March Madness
The brackets on ESPN are free to fill out, and they automatically tell you what percentile you’re in as the tournament goes along. The skill needed to fill out the bracket is only the ability to click on one team or the other. I helped Mikey see which ones he needed to choose first to complete round 1 before moving on.
Another easy example of free inclusion…and if you think about it, zillions of college basketball experts get picks wrong early in the tournament. So, your child has as good a chance as anyone of picking the winners.
