The 2011 boys basketball playoffs start Tuesday night, but you can get in the action already thanks to the Pick 'Em Contest run annually by our intrepid message board posters. WSN regulars NRHSTIGER and peckulease have taken the reins from Hoopsaddict, who had previously run the contest, and set up the brackets on BracketMaker.com.

It is simple and free to join. You need to create a free account on the Bracket Maker website, then follow using the links below select the winner of each game all the way to the state championship for each team. It is all in good fun, although if you want to hold bragging rights over your friends for the best score, by all means!

WSN will help make it even more exciting by providing prizes for the top overall finisher and the top finisher for each division. The top overall finisher will receive both a WSN t-shirt and a WSN hat. The winners of each division will receive WSN hats.

The contest is open to anyone. It is recommended that you sign up on Bracket Maker with the same username that you use on WisSports.net so the winners can be easily tracked and contacted. If you need to set up a free account on WisSports, you can do so by clicking here.
