The NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament, also known as March Madness, is an annual knockout tournament between the best college basketball teams in the United States. While some fans enjoy just watching the games, others fill out a so-called bracket in order to predict the ultimate winner of the tournament. These brackets are sometimes filled out for fun among friends, or more competitively to win money or prizes offered by various betting companies and organizations. During a March 2023 survey, around 48 percent of respondents stated that they would fill out a bracket for the 2023 March Madness tournament.
