Default How many different bracket contests will you be in?

Do you fill out the same bracket for all, or different sheets for each contest? I will be in a least 5 and will have at least 5 different champions.

Thanks TP, just few things I have learned, seen, and heard in my short time on this earth. I have not won a bracket contest in over 10 years. I have had more big blowups than close calls.

I always do a pretty good job finding upsets, but I usually always have a FInal 4 team that doesnt make it out of the first weekend somehow. (I hate playing chalk in brackets)

Four, one of them with a bunch of my old high school and college buds, $100 buy-in, all proceeds to charity. Naturally, that's the only one I've ever won in my life, the one that doesn't pay.

The one here and $10 one with a bunch of friends from high school... I started looking at all the free ones that all the various books offer and quickly realized with probably 10,000+ other punters in each one just reading the rules and trying to think out plan that took over a minute made them not worth my time...

None. I never get around to it. I think I have 20 free brackets at Bookmaker but filling them out just never rises to the top of the priorities list.
