HOW IT WORKS

Think you can predict the path to the national championship? Here’s everything you need to know before you submit your bracket.

    • Download the fillable PDF bracket above (or below).

    • Type in your picks directly on your device (or print and fill it out by hand — old school is always welcome).

    • Save your completed bracket and email it to:
      tiff@sideoutsociety.com by Thursday, December 4th at 12pm ET.

    • Subject line: “SOS Bracket Challenge – Your Name”

    All brackets must be submitted before the first serve of the NCAA Tournament.

  • Every correct pick earns points, and each round is worth more than the last.

    Here’s the breakdown:

    First Round (64→32) = 10 points

    Second Round (32→16) = 20 points

    Regional Semifinals = 40 points

    Regional Finals = 80 points

    National Semifinals = 160 points

    National Championship = 320 points

    Each round is worth the same total number of points, and there are 1,920 maximum points available.

    There are no upset bonuses — a correct pick is a correct pick.

  • If two or more brackets finish with the same total points, we use the tie-breaker:

    Predict the total number of points scored in the National Championship match.
    That’s both teams, all sets, added together.

    Whoever’s prediction is closest to the real total wins the tie.

    If there’s still a tie, closest without going over wins.
    (If it’s still a tie… you all share the glory.)

  • One winner will receive an exclusive, not-yet-released Side Out Society sweatshirt — the first piece of our upcoming merch drop.

    Yes, you will literally be wearing something no one else in the world has yet.

    Yes, we will be jealous.

    • You may only submit one bracket per person.

    • Late brackets will not be accepted (we love you, but rules are rules).

    • All decisions and scoring are final.

    • By entering, you agree to have the time of your life following this tournament.
