Instructions

1. Before March Madness begins, be sure to fill out a bracket. After all, it’s the brackets that make March Madness more fun for the viewer!

2. Pick up a schedule of games before March Madness starts. Most brackets will have a schedule. If yours does not, you can easily find a schedule either in the sports section of the newspaper during the week of March Madness or online.

3. Order a March Madness package through either your cable company or satellite provider. Doing this will allow you to have access to every game throughout the NCAA Tournament.

4. If you have cable and have ordered the March Madness package, buy a cable splitter or two. Then, hook up multiple TV sets in one room. This way, you’ll be able to watch multiple games at the same time from the comfort of your own couch.

5. If you don’t want to spend the money on a March Madness television package, go out to a local sports bar to watch the NCAA Tournament. You’ll want to call ahead of time to ensure that the bar has at least four different TV sets that will be visible to you. During the first two days of the NCAA Tournament, there will be several times when four different games are being played simultaneously.

6. Wherever you watch the games, be sure to have a copy of your bracket(s) with you at all times. This way, you can keep track of how you’re doing throughout the entire NCAA Tournament.
