I am a purist when it comes to filling out a bracket. By that I mean you should fill out one and only one bracket. Some may not agree and that is okay. Doing it my way though makes you feel a lot better when you get the upsets right. This year I have some craziness in my one and only bracket. I thought it would be neat to put up your own craziness to share as well. Here is mine
East: ETSU and Marquette winning one besides that just chalk with Duke taking the region.
West: Xavier and VCU advancing one game but having Notre Dame in elite 8 vs Zona. I may still put Notre Dame in final 4 but not sure yet.
Midwest: UVM advancing besides that prettt much chalk
South: Craziness with MTSU and Winthrop meeting for the chance to go to sweet 16 and UC losing to PIG winner.
What are your guys' keeping the spirit of just one bracket

Usually the board has a bracket challenge. I'm sad no one has set one up for me yet.

And as a side note what is better to you? Filling out one or multiple brackets?

I usually do just one I think. Mostly because I'm lazy and don't want to think too hard.
One bracket, and it will be toast in the first 48 hours. Why do more?

One bracket.
ETSU winning
Mid Tenn St winning
FGCU winning
Nevada winning
4 BE teams in Sweet 16
Nova repeating as champs
I'll do my bracket before I leave for Orlando in the morning. No idea on PIG's yet. It will be trash in no time. I wonder why it's so popular to pick FGCU over FSU? FSU last 8 games? FGCU a few years ago? It's a strangely popular upset.

All hope for me!
Plus a 14 has beat a 3 seed like 3 of the last 4 years or something like that.

If money is involved you're a sucker if you only fill out one. Screw pride! I want money. Now if it's only for fun then yes there is no reason to do more then one

It only makes sense to fill out more than one if you do it within the same pool. Some pools only allow one. Some pools are also a little pricey and filling out a bunch doesnt make sense either.

There's an open XavierHoops bracket challenge to get in over at CBS...same place as last year.
Don't know if anyone is actually "running" it, but it is open and you can add your bracket to it.

Everybody knows the rules, 1 bracket, score.
Butler over Wichita to get in the Final 4.
Oh, also ETSU is beating Florida.

If butler gets to the final four again I will puke. I want them to do well but I want X to get to a final four before butler does it for a 3rd time.

Butler doesn't have the guard play that's needed....IMHO.

I think UNC has the easiest road to the FF.
I also think Gonzaga might do some damage finally.

I fill out at least two. This way, I can gripe about one and hopefully feel happy about the other. Also, there are first round tossup games in my mind, so I complete another bracket and reverse those tossup games. I rarely mess with anything past the Sweet 16, except maybe who wins in the Finals.

Really? They will likely have to beat UCLA or UK. I think Zona and KU have the easiest road. I havent seen a lot of love for KU but I seem them in the Finals.

How do you search for a group? I just see "create group" or "Play solo"
