There are few events on the sports calendar better than March Madness: the pageantry, the controversy, the emotion, the buzzer-beaters, John Calipari being over-ranked and still getting knocked out early.

The Horned Frogs are dancing again this year , but in addition to following TCU’s march through the bracket, Tournament time gives you the opportunity to compete against your friends, family, co-workers, and random strangers on the internet to prove your superior college basketball knowledge. Everyone will fill out a bracket and every bracket will ultimately look approximately the same – you and 10 million other people will pick Florida or Michigan or Duke to win the National Championship, which is the correct and rational choice, but not very interesting. What if there was a bracket challenge that required a bit more strategy and skill to emerge victorious?

Welcome back to the 7th annual Frogs O’ War NCAA Tournament Survivor Pool. The objective is simple: select one winner per day of the Tournament and be the last one standing when the nets are cut down in San Antonio. Easy enough, right?

Well, the challenge is that you can only pick each team one time for the entire Tournament – once you select a team, you cannot select that team again for the remainder of the Tournament. In 2018 the champion was crowned during the Elite 8 as early upsets quickly narrowed the field. In 2019 the trophy was earned in the Final 4 on tiebreakers.
