It’s that time of year again. Time to divert your attention from Percentage Gains to Point Guards.

We at StockTwits enjoy competing, and we know you do too. So join our StockTwits $NCAA Bracket Challenge by signing up and submitting your bracket (password: thehumanticker) to compete against your friends here in the StockTwits community and talk some smack.

We’ll be kicking off the contest with simultaneous StockTwits Meetups in all 3 time zones on Friday, March 18th after the market closes. And in honor of the 1st Round of games, StockTwits will pick up the first round of drinks. If you’re in the area, we’ll be hosting MeetUps in these three locations and times:

  • New York City: 5ET. The Hill, 416 3rd Ave b/w 29th & 30th
  • Chicago: 4CT. Tilted Kilt, 17 N. Wabash Ave in the Loop.
  • San Diego: 2PT. PB Bar & Grill, 860 Garnet Ave in Pacific Beach.

So get your brackets filled out and come on out on Friday after the market closes to join the party and root for your teams!

*To collect this “prize” you must fly to San Diego on your own dime, Loser. Also, Howard has to be “in the mood.”
