I havent filled brackets for the last two years and have enjoyed the tournament more because I can cheer for great games/upsets instead of always worrying about my bracket. I dont think I am going to fill one out this year again.

What will you be doing?

I only do one and go down with that ship. Can't do multiple, I hate being a position where I have to root for different teams that could face each other. it's like being in Multiple fantasy leagues... besides if I win one league, I'll likely win em all

I do 3; 1 for a pool in AZ, one for a pool w/cpl friends, one with my heart (last year I had Catholic schools winning all their first round games.  You know how that one fared!!)

Agreed with Ari.  I do one for fun, against a few buddies (ok, maybe a second one on scoop that I pay no attention to unless I do well!).  But I hardly sit and root for teams just so that I win a bracket challenge.  I just keep it around with me so I can see what the match-ups are in the future rounds.

I get in multiple pools but used the same bracket in each.

Still deciding.  I won a pretty big CFB bowl pool this year and want to keep my winning streak and feeling of invincibility going.  

I usually suck at NCAA tourney brackets anyway.  Anyone here ever won a sizable NCAA pool?

I follow college basketball and my wife does not.....the last two years we have entered the Buffalo Wild Wings National Pick'em Tourney.  She has finished in the top 7 one year and the top 18 the following.  I did beyond terrible.  I pick with my heart/brain and she picks by mascot/nicknames.  She has also won her office pool two years running.  Go figure.

I believe that this is becoming a law of science. Just like in video games, the ones who don't know what they are doing... always beat the ones that do.

I do three brackets... a "homer" bracket where MU wins the championship amongst a Big East Final Four, a "mascot" bracket where teams are judged based upon the ferocity of their mascot, and a "favorites" bracket where I never pick any upsets.  The first two are for fun... I never enter those in a pool.  I enter my favorites bracket only into a couple pools that give no bonuses for upsets.

I do one for fun, but nothing competitive.  I prefer watching the games without having money riding on them.  I still find them exciting.
