The All Star Season Begins on Feb 22, 2023

The All Star Season is almost here! Here’s the timeline:

  • On Wednesday, February 22, we will reveal the 22 teams in the bracket and release scouting reports reviewing each team in the tournament. This year, the scouting reports were authored by 131 collaborators from 19 fellowship programs and 2 private practice groups, including 79 fellows, 41 faculty, 5 residents, and 6 medical students. What an amazing collaboration!
  • For those of you in training programs or other groups, consider using these scouting reports and their associated base articles for a journal club or didactic session.
  • Along with the scouting reports, we will release new RheumMadness podcast episodes where we dive deeper into each team and interview the authors of the scouting reports about why they think their team will win. The RheumMadness podcast series is available on all major podcasting apps.
  • You can submit your brackets anytime between Wednesday, February 22 and Wednesday, March 22, 2023.  That means you have 4 WEEKS to learn about the teams and make your picks.
  • Submitting a bracket is FREE and easy. We will provide detailed instructions to submit your brackets when the tournament begins.
  • Results from each round of the tournament will be announced as follows:
    • Thursday, March 23: Round 1 (Round of 22)
    • Saturday, March 25: Round 2 (The Seronegative Sixteen)
    • Monday, March 27: Round 3 (The Entheseal Eight)
    • Saturday, April 1: Round 4 (The IgG Four)
