Our group provides an easy way for readers to compete against friends, family and fellow college basketball fans, a chance to earn bragging rights and a spot on the Sports Page of our newspaper. The Union Daily Times will feature a leaderboard on the Sports Page after each round of the tournament to let our readers know who's at the top of the pack and the winner will be featured following the contest.

The Union Daily Times will provide a hard copy of the tournament bracket in Tuesday's edition of the paper.

FILLING OUT A BRACKET:

All you have to do is select who you think will win each of the 63 tournament games that take place from March 21 on. For each game you get right, you earn points. The point value for a correct pick increases with each round of the tournament, culminating with the championship game on April 8. Once you've made your selections, all you do is sit back, relax and pull for your picks to survive and advance.

If you score the most points, you'll have a chance to win ESPN's grand prize of a $10,000 Best Buy gift card.

Take your best shot to stand out from the crowd in hopes of finding your name at the top of the leaderboard in April.
