Bracketology: The Madness of the Bracket!

Guess What?!  It’s that time of year again. The air is thick with polls and speculation on who will make the cut and enter the 2017 NCAA Basketball tournament.

This time of year is always a nail biting experience for the fans that are preparing to fill out their bracket(s). Everyone dreams of winning it all – being crowned Champion! That’s right – filling out the perfect bracket. Especially… the office bracket.

We all have our own way of filling out our brackets. For many of us, we choose our favorite team or Alma Mater to go all the way. Some of us like the method of choosing mascots, the meaner ones get the win or the cuter ones win. Some people choose based on the colors of the teams. Do you like Crimson and Blue or Black and Yellow? Many go with the higher seeds until you get to the 11/5 and 8/9 and then they flip them.

There are many ways to choose, but in every office bracket pool there is only one winner.

Here at Kenton Brothers Systems for Security, we have all types of brackets.

Many of us fill out multiple brackets to be sure we cover all our bases and methods. Each year, the brackets are hung on the service office door and dutifully checked every day for progress (or the dreaded bracket buster from the night before.) You will hear the excited cries each morning and a few grumbles of discontent. Once in a while, a huge sigh of acceptance that that this won’t be the year that they get to brag about being the champion. However, none of these compare to the zeal and volume of the champion letting everyone know that they’ve won the bracket and the year of bragging that ensues!

Carpe-Madness! If you fill out a bracket this year, good luck!
