A bracket challenge for the most chaotic hoops tournament around

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! The best part of the women’s college basketball championship isn’t the buzzer-beaters or Cinderella runs — it’s that you can be a part of it with your very own bracket. Time to get pickin’!

How to play

  • New users can create an account at the top of this page, returning players just have to sign in with their email and password.
  • Head to "Make Your Picks" and select your winners for each round. You can submit up to three brackets — just make sure they're filled out completely.
  • Points increase as the rounds progress (1 point in Round 1, 2 in Round 2, 4 in Round 3, and so on, up to 10 for the championship game). Correctly predicting the exact total of the final (both team’s scores combined) will net you a bonus 5 points.
  • Submit your bracket by Friday, March 21st at 12 p.m. ET — before the first round tips off.
