Welcome back to the March Sadness Tournament! Voting begins on the top half of the Regional Brackets, and the polls will remain open util 5 PM EDT tomorrow, Tuesday March 22.


The March Sadness next round will take place Monday, March 21 and Tuesday, March 22. Enjoy watching collegiate and professional sports in the meanwhile.


The last four have revealed themselves. 32 has become 16. Big Jim, Kid Gas, Trenni, and Bertie. Tight races, save for one, good job by the Selection Committee. Thank you to everyone who voted, and voted, and voted again. The next Round awaits. Schedule forthcoming…



Some boat races, a squeaker, and some shocking upsets out of the N & T Regions. The #1 seeds move on handily, the 7 seed Tom E. ekes out #2 Gresh by the slimmest of margins, while Ted Johnson does better against a surprisingly competitive Matt McCarthy.
But it’s the two Six seeds upsetting the threes that tells the story here. A late groundswell pushed Dan Lifshatz to victory over Alex Reimer, while across the way in the N Region, Marc Bertrand pulls out a W against the very disliked Adam Jones. A group of dedicated single-issue voters sweeping in to protect their beloved reverend sport buzzard, or whatever? Who can say?



No real surprises here, unless you count people not being interested in Fredgy as a surprise. Which we don’t.

Closing out the Round of 32, here are the remaining four matchups, one from each of the C-V-N-T Regions. Voting will remain open until 4 PM EDT Tuesday. Good luck to the worst.

Polls will be open until 4 PM EDT Monday. Turnout for the C & V Regions was, quite frankly, disappointing. Be better.

Polls are open! Until 3PM DST EDT Sunday! Don’t forget to vote, or to set your clock ahead!

Thirty-two local media members left. Here’s how this will play out:
Six contests begin voting today, another six tomorrow, and on Monday, the matchup from each Region the Selection Committee decided was the most potentially competitive or entertaining.
