The sports wasteland of February has been brushed away as the NCAA men's basketball tournament gets under way. Here are some sites that will have you setting up a bracket and getting back to work without costing your employer $75 billion in productivity losses.
Filled Out Your Bracket Yet?
Like Yahoo, Fox/MSN provides matchup information for each bracket. People who want suggestions from the peanut gallery can opt to fill in their brackets automatically with Top Seeds, Popular Picks, or Expert Picks. The experts seem to like the one seeds except for North Carolina, they think Georgetown will beat them in a 1 versus 2 Elite Eight matchup.
5. AOL SportsAOL Sports has its Coke Zero-fueled
Entering brackets is a click to pick process, with a tiebreaker selected at the end. AOL's gimmick is the NCAA Bracket-O-Matic, with slider controls that let people make their picks based on preferences like weighting a senior lineup over freshman in matchups, strength versus speed, state universities against private ones, etc.
All of these games will let people get in, make their picks, and get back to work quickly. The real time consuming starts when the games do, as people start following their upset choices and live and die with each three-pointer and free throw. At least a little productivity will be saved during the selection process.
