MSL Bracket Challenge Winners!

Louisville beat Michigan in an NCAA Championship game for the ages on Monday night. It also marked the end of our inaugural Mercury Sports Live Bracket Challenge.

The top six finishers all picked Louisville to win it all, but it was Steve (not sports staffer Steve Moore) who finished on top with 123 points.

Finishing second was "Kurthi's Fantastic Bracket" (114 points) and third was "Jeffrey's Notable Bracket" (112 points).

All three of those readers will win $20 American Express Gift Cards from The Mercury.

If you are any of those three, please email Steve Moore at smoore@pottsmerc.com with your name, address and phone number.

Thanks for playing!

You love sports, we love sports. Who doesn't love the NCAA Tournament?

Here at the Mercury, we decided to put our readers to the test with an NCAA Tournament Bracket Challenge!

If you don't have a Yahoo! account, you can easily make one for free.

The deadline to enter is Thursday at noon!

Our top three finishers will receive yet-to-be-determined prizes from The Mercury -- likely gift cards or sports tickets -- as well as all-important bragging rights on your block.

Members of The Mercury staff will also join in (but not be eligible for prizes), so see if you can beat the (not-so) experts!
