This is a four-region, 68-team layout for college-hoops-style pools: four regions of 16, each seeded on its own, plus four play-in games for the last lines. Fill in a 68-team bracket for March Madness or any big tournament: no teams, logos or tournament names are built in, so you enter the field and name the regions yourself.

How the field is laid out
| Names in your list | Where they go |
|---|---|
| 1 to 16 | Region 1, seeds 1 to 16 |
| 17 to 32 | Region 2, seeds 1 to 16 |
| 33 to 48 | Region 3, seeds 1 to 16 |
| 49 to 64 | Region 4, seeds 1 to 16 |
| 65 to 68 | Play-in teams: 65 plays region 1’s 16 seed, 66 region 2’s, and so on (see the option below) |
Inside each region the first round runs, top to bottom, 1 v 16, 8 v 9, 4 v 13, 5 v 12, 2 v 15, 7 v 10, 3 v 14 and 6 v 11. Regions 1 and 2 sit on the left, 3 and 4 on the right, and the region winners meet in the semifinals.
Play-in games
The four play-in games appear above the bracket. Until you pick them, each region’s 16 line reads “Winner of P1” (P2, P3, P4). By default there is one play-in per region, always at the 16 line. If your pool plays two of them lower down, set Play-in games for to “16 seeds in regions 1–2, 11 seeds in regions 3–4” (or 12 seeds): names 67 and 68 then play regions 3 and 4’s 11 (or 12) seeds, and the winners meet the 6 (or 5) seeds.
Filling it in and sharing
Picks are saved in this browser as you go. When you’re done, Share result makes a link with the names, region names and every pick, so friends in a pool can open your bracket and compare. Tick Blank bracket for empty sheets to hand out on paper.
