Why? They should drop the "race" from "bracket race" and call it "bracket". Its not racing. Any way you slice it , its not racing.

Not at all , im not better than anyone. Bracket racing is fun, just not fun or exciting to watch. Thats why most people dont watch. I was not belittling it in any other way other that its not exciting to watch and that i dont consider it racing, because you r not actually racing anything in turms of first to the finish line.
To be successful at it it takes the same kind of drving skills as any other racing.
