Bring "March Madness" to the Office: How to Run a Team Bracket

It’s March. In the sports world, everyone is obsessed with "Brackets." But you don't need to know anything about basketball to use this energy for team building.

The Tournament Bracket is the ultimate engagement tool because it forces a choice. This or That?

Here is how to run a company-wide tournament using RiLiFi Polls.

Idea 1: The "Ultimate Snack" Bracket

This is the safest and most passionate debate you will ever have.

• Round 1: Pizza vs. Tacos / Burgers vs. Sushi.
• Round 2: The winners face off.
• The Final: The whole company votes live. (Warning: This might cause friendly arguments).

Idea 2: The "Tech Stack" Battle

For engineering teams, make it nerdy.

• The Matchup: "Dark Mode" vs. "Light Mode."
• The Matchup: "Tabs" vs. "Spaces."

How to Run It

You don't need paper. Run it as a series of Live Polls in your town hall or Slack channel.

1. Post the match-up ("Vote now: Coffee or Tea?").
2. Share the results instantly.
3. Move the winner to the next round.

Conclusion

It’s silly, low-stakes, and gets people talking about something other than deadlines. Sometimes, that is exactly what the team needs.
