Every
March my buddies and I would put a dollar into a pool and pick
our winning brackets. As we got older , and lives changed,
it became increasingly difficult to get together to
pick our brackets. Much of the fun of the tournament
was seeing
what teams others picked, showing off your bracket, and
talking a little trash about how terrible their picks
were.
So in 2001 Matt'sTourney.com
was born. That
first
year
was
just
a
bracket in a simple
form and one page showing the rankings. We had a good
time viewing each others brackets and following
the rankings all on the internet. We had 15 entries that
first
year.
In 2002 I began using
a program called Turbo Tourney for MattsTourney.com. That
year underdog
scoring was added, and the word got out about MattsTourney.com.
We had 79 entries the second year.
Over the years MattsTourney.com
has really become a tradition every March. Many players
return the following year in hopes this is the year they
will pick the winning bracket.
There are no prizes
given at MattsTourney.com -- other than some major bragging
rights.
Let the madness begin...
