We're excited to announce the second annual PBR Texas Bracket Challenge for the upcoming UIL Playoffs. This is a March Madness style bracket challenge that allows each person to make their own picks and predictions for every matchup in the 3A-6A Playoffs. We're excited to be able to bring this to baseball fans throughout Texas, giving them a chance to show how much they know about high school baseball in the Lone Star State.

Below is the Format and Rules for the Bracket Challenge.

FORMAT, RULES & PRIZE

These rules and the format of this challenge should be fairly straight-forward and easy to understand, especially for someone who has participated in ESPN's Tourney Challenge for March Madness. This should be fairly similar in terms of how you can win, standings and much more. We've created four separate brackets (four different classifications) on www.challonge.com that are open and joinable for anyone to participate. This challenge is completely FREE to play and there will be no money involved for entry or for the prize-winners. 

• There will be four winners, one for each classification. The winners are determined by total points. 

• UIL Playoffs will begin on Thursday May 4th.

• All Class 3A-6A brackets must be submitted by 5:00 PM, Thursday the 4th.

• All picks must be made for your bracket prior to the deadline, including selecting a winner from each matchup and ultimately the champion for that specific classification.

Each winner will receive a PBR Texas Hat

POINTS SYSTEM

The bigger the matchup, the bigger the reward for correctly picking the winner. Below is an explanation for how many points will be rewarded for correctly picking the winner for a matchup in different rounds of the playoffs. This point system will be the same for all classifications.

• Area: 2 points

• Regional Quarter Finals: 4 points
