An Ode to the Bracketmaster

In case you hadn't gotten your fill of the madness, you can learn more about why they call it that, the wisdom of brackets (adapted from a book I've been looking for in Chile since Monday), an entertaining account of one writer's near $10,000-winning experience in ESPN's Tournament Challenge, and even participate in your own Ad Slogan bracket, among other great bracketology articles from Slate.

But the best article is about the death of bracketmasters. Listening to it is even more fun. It is a somewhat sad reality that one of the victims of technology is the bracketmaster of old. But someone's still got to collect and distribute the money, right? A prost: to those that run the office pool, everywhere.
