How does the March Madness bracket picking contest work?

I am a girl, never really paid much attention to March Madness but this year I am. So, what is the bracket picking contest all about? Is it just random or is there a strategic way of picking? I am confused as to how March Madness all plays out.

Answer:

Strategy okorder
You just pick based on seeding, matchups and just basically knowing what team is good or not. The March Madness thing is a tournament of 64 teams broken down into 4 regions all seeded 1-16. after the winners of that they go down to 32 teams. The winners of that are in the sweet 16 elite 8 and then there is the final four. When you see A logo like March Madness New Orleans that is where the final 4 teams will play to see who will win the national championship, who ever wins that is obviously the champ for that season.
At first i used to take whoever had a better record but u have to put upsets in because they happen every year, experience and coaching and then look at there calendar from the regular season because if they lost to a team they are playing then u might want to not have them win that game. There is a lot to take into consideration
I swear man, no matter how much I try to figure out this bracketology stuff.it just goes right over my head. This is more complicated than quantum physics. This is just too much. And people think the BCS College Football formula is complicated. Lol
does it matter
