Every March, when the nation descends into basketball-fueled madness, one tournament rises above the rest — not because of ESPN coverage or sponsorship deals, but because it’s fueled entirely by pride, group chat banter, and blind confidence. Welcome to Jack McLaughlin’s March Madness Bracket Invitational — or as the veterans call it, JMMMBI — a virtual battleground where friendships are tested, underdogs are celebrated, and questionable basketball knowledge reigns supreme.
Four years ago, a few friends sat around at Nomads Cantina and pondered about who really knew college basketball best. The result? Absolute chaos — and the birth of the JMMMBI. What started as a casual online bracket group quickly evolved into a yearly ritual of bad predictions (Purdue winning it all), dramatic comebacks (2025 Florida in the Elite Eight), and group chat debates that last longer than most brackets do.
With more than 50 participants expected this season, the stakes have never been higher. The leaderboard is ruthless, the predictions bold, and the heartbreak inevitable. Some play with spreadsheets, others with gut instinct but, only one will emerge victorious. Every year, someone’s bracket becomes legend, and someone else swears they’re retiring forever.
This Invitational isn’t just about basketball, it’s about connection. Over the years, JMMMBI has grown into a tight-knit community where rivalries burn bright, and the banter never stops. Here, legends are born, egos are shattered, and every buzzer-beater sparks chaos in the group chat. It’s competitive, ridiculous, and we love it that way.
From day one, the JMMMBI has been proudly virtual, no gyms, no arenas, just pure digital madness. But this year marks a new era: the launch of our official website. Finally, the Invitational has a permanent home where participants can track the action, celebrate upsets, and immortalize our champion all in one glorious place.
Winning the JMMMBI isn’t just about points — it’s about pride, redemption, and eternal bragging rights. Champions are celebrated, underdogs become heroes, and bold picks can turn ordinary players into Invitational icons. When the dust settles, only one name stands at the top, and that name will be remembered, and go down as one of the greatest bracketologist the world has ever seen.
Season 4 is here, bigger, higher stakes, and far more competitive than ever before. Whether you’re a veteran or a newcomer, you’re part of something special: a community of fans united by passion, competition, and chaos. Welcome to Jack McLaughlin’s March Madness Bracket Invitational, where the only certainty is uncertainty.
