The 2016 Brackets
And here we are with this year’s brackets. (We will let you know about the judges’ assignments once we’ve revealed them all –on 2/24.) Being traditionalists, we stayed with our mostly-usual alphabetical order by title. So, what do you all think? Which eight will advance to Round 2?
For those of you who registered for the previous blank bracket you will be getting a notice for the updated one. Going forward as we update the brackets, you will be notified. And if you haven’t registered yet for these, just go here to do so.
Thanks to Mark Tuchman for the adorable gif at the top of the post.
