CRC Brackets Set: Fans Can Enter Bracket Challenge
The Collegiate Rugby Championship tournament has set its bracket, and there's a new wrinkle to involved fans with a May Madness Rugby 7s Bracket Challenge.
The Bracket Challenge is basically a chance for fans to predict how the competitions, men and women, will pan out. You can win four VIP tickets to next year's CRC.
The contest is inspired by college basketball bracket challenges fans take part in every year. In fact, the CRC received permission from the NCAA to use the term May Madness for this contest. It's not easy, given that there's are five rounds of games in the men's competition, and four rounds in the women's competition, with consolation games throughout. You will have to predict the winner of every game, getting points for each correct guess ... err ... carefully researched pick.

The actual list of teams in the men's competition includes 28 teams. The top four-seeded teams, Lindenwood, Life, Davenport, and Army all get a bye through the first round.
For the women's competition, there are 12 teams, with the top #4 and #2 seeds, Iowa State, Iowa, Davenport, and Northern Iowa getting the byes.
