Here is your chance to get in on the excitement of the 2024 NCAA Final Four Basketball Tournament! We have created an NCAA 2024 Men’s Basketball Tournament challenge with an FCC-specific pool that is free to enter. Even better, the winner of the bracket challenge will win a $50 gift card!
Whether you are an avid college basketball fan or have not watched a game all season, join the fun and fill out a bracket. This is a private group on ESPN’s site, so only FCC employees can compete in this challenge. All brackets need to be completed by 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, March 21st. Please only submit one bracket for your chance to win.
Tips for completing your bracket.
- Seeds do have meaning – 32 of the past 36 Champions have been a #1, #2, or #3 seed.
- Only once in the past 36 years have all Number 1 seeds made it to the Final 4.
- Only once in the tournament history has a #16 seed beaten a #1 seed.
- Most years, a #12 seed beats a #5 seed in the first round (often it happens more than once in a year).
- People who think they know who will win, or which team will upset a higher seed, are just guessing.
Here’s what you need to know to get started:
- Complete your bracket now by selecting the winner of each game in the NCAA Tournament.
- You only need about five minutes to complete the bracket.
- Earn points each round for every correct selection. You can see your points and your standing in the challenge on ESPN’s website.

You will need to create an account with ESPN to join the group and submit your bracket. We recommend using your FCC email, but you are more than welcome to use your personal if you prefer.
- A password is required for joining the group. The password is FccMM123!
This will be a great opportunity to have some with your coworkers. Part of the fun of a bracket challenge like this is that the upsets always figure into the outcome, but you never where they will come from. Now you can have a shot at your won prediction!
