IN, and as in the past my guesses will come from Excel’s RAND function. I’m taking myself out of the equation; you’ve been warned.
Up to 21 folks - let’s at least try to get to 32!

I was re-reading the initial post, and realized a couple of dates didn’t make sense, so I updated them to be consistent. New information bolded below:
… which means there’s still time for you to get in on this!
Good news! I got the popcorn machine up and running. The kegerator was unplugged, so that will take some time to cool down. In the meantime, I just brewed a fresh pot:
In!
… and sign-ups are closed!
We will now get to work behinds the scenes to get the brackets ready. Hope you got all your practicing in! If now, it’s cram time!
Umm… there’s been some technical difficulties, so regarding this:
This is now:
“Brackets will be announced no later than Tuesday, March 1st, at 10 p.m. CT”
(Hopefully it’ll be a lot earlier than that, but it won’t be in the next hour, unfortunately.)
Well, we almost made the 10 PM CT deadline… but without further ado, here are the brackets for March Madness 2022!!

First and foremost, thanks to all of our entrants this year - we couldn’t do it without you! (No, seriously - without you this really doesn’t work… )
Good luck to all the players, commentators, and hecklers!
Let the games begin!!
@Mountainhawk , prepare to be crushed, cut, and smothered!
Feeling guilty that my mother would’ve been horrified to hear me trash talk a lady like that.
Sounds dirty — I like it.
Unbeknownst to @Celalta, I’ve finally found a pair of scissors that’ll actually cut rock!!
At least, unbeknownst until now.
And still trying to figure out how to get these scissors to cut paper . . .
Maybe they’re left-handed scissors
So are we supposed to submit something now?
Yes.
I’ve even submitted mine for round 2 since my opponent, the very capable, clever, and conniving @NumericalNeuroticism, received a first round bye as did I.
Honestly, I’m surprised to have made it out of the first round this year.
