Help Make March Madness Productivity Predictions Prevail

Industry Trends and Research

If it’s March, then it must be time for March Madness – and it’s time for NAPA-Net readers to weigh in on the team(s) that you think will make it to the Final Four, and win the national championship!

That’s right – the brackets have been set, and in this week’s reader poll, we’d like to know who you’re pulling for – and who you think will “bust the brackets” in this year’s NCAA men’s national basketball championship.

Every year, a staffing firm (or two) tells us that, with as many as 37.3 million workers participating in March Madness office pools and up to 1.5 million watching games online from their desks, the NCAA men’s college basketball championship tournament takes a toll on productivity and the economy.

So, let’s get started. Just like the tournament itself, here’s your chance to pick:

  • the winners in the four regionals;
  • your pick to win it all; and
  • the pick you’d love to see win, even if they don’t seem to stand a chance.

We’re also giving you a chance for glory by picking the team you think will be the tournament’s “bracket buster” (the team that beats the team that everyone is expecting to go far), not to mention your pick for the tournament’s “Cinderella” (the team that goes further than anyone expects).

Your team not make it this year? You can even pick the team you think should  have made it, but didn’t.

Now, the tournament starts Thursday (with the play-ins), but we’ll wrap it all up for you on Friday.

And – just think – they’ll be playing the Final Four during the NAPA 401(k) Summit in Las Vegas – and you sure won’t want to miss that  (if you haven’t – and it’s getting late – but you can still register at http://napasummit.org).
