ESPN Group Bracket Mash Meta
Have a group on ESPN for the NCAA tournament? I've been working on a nifty little tool for a group myself and my friends are in and have decided to open it up. The purpose of the tool is two-fold:

  • See all your individual brackets at once on 1 large group bracket so you can compare picks easily, and see who lost different teams all at the same time
  • See the individual scores all on 1 bracket, and updated faster than ESPN updates the group pages. ESPN marks your individual brackets within a few minutes of a game ending, but the overall group page doesn't update scores until much later. In this utility, I score the brackets based on the markings, so you can get your group scores quicker.
The issue with mashing the brackets up like this is that it can get very large. So this mashup takes the current top 7 individuals from the group page at any given time, and mashes those together. In order to avoid getting banned for hitting ESPN too frequently, your group mashups will update every 10 minutes.

Let me know what you think in the comments...I am considering this a work in progress right now.

You can find the mashup here: ESPN Bracket Mash
