Frequently Asked Questions

When will my bracket be available and where can I find it?

Your bracket will be available to complete after Selection Sunday when the NCAA announces which teams will be participating in the tournament, and will be open for picks until five minutes before the first game of the tournament. No one may submit a bracket after that deadline.

How can I edit my picks?

You can update your bracket up until five minutes before the first game of the tournament begins (the four preliminary games are not included). At that time, brackets will lock and cannot be updated again. To edit your picks, return to your bracket and make the changes you'd like. Once complete, select the "Submit" button.

I see a countdown to picks and when games begin. What timezone is that in?

Our countdowns default to the EST.

Are the play-in games included in this contest?

There are four preliminary games to determine who will play in four of the first round of the bracket games. There are no points associated with these "First Four" games in the Pick-It March Mania contest. You’ll see there are two teams listed on a few of the bracket spots, but those will be replaced with the winner of the play-in game after that game finishes. Your picks can be edited during these games and will lock five minutes before the start of the first tournament game outside of these four play-ins.

How do I claim a prize if I win?

If you placed in your contest, congratulations! The company hosting your contest will reach out to you with more information about collecting your prize. If you do not hear from them within a week, we recommend you call that company directly to discuss prize pick up.

I share a device with someone else. How can we both fill out picks?

If you use a shared device, be sure to "Log Out" of your Pick-It account before someone else logs in or they may overwrite your selections. To log out, select the dropdown in the upper right corner of your page and choose "Log Out." The next person can then sign in. Uncertain who is currently signed in? Simply navigate to the bracket and review the name in the upper left corner.

Why do I have to trigger a login email?

Our system uses cookies to keep you logged in. If your browser isn't set to accept cookies, or it is set to clear your history and cookies after you close your browser, you will have to request an email to log in.

What do the colors on the bracket indicate?

Once games conclude, the bracket will change colors indicating whether you have made a correct pick or not.

Another player and I have the same number of points. What determines our rank?

Please refer to the terms and conditions for more information on tiebreakers.
