Oh wow, I was about to make this thread 10 minutes ago.
I am like
What the fuck is the point if you can choose among 3-5 brackets and tell people that is how well you did?
I picked one, I'm sticking to it.

a guy in my league filled out 2 separate brackets with two different email addresses
he's currently tied with himself for 3rd place.

the reason I don't do it is because I want to pick one team and cheer for them to win...I've done multiple brackets before that had a few things different and then I just always end up being torn between who I want to win certain games 3/16/2007 11:39:10 AM |

i always have more than one bracket, but as far as bragging rights go, i only use one. Only one of em, the one I enter into the main pool with all of my friends, is the "official" one. The others are just for the chance to win money on espn or whatever, but in conversation I never bring em up. so for people who respond "WELL MY ESPN BRACKET IS blah blah blah.." yes, you are a woman. 3/16/2007 1:29:00 PM |

when i fill out multiple brackets, my mood changes, and i don't bother keeping it consistant with previous brackets. it's all about how i feel in the moment! 3/16/2007 1:35:51 PM |

if you fill out multiple brackets to hedge your bets, then thats ok.
but you better not get on here bragging about how you are an awesome picker because on 1 of your 5 brackets you picked VCU to win. 3/16/2007 1:40:26 PM |

my final four is identical in both my brackets
i had duke beating pitt and losing to ucla in both brackets
but if i happen to have marquette winning the opening game in one bracket and michigan state in the other...but i have UNC winning the 2nd round matchup in both brackets...its not trying to be able to brag...its just not remember who I had UNC beating in the 2nd round...THOSE are the inconsistencies i have with my brackets...oh no i swapped a couple 7/10 seed picks by accident 3/16/2007 1:42:51 PM |

i usually fill out one bracket with my personal choices (the one that's in the tww group on espn), then i have others that are figured out by some (educated) random mathematical method. this time i used the pomeroy rating system to calculate winning percentages. i know it's dorky. but i like to see if one of my personally chosen one is better than my four mathematical ones.
[Edited on March 16, 2007 at 1:50 PM. Reason : but the personal choice one is "my bracket" the stats one is just interesting]
so far my personal one is doing the best.

I only have two brackets when NC State is playing.
One bracket with State going to the elite 8 or final four...and the other with them losing in the 2nd round or sweet 16. 3/16/2007 1:50:31 PM |

bingo....I fill out several brackets for several different pools....for the most part, they're the same, but I don't carry my "official bracket" everywhere I go, so I know for sure some of the 1st rounders are not the same on each.3/16/2007 1:56:00 PM |

Basically yeah its ok to fill out multiple brackets, but those people get no sorta oh my bracket is doing awesome, well what i mean is one out of 10 is awesome the other 9 shit a brick after the first day of play. I generally fill out one bracket and use it on a couple places and that is that. Ive had some great ones and some shitty ones, of course generally everyone else's was even shittier that year so I still pocketed some money lol. 3/16/2007 3:13:32 PM |

I'm not a big fan of the multiple brackets either.
Brackets are mere peripherals of the tournament.
You fill one out for fun in a little pool or whatever, and if it goes to shit, it goes to shit. 3/16/2007 3:44:51 PM |
