Now Open: CRN’s 2021 Channel Madness Bracket Contest

Can you predict the outcome of the 2021 CRN Channel Madness Tournament of Chiefs? Voting begins March 18, but you can forecast your bracket winners now.

CRN’s seventh annual Channel Madness Tournament of Chiefs kicks off March 18, pitting some of the channel’s most influential executives against each other in head-to-head battles where CRN readers vote to determine the victors.

The Field of 32 has been set, and readers have a chance to get into the action now by filling out and submitting their bracket predictions before voting begins.

Many fan favorites are back for another run, like Veeam’s Kevin Rooney—last year’s Channel Madness winner—and HP Inc.’s Scott Lannum, who also made it to the final round in 2020. But there are also some new faces in the contest, such as Nutanix’s Christian Alvarez, Scale Computing’s Scott Mann and WatchGuard Technologies’ Michelle Welch.

So how well do you know the big-time players in the channel? Can one of the tournament veterans take the crown? Do you have some real-world experience working with an under-the-radar chief poised for a big run?

It‘s time to take your knowledge of the channel to the masses and try your hand at predicting the perfect bracket. Results will be displayed on the 2021 Channel Madness Bracket Contest leader board, and the top three contestants will win a prize.
