    The Big Question... Amount of Brackets?

    How many different brackets do you fill out?

    I'm a purist. I use one bracket, and one bracket only, and I enter that same bracket in every pool I'm in. Makes everything simpler - 'cause you know who you got in every game - and it makes you need to be more gusty to take chances on some 13 over 4 upsets and the like.

    EDIT: Wanted to include a poll... thought I had. Could a mod post one with options for 1 bracket, 1 bracket per pool, 2-5 brackets, and 6 or more brackets? Thanks

        4 different brackets on ESPN and Yahoo, but almost all of them are the same.

          Use one Bracket per pool and I'm usually in about two to three pools. Usually my final 8 will stay the same but the first two rounds could vary with each bracket I make with different upsets and what not.

            I'll have up to about twenty brackets. 5 on ESPN, 5 on another ESPN name, 5 on Yahoo, 1 on SI.com, 1 on cbsportsline.com, 1 on local sports radio site, 1 on FoxSports.com, and one random one.

            However, I normally just pick one main that I try to follow more closely than the rest of them, which is the one I enter for OS. I'd want to win that one more than any of the other ones.

                Just one for me.

                I prefer to just pick off gut instinct and live with it. No need to go with other brackets. It'd ruin the "moment" for me. Like if I was the only one to call a 16 seed over a 1, but I had 3 other brackets having a 1 over 16, it wouldn't feel "right". But if I had every bracket with that same 16 over 1, then yeah nevermind, moot point.

                  1 but i used it for the 3 contests im in. I think if you do more than just one it ruins the suspense.

                    I think I'm in 3 pools this year. All my brackets are basically the same, with a minor alteration in a game or two that I think is a tossup. Pretty much I'm going to win them all or lose them all.

                          true

                          How can you be happy picking an upset if you didn't pick that same upset in the other 15 brackets?

                          I'm making just one for 2 pools I'm in

                            1 bracket that is copied and pasted into all of my leagues. I go with one and hope and pray!

                              I use the same bracket for every pool Im in, but take advantage of the 4 extra espn lets me fill out. Most of them are just crazy **** though.
