March Madness is here, and it’s time to put your basketball knowledge to the test with the Wildcat Blue Nation Bracket Challenge! Whether you’re a die-hard Kentucky fan or just love the thrill of the NCAA Tournament, this is your chance to compete, make your picks, and see if you’ve got what it takes to outsmart the competition. Here’s how you can join the fun, score points, and maybe even predict that Cinderella run to the Final Four.

How to Sign Up and Join

Getting started is easy and completely free. Wildcat Blue Nation is happy to bring you a seamless bracket experience. Follow these simple steps to sign up and join the challenge:

Head to ESPN: Visit ESPN’s Tournament Challenge website at fantasy.espn.com or download the ESPN Tournament Challenge app (available on iOS and Android).

Create or Sign In: If you don’t already have an ESPN account, set one up for free in just a few minutes. If you’re already an ESPN user, simply log in.

Join the Group: Once you’re signed in, click here or on the ESPN website click “Create/Join Group” and search for “Wildcat Blue Nation Bracket Challenge.” Enter the group name exactly as listed, join up, and you’re in!

Make Your Picks: Fill out your bracket with your predictions for every game, from the First Four to the National Championship. Only one bracket per person is allowed, so make it count!

Note: Please use a name you want shown, as it will be broadcast on socials. Any lewd, potentially offensive names will be removed and you will be disqualified. So keep it clean, and keep it fun. No prizes offered.

How It Works

The rules are straightforward: you earn points for every pick you get right. The deeper your teams advance, the more points you rack up, so it’s all about keeping your squads alive as long as possible. A correct First Round pick might net you a few points, but nailing a Final Four team or the champion could catapult you up the leaderboard. It’s a game of strategy, gut instinct, and maybe a little luck—perfect for any hoops fan looking to prove they know ball.

Upsets, Cinderellas, and Final Four Glory

Got a hunch about an underdog? Feeling a 12-seed upsetting a 5-seed or a double-digit seed making a magical run to the Final Four? This is your moment to shine. The NCAA Tournament thrives on chaos, and the Wildcat Blue Nation Bracket Challenge rewards bold predictions that pay off. Will you play it safe with chalk picks, or take a chance on a Cinderella story? The choice is yours, but only the sharpest bracket minds will rise to the top.

We’ll keep you updated every step of the way. After each day of tournament action, check the standings on our social media channels and at wildcatbluenation.com.
