New in 2005 -- School Standings!

Added as a new feature in 2005, contestants can now represent their favorite Division I school in the Worldwide Standings Pool for each tournament. A school will qualify when the number of contestants filling out their Main Brackets reaches a fixed threshhold. In 2007, as with in 2005 and 2006, that threshhold will be 10 for the Men's Tournament. However, for the Women's tournament, the threshhold is increasing from 2 to 4 this year. Keep in mind that, even though you can fill out multiple Brackets, the only Bracket that counts towards the School Standings is your Main Bracket.

If your school is under-represented on this list, spread the word throughout the faithful of your favorite team!

For your entry to count towards the list on this page, you must be actively participating in either of the current year's Contests (i.e. Men's or Women's hoops).  In order for a school to be eligible to compete in the Challenge, 10 legitimate Brackets (Men's tourney) or 4 legitimate Brackets (Women's tourney) must be filled out by Contestants representing that school.

If you are a part of the dreaded "No Selection" crowd, you can select your favorite school by logging into the site and clicking the Modify Personal Information/Change Password link in the "Other Miscellaneous Links" section of the Welcome Page or by clicking the Modify Personal Information link in the "Tourney Toolbox" section of the Main Contest page. You can update this any time before the first game tips off.
