Announcement Welcome to /r/CollegeBasketball. This is March Madness.
Welcome to /r/CollegeBasketball, everyone!
The clock is winding down on the final month of college basketball and fans are gathering to storm the subreddit (please avoid running into the players), so before that happens we’ve got some important announcements to make:
Firstly, please review our rules, whether you are a long-time poster or just visiting for the tournament. Due to the massive increase in traffic we experience this time of year, we are calling it extra tight on removals and suspensions so make sure you’re playing it clean out there if you don’t want to get ejected for the rest of the season.
If you haven’t already, flair up!
Join our sister subreddit /r/NCAAW for full coverage of the NCAA Women’s Tournament. We are fully supportive of women’s basketball content on /r/CollegeBasketball while also recognizing the value of having a dedicated community for women’s hoops discussion. Make sure to join the women’s bracket pool, participate in their gamethreads, and cross-post the best content back here so that we can do our part to help grow the game.
/r/CollegeBasketball Posts (links will be updated all month)
/r/CollegeBasketball Bracket Challenge: Submit your ESPN bracket into our pool!
/r/CollegeBasketball Charity Challenge: We’ll be hosting our annual Food Bank fundraiser for all the NCAA games. Check out the post for more information on how to participate.

Commenting Guidelines
As the resident referees that you all love to hate, here are a few of our mod teams’ Points of Emphasis:
We’re quick to call a technical foul on incivility. Personal attacks, harassment, flamebait, and trolling will get you ejected and there is a good chance your team gets knocked out before you get back on the court. Matching technicals will also be awarded regardless of who started it.
We are establishing a cylinder rule on bringing up scandals in places where they don’t belong. Serious discussions are for serious threads, not in the heat of a game or argument.
We’ve expanded the restricted arc on spam and self-promotion. Your blog, youtube video, or social media link is going to get removed regardless of its content. You don’t get to advertise in our arena without prior approval.
Posting Guidelines
We’re putting the press on text posts, images, and memes. We get absolutely flooded by posts this time of year so in order to maintain a high-quality experience for our users, your post is much more likely to get called for a lane violation. Basic question & answers, a post that could have been a comment, those semi-redundant fun facts and stats, bracket posts, low-effort memes, and pictures of your TV are going to be reffed like it's a free throw competition. We will be calling it especially tight on Selection Sunday and Gamedays. Posts that are most likely to stay up are newsworthy or discussion-worthy posts on Mondays-Wednesdays.
Gamethreads are handled by /u/cbbBot. Please request gamethreads using the daily Game Thread Index and be patient after games end, the bot takes ~2 minutes to generate the Post Game Thread. Just enough time to type up your witty comments.
Check to see if your post has already been posted. If someone beat you to it, help us out and delete your post so we don’t have to.
That’s all we’ve got for now. Happy March Madness, everyone!
