[Jayhawk-Chapter] Fwd: Change to tournament bracket this year

[Rob Tabor]

Hello Jayhawk Federation family,
Below is a forwarded message from Terrill Thompson  Who will not be hosting inaccessible NCAA tournament bracket this year. He is instead encouraging us to try the ESPN bracket which may or may not be screen screen reader accessible by the time the tournament begins. Although I will be testing the website before the opening rounds begin, all of you may do as you see fit. The same holds true with regard to any donations you were planning to make to the chapter. Meanwhile, have a good week and go Jayhawks!
Best regards,
Rob

> In case you were hoping to use the Accessible Bracket site for an NFB fundraiser again, I wanted to give you an early heads-up that I won't be hosting the bracket this year in its usual form. Instead, I'm gonna steer everyone toward the ESPN Tournament Challenge, and am working on a userscript that will help to make that more accessible.  I would say you could use that for your fund-raiser, but I can't guarantee how accessible I'll be able to make it since I can't access the site until the pairings are announced. I'm cautiously optimistic though. ESPN has actually done some work on their website accessibility.  They still have a ways to go, but they're doing a few things right now, which is an improvement.
