Now that we’ve beefed up the women’s side of things this year, we are pleased to bring you the first annual Women’s NCAA Bracket Challenge!!!! The bracket is out, and we have our reactions coming your way soon, but we really needed to kick off our bracket challenge first. I know you don’t have a ton of time, so apologies for the delay, but hop to it boys and girls! I stole the steps below from D3Northeast (I cited you, so this is not plagiarism, ty!!), but it should be pretty straight forward. We’re so excited to bring you this and much more NCAAs-related content over the next couple of weeks! So get to it and create your bracket for this year’s bracket challenge!
2019 Women’s Bracket Challenge
1) Click on the link above.
2) Click on the link for “2019 NCAA Tournament” (after which you should see the draw).
3) Click the “Predict It” link, in the top left corner of the draw.
4) You do have to register with the site, but it’s completely free and in 5 years I have not gotten one email from them.
4a) Enter your name and REAL email. This is important. The name doesn’t have to be real, but the email does because you will get a confirmation link.
4b) Get your new password emailed to you (this is instantaneous).
4c) Enter your new password with your email into the site (after which you should be taken back to the draw).
5) Pick your 1st round matches! You pick a winner by clicking the bubble next to a team’s name. You do not need to do anything with the teams that have byes, as the bracket automatically advances them. You can enter scores into the text box that appears in each match section. These are not necessary, but a fun way to distinguish yourself from the competition.
6) After picking all 10 1st round matches, click enter at the bottom of the page (after which you should be taken to all 2nd round matchups). PLEASE NOTE ALL MATCHES WILL BE LOCKED IN AFTER PRESSING ENTER. IF YOU WISH TO CHANGE YOUR PREDICTIONS, YOU WILL HAVE TO DELETE YOUR BRACKET AND START OVER (at the bottom left of the page).
7) Pick all 16 2nd round matches.
8) Press enter at the bottom of the page to be presented with 3rd round matchups.
9) Continue picking and hitting enter at the end of each round until you have picked a winner!!!
10) Remember, the deadline is Thursday morning at the start of the first match! If you have any questions, feel free to comment, email (D3NEWomens@gmailcom) or tweet at any of your friendly neighborhood bloggers. Have fun, and good luck!
