NCAA Bracket

What is this?

Interactive and printable bracket for the annual NCAA March Madness basketball tournament. You can use this to publish the first round matchups, and it lets people pick their winners then print out their brackets. You can also use this to publish the current state of the tournament all the way down to the championship, ala this 2015 NCAA Tournament men's results bracket

This is not responsive, but please feel free to fork this and make it so. We accept pull requests! Demo: http://www.bracketadvisor.com/interactive-bracket/

What's in here?

The project contains the following folders and important files:

• index.html -- Blank bracket
• /js -- Javascript
• /css -- Strangely enough, stylesheets

How to use this

1. Make a copy of this Google doc: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1K4luNfy1yXkD4I-6CKEzvwPKCRAqCu9R6qo0ZMGQBn8/edit?usp=sharing
2. The teams for each region are in separate tabs including the play-in games. All the labels are in the first tab. Once you have entered all the teams and information, "Publish to the web..."
3. In the Publish window, you'll find a URL that will contain a key. Copy that and paste into line 16 of js/bracket.js
4. You'll probably want to update the year- and tournament-specific information at the top of index.html
