The annual Off the Block NCAA Men’s Volleyball Postseason Bracket Challenge gives fans the opportunity to predict who will win matches in the four-team NCAA Tournament, along with the three conference tournaments.

The No. 2 seed UC Irvine will play the No. 3 seed Loyola in the first semifinal and the No. 1 seed BYU will play the No. 4 seed Penn State in the other semifinal.

Bracket challenge participants can fill out their bracket online at challonge.com or at the bottom of this post. Before filling out a bracket, individuals will be asked to create an account on Challonge. Creating an account on Challonge is free and takes less than a minute to complete.

Thee individual who has the highest combined score on all four brackets — MPSF Tournament, MIVA Tournament, EIVA Tournament and NCAA Tournament — will receive a NCAA V5M5000-3N game ball from Molten USA.

In the event of a tie for first place at the end of the bracket challenge, one contestant from the first-place brackets will be randomly selected for the grand prize. The winner will also be notified via their Challonge account.
