You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

In a nutshell. It's the study of the college basketball tournament in march. AKA March Madness. Trying to figure out and predict what team will win it all.

Predicting who will make the big tournament is just a small component of bracketology. Once the teams are chosen the real fun begins with office pools with people trying to pick the most winners in hopes of winning the prize. The prize is usually a sum of money collected as an "entry fee."
I remember one year, a contest that offered a million dollars to whoever could pick 100% of the winners. Now the prizes are even bigger, 12 million in some instances.

I believe Bracketology is more of the study of what teams are going to make the tournament, not which teams are going to win it all. Joe Lunardi tries to pick which 65(6) teams will make the NCAA Tournament based on their RPI (Ratings Percentage Index).

Bracketology is the name that ESPN.com gives to the NCAA Basketball Tournament betting pool.
