Accessible NCAA Tournament Bracket 2009

Congratulations to the North Carolina Tar Heels on winning the 2009 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament! For those of you who were rooting for somebody else, "there's always next year". If you found this bracket to be useful, or if you have ideas for how to make it even more useful in 2010, please drop me a line. Thanks!

This site, the Accessible NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament Bracket, is my experiment in making March Madness more accessible to basketball fans with disabilities, particularly those using non-visual interfaces such as screen readers.
