I thought I had posted this, but I guess not, *shrugs.* 

The PSA set up a figure skating version of the NCAA "March Madness" for basketball.  They've paired up classic skaters' programs to create brackets.  There's a paper form that you can use to make your predictions.  I think it's just for fun and bragging rights, lol.

Here's the Facebook link: https://www.facebook.com/events/342890099165385/permalink/344288599025535/

This is the pdf document: http://www.skatepsa.com/PDF%20Documents/PSA-Rocker-Bracket-Challenge.pdf

There's no real "entry" so no harm done if this is the first time you're hearing about it - just join the fun today, before the first brackets are decided.
