Hack the Bracket and Go to the 2019 Championship Game

Hack your bracket for your chance at a prize package for this year’s college basketball championship game in Minnesota.

In an era of one-and-done, Adobe’s #HacktheBracket is back for its Sophomore season. Last year, our data-driven take on the tournament scored us in the 98th percentile using Adobe Analytics and Adobe Sensei.

This year, you can use our model again to predict the tournament and win bragging rights. Only this time we’re also sending two winners—with plus-ones—to the championship game in Minneapolis, Minnesota on Monday, April 8.

Here’s how to play:

1. Create an official college basketball bracket online and submit to Adobe’s official group prior to the scheduled tip-off time of the first game of the first round on Thursday, March 21, 2019. Use your full Twitter handle as the name of the bracket; this will allow us to contact you. Might we suggest you use insights from our tool while filling out your bracket?
