Winner gets a week of colors. This is the same group we've been using for the last couple of tourneys. To sign up, do both of: Create a bracket on ESPN.com and join the group "JCC Arena" (Group ID is 779503) with password "arena" - This direct link should work Post your bracket info here (name of bracket and your JCC Username) ESPN will do the rest, but I'll continue to update as we go along. Copy/past to sign-up, and add more spots as needed. As I recall, the group is unlimited so there's no cut off for signups.

@Point Given The links aren't working (404 Not Found). Looks like there may be an issue on ESPN. I was able to choose to rejoin JCC for the men (it knew my previous groups), but I got the same error. I'll try again later.
Every year I say this is the year Creighton is gonna lose in the first round. And every year this is the beginning of the busting of my awful bracket. Why should this year be any different?
I think I can stop watching now. This might be one of my worst first rounds ever and we’re not even half way done yet.
Congrats to @Psych_Jedi for winning the Women's Bracket! The Men's Bracket is interesting. If Houston wins then @heels1785 is the winner. If Florida wins, Paul Caspermeyer is the winner but I don't know who that is. If a meteor hits the arena, Psych Jedi wins!
Thanks for setting up a women's bracket this year! The first time I played the men's bracket challenge here, it was 2019 and I won...the world was turned upside down in 2020. I fear for what I have unleashed for 2026. A meteor hitting tomorrow night would definitely be a huge upset!
The meteor? Seriously, congrats...nicely done, whoever you are. Speaking of strange turns of events... I run a family bracket challenge on Yahoo and we did the women's bracket this year. This year BOTH challenges ended in a tie and required a tiebreaker (total points in the final). One of my nephews (who is the best baller among us and a big Star Wars fan), finished tied for first in both and lost the tiebreaker both times--that's rough!
At this point the only logical thing to do is to equally split the prize among every registered member here
Strange indeed. Splitting the winnings sounds like a good idea. For me, it's really never felt so good to be the first loser.
