According to the online reference guide TheQualipedia.com, the company that produces basketballs for the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament tests them with a “Slam Machine” that takes five minutes to simulate the workout a ball will get in four games. If only we all worked as hard as the basketballs this month.
Wagering on the 68-team NCAA tournament, popularly known as ‘March Madness,’ is an annual ritual in the United States. Any individual can do it, with major sports websites like ESPN, Yahoo!, CBSSports, Fox, NBC offering the chance to fill out a bracket online for fun. President Obama has made a habit of filling out his bracket on ESPN each year, and who doesn’t want a chance to outsmart the leader of the free world?
Individual online contests are perfect for the hardcore sports fan, while inter-office pools are for everyone. The office contest is simple: One employee prints out a blank bracket and distributes it for co-workers to fill out. No basketball knowledge is necessary and often the employee who picks a winner because it has the goofiest name (Gonzaga, anyone?) winds up winning the office pool.
