The timeline for the 2026 Manie Musicale is as follows:
teacher registration (for voting, to get your school on the participant map, and to gain access to the teacher only results space) is from December 1, 2025 to March 1, 2026
have students complete brackets by March 3, 2026; these are their predictions of who will win (teachers keep track of their own students' brackets; there is no national entry system for individual students)
voting begins on Wednesday, March 4th; teachers will tally their students' vote and submit a count to us via Google Form
voting opens by 7:30 a.m. on the first voting day and ends at 8:00 p.m. on the second voting day (Eastern Standard Time)
each vote/matchup goes over two days (Monday/Tuesday, Wednesday/Thursday, Friday/Saturday)
results and reveal videos will be posted on this site and on our YouTube channel after a delay of a few days to prevent "spoilers"; registered and verified teachers only will have early access to results & reveal videos as soon as they are available (please do NOT share links with students)
voting ends the day after the NCAA men's basketball championship ends
Note that we follow the actual NCAA Men's College Basketball March Madness dates. We extend votes over two days to allow for teachers in various timezones and with alternating day schedules. Unfortunately, we cannot account for each individual school's vacation time. Do your best to play along in whatever way works for you. Do a search in our Facebook group for suggestions and tips.
