619 Entrants – The Biggest Biggest Dance Ever

This year marks the 42nd anniversary of The Biggest Dance, a tournament invented by The Commissioner for the purpose of providing a unique way to challenge the hearts and minds of friends around the globe during March Madness. Founded in 1983, when “PE” meant gym class, Claude was just a painter, and “working remotely” meant yelling down the hallway—The Biggest Dance has stood the test of time.

Beginning on Sunday, March 15, 2026, The Biggest Dance returns, ensuring three weeks of passion, thrills, reduced workplace productivity and, for the lucky few, extraordinary profits. For the uninitiated, The Biggest Dance is the most exciting, most fulfilling, most awe-inspiring NCAA Men’s Championship Bracket Selection Competition ever invented. The Biggest Dance is also known for ROI – having delivered a 27,050% return on investment (no kidding!) to our 2025 lucky winner (because apparently blind optimism is an undervalued asset class).

Please plan to visit us at www.thebiggestdance.com any time after 8:00 PM (EDT) on Sunday, March 15. Follow the links on the Home Page for first-timers and seasoned Dancers to enter your picks on RunYourPool and create an account if necessary – note that RunYourPool will ONLY be used for pick entry. ALL SCORING AND THE LEADERBOARD WILL CONTINUE TO BE ADMINISTERED ON www.thebiggestdance.com. Join us at The Biggest Dance, where our seasoned Tourney veterans step onto the floor with unsuspecting newcomers, all convinced this is their year (spoiler: it’s not)! Everyone is encouraged to recruit naïve, innocent lambs to be led to the slaughterhouse join the fun. All are welcome – whether you’ve been following the tournament for years or you just realized this isn’t a dancing competition, the Biggest Dance is for you.

The Biggest Dance features easy accessibility through The Biggest Dance Website, three weeks of nerve-wracking suspense, frequent updates to keep Dancers riveted and lots of good, wholesome fun. As in past years, the 4 “play-in” games which begin on March 17th to establish the field of 64, need not be picked – we will handle “play-ins” as we have in the past: you will not be required to select the “play-in” game winner, rather you will be permitted to select the “winner of the play-in game” as the victor in future rounds. If this is confusing to you, then you are a perfect candidate to enter The Biggest Dance.

To repeat, the rules of engagement remain the same and will be posted at www.thebiggestdance.com, the official home of The Biggest Dance. All entries must be submitted electronically through the link on the homepage of the website. The draw will be posted on Sunday, March 15 and entries will be accepted until 12:00 PM (EDT) on Thursday, March 19.

The Biggest Dance Blog will again provide a public roasting pit on The Biggest Dance website, beginning Sunday evening. The BDBlog will be available 24/7 throughout March Madness. Feel free to visit now, www.thebiggestdance.com, and share your brilliance, insight or rants with your fellow Dancers.

As it has been for 42 years, the entry donation remains $100. For all you penny-pinchers out there, the $100 entry-fee has purchasing power parity with $333 for your dad (or maybe, you) in 1983 – yes, The Biggest Dance may be the biggest bargain in sports! The top eight finishers will receive prize money, keeping Dancers riveted until the bitter end. However, don’t be discouraged if your bracket gets busted in the first round – we love strugglers here, so the bottom three will be receiving plaques to commemorate their pitiful performance.

Stay tuned to The Biggest Dance website, www.thebiggestdance.com, for the rules, updates and a host of other surprises. Buckle up and enjoy the show!
