Elevation Outdoors Magazine Bracket Brawl Top Adventure College Tournament Launches Monday, May 11

What’s the best outdoor school in the Rockies and Southwest?
Beginning May 11, Elevation Outdoors’ Top Adventure College Tournament will
ask readers to answer that question and pick the winners. Here’s how it works:
Colleges and universities meet in head-to-head matchups in a 32-school bracket.
In each contest, the school receiving the most votes advances to the next round.
Larger schools with over 11,000 students go head-to-head on one side of the
bracket, while smaller schools with fewer than 11,000 students square off on the
other side. The finalists from each side face off in a David-meets-Goliath
championship to determine the best outdoor school. The initial 32 colleges and
universities were selected for their outdoor clubs and curricula, their commitment
to outdoor and environmental initiatives, the quality of their outdoor athletes and
programs and their opportunities for adventure.

Will your alma mater take the tournament crown? Rally students, alumni and
supporters around your college or university. Voting begins May 11 at
ElevationOutdoors.com.

Each week, winners advance to the next round of the tournament:

Round of 32: May 11-18
Sweet 16: May 18-26
Elite 8: May 26-June 1
Final Four: June 1-8
Championship: June 8-15
