[Electronics-talk] off-topic: accessible NCAA bracket & tournament pool

[William T. Miller]

Dear list:

 

Please excuse this annual off-topic post. A former colleague and web
accessibility expert has posted an accessible NCAA bracket and tournament
pool at http://terrillthompson.com/ncaa. Although the bracket is visual in
nature, Terry (my former colleague (does an amazing job of structuring the
document so that it is accessible by screenreader or other assistive
technology. The tournament pool guides you through the process of completing
your bracket and enters you into a competition with other participants.
Terry creates the website each year as a hobby and asks nothing in return. 

 

I hope some of you will consider participating and will pass this
information to your friends and colleagues, particularly those who could
benefit from the accessible features of the bracket. The webpage was just
completed today because of the short turnaround between tournament selection
and the start of the competition. As a result, there's not much time to
complete the bracket. The games that count for purposes of the pool start
tomorrow night, so don't delay if you want to compete in the pool!

 

Thank you,

 

Will
