How to play

It's not just a trophy on the line — here's how you can enter for a chance to win some sweet prizes and eternal glory.

If this is your first time filling out a bracket with The GIST, head to the top of this page and create an account. If you've filled one out for previous tournaments, sign in.

Navigate to the "Make your picks" page and pick your winners by clicking on the team you think will advance. You can enter up to three brackets — but make sure you fill them out completely.

Points are awarded for every series winner you pick correctly. The value increases per round (first-round games are worth 2 Points, quarter-finals are worth 4 Points, semifinals are worth 6 Points, and the national championship game is worth 8 points).

Any GISTer who predicts the combined final score of the championship-winning game (Team 1's points + Team 2's points) will receive an additional 5 points.
