fun and I didn’t take you slackers to raise. I still have rules and they will be adhered to. If you don’t make your bracket name your board name, I will comment one time that you need to change it to your board name. If come the Thursday of the tournament and you haven’t changed it then I will remove it. There are rules for a reason. This is for fun strictly and that is all. You don’t want to participate then you are not hurting my feelings. I have removed people last time, so I don’t play with my rules. Also, if you don’t want the 10 bucks then I won't beg you to take my money.

That said if I garner enough interest in making a challenge with a buy in, I can support that, but I will need actual interest in that one, so you guys let me know. As normal I am not on the Pay board so by all means share this with those that might not come over to the peasant side of the board. lol

Rules: (These are strictly adhered to)

1. You are only allowed one bracket entry.
2. Your bracket name must be your handle on ITS. IF I cannot find the (@Name) then your bracket is ineligible.
3. I will lock entries at 10 am on the first day of the round of 64.


This is a private group for board members.

The Group Name is Hurricane Alley 2026

The password is TulsaWins2026 and yes it is case sensitive

My interest in college sports has declined so badly I have absolutely no idea who is in the tournament, nor do I care. Doubt I will watch any of it.

I’m always surprised when I get to the champion because i just look at each game individually. This time I ended up picking Arizona.

After day 1

Here is the Standings after the first day. Some rose to the occasion, and some let their dog make their picks. lol. IF you see an (NE) next to a name that means that they are not eligible to win anything as that is not their board name. You get bragging rights but that is it. Rules are the Rules.

We have been consistently over 20 entries for the couple of years and I really do appreciate your participation.

The first two games today, Santa Clara vs Kentucky and Akron vs Tech, are both games I thought could be upsets. I picked the underdog in one and the favorite in the other, early on it looks like I should have switched my picks.
