It’s been a great NCAA Tournament and as we now have the Elite Eight, our widget has been updated. The widget will now by default load with the Elite Eight bracket view. However, we have added the ability for you to specify which view you would like as the default view for your own widget. You will be presented with a selection screen when you try to grab the embed code or try to post the widget to a social network or site.

You can select from the EAST, MIDWEST, SOUTH, WEST or ELITE EIGHT brackets as the default view. Also, if you decide to change he default view later, just grab the code again and select the new view as the default.

Don’t forget, this widget is enabled as a Facebook App.

One of our readers dropped us a link to a NCAA Tournament bracket tracker. The widget is distributed via WidgetBox and comes with the usual host of features provided by their platform.

You start off by selecting the teams for your bracket. To do this, all you have to do is step through the choices presented to you and in seconds (or minutes if you’re indecisive) the bracket will be filled out for you. Grab the code or sent to your favorite location via the WidgetBox distribution tool.

The widget will display your bracket selections with indications of whether you’re correct or not. It’s a pretty straight forward and simple tool for keeping track of and showing off your tournament bracket selections. There’s no registration or special requirements so it’s easy to setup and use.

Tourney Madness (description from about page):

Choose who you think will win in this year’s NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament.

User the bracket builder to make your selection, put the widget on your site, share with your friends!

This widget keeps track of what you got right and what you go wrong and keeps track of your score.

BTW, those aren’t really our picks. It’s just the highest seeded teams…

We’ve been looking, but haven’t found any good widgets for the NCAA Tournament. If anyone knows of any, please let us know. In the meantime, we’ve built a pretty simple widget that displays the tournament bracket. The widget will auto update the bracket every 60 seconds.

Feel free to grab the widget for yourself. This was built for ourselves so don’t expect too much. However, we may update the widget occasionally.

March Madness is well underway, don’t miss any of the action…

Update #1: in-progress game times were added along with making this a Tournament Bracket Facebook App
