In the last 24 hours, millions of brackets have been printed off worldwide.
That's right, the NCAA basketball Tournament starts Thursday.
The tournament will end with the title game in Indianapolis on April 5th.
Many people consider March Madness the greatest three week period in sports.
And it seems every one of those people have a different strategy in picking their bracket.
Some people pick the favorites to go all the way, while others look for a 'Cinderella Story' to make some noise.
But if you do pick that Cinderella, watch out.
"Go with your gut. But definitely stick with the 1-4 seed if you're going to be successful in your brackets because now in this day and age, there's no more big upsets like the Villanova over Georgetown. You have the great players and the one and done's that are really going to push the tournament," says Adam Mrozek, owner of Hoffman's Hobbies.
Kansas and Kentucky are considered two of the favorites for this year's tourney.
Duke and Syracuse are the other number one seeds.
Three things to remember when picking your bracket:
1. No 16 seed has ever upset a number one seed.
2. Only once have all number one seeds made it to the Final Four.
3. If you are looking to pick an upset, several 12 seeds have beaten 5 seeds in the past, so that may be the way to go.
