Dear Lillie: 2017 FREE Big Dance Downloadable Basketball Bracket

I hope you all are having a wonderful week! We've gotten so many e-mails over the last couple of months asking if we were going to do offer the free download for the 2017 tournament like we did for 2016, 2015 and 2014. And yes, we did! We posted it on our website Monday but didn't do a blog post about it but after getting some more e-mails figured we had better mention it here on the blog too. Along with the chalkboard version we also offer it with a white background. To download the chalkboard version just click here. And at the bottom of that page there's a link to the white background version. If you want instructions on how we recommend printing the chalkboard version in the 24" by 36" size you can read this tutorial here and it also tells you how to build a basic frame for it if you'd like to do that as well too.

Because we left that oversized chalkboard in our last kitchen for the new owners and I haven't had time to make a frame for this year's download because I am working on several other projects we just pinned it right onto the wall in our new house. I actually have some artwork that I have planned for that spot and it just arrived but I am afraid this poster is going to be up for a few more weeks before I can take it down and hang the prints. Ha!

We all fill out our own smaller brackets and then use this one as kind of a scoreboard to keep track of who advances. When I took these photos this afternoon only a couple of games had finished (Go Irish!):

Here's the chalkboard version:

And here is the basic white version:
