Cheers, Katie Dear All, It is approaching that magical time of the year where Cinderella's shine and dreams are made and hopes are shattered. For the impossible to become reality and the improbable to happen. Yes, it's time for March Madness to begin!! Today is Selection Sunday and the lucky 68 teams that will be competing are chosen. This also means that Bracket Madness is abound and you need to experience the chaos firsthand. Below is a link to create a bracket to compete in GSO's very own tournament challenge.

There will be prizes awarded to the top 3 brackets in our group and ESPN (the host for this challenge) also awards their own prizes for exceptional brackets.
