2026 Basketball Bracket Challenge
Updates will be posted
when the tournament starts.
Some of last year's results will be left on the site
until this year's tournament starts
to let you see what things will look like
as the tournament progresses.
To our returning players, WELCOME BACK! We are thrilled to see happy
customers
return to the scene of the crime. You should have an email from CBS Sports
letting you back into the pool.
NEW TO THIS POOL?
Let me welcome you and encourage you to join the party. We're always looking to grow the number of
players, and if you have $5.00 you are willing to part with, you're just the kind of person we are
looking for.
I think this year you can join the pool directly. Click the basketball button below.
Then use the passcode "bbcpool" (all lower case).
Please let me know if you have any problems with this
as CBS changes the procedure every year.
And I think CBS is going to let you invite new players. And I am going to allow that. I don't know what this will look like, but feel free to forward to family and friends.
The closes thing I have to an image is what I see as the pool director. It looks like the image below

YOU ARE LOOKING LIVE!
at the humble web site for the
Basketball Bracket Challenge
as we await the tipoff to the
2026 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament.
Come back to this site during the tournament for stats, standings
and the sort of tournament analysis you simply will not find anywhere else.

You know the squares game people play for the super bowl. You buy a square, and at the end of each quarter you take the last digit
of each teams score and map it against a grid to see who won. Now imagine doing that for all sixty three NCAA tournament
games. Every single game is a chance to win.
Entry Fee is $5 a square.
You can buy squares on the SQUARES page.

| AD BLOCKER |
Having trouble with the Ad Blocker on CBS Sports. You can dismiss it by clicking
on "I'll Fix It Next Time". But CBS does keep track of how may times you use
that. If you lose that option, clear your cookies to reset it.
They are not the first site I've seen resort to this. I'm not happy about it,
but not inclined to leave CBS over it either.

SITE VIEWING RULES
|
The following rules apply to emails too!
1. I write. I don't proof read. I don't edit (unless the errors are eggregious, then I'll consider editing)
You will find misspellings, typos, grammatical errors and missing words in almost every article.
If you simply treat this as part of the folksy charm of my site, it will be a more pleasurable experience for both of us.
2. Use the Google Machine To Decipher Cryptic References
I'm a big fan of off the wall references. If you suspect your missing the joke, see if you can find it on google.
3. I Mean You No Harm
I promise any jokes made are in fun, with no intent to offend or hurt feelings. But you know how color blind people can't tell the
difference between greens and reds... well I can't always see the line between appropriate and not appropriate, and before I know it I'm on the wrong side.
