14th annual blog bracket challenge! (entries closed!)

March 15, 2022 by Nathan Bransford 4 Comments

It’s that time again!

As always, the winner of the Blog Bracket Challenge will win a query critique, a copy of one of my books, or other agreed-upon prize. But most of all pride. Lots of pride.

Here’s how to enter:

1. Go to the front page of the ESPN tournament challenge:  

https://fantasy.espn.com/tournament-challenge-bracket/2022/en/ (Men)

https://fantasy.espn.com/tournament-challenge-bracket-women/2022/en/ (Women)

The rest of the instructions are the same for both challenges.

2. Make your picks.

3. If you have an ESPN username and password from last year you can log in when you submit your pick.

4. Hover over the link that says “My Groups” and then click “Create or Join a Group”

5. Search for “Bransford Blog Challenge.” Enter the password, which is “rhetorical” and then click Join Group.

Then you’re all set! You can make changes to your bracket by clicking on it until it locks when games start on on Thursday (and yes, there are play-in games before then, but the bracket still doesn’t lock until Thursday).

Good luck!!

Need help with your book? I’m available for manuscript edits, query critiques, and coaching!

      Oops yes Thursday. The one with the number is the correct one but let me try and sort it out tonight. The settings were strange for resurrecting groups. If you’re able to join both please join both for now.

      Sorry for the confusion, Bransford Blog Challenge 6217825 is now closed and I changed the name. Bransford Blog Challenge is the one to join.
