CBS Sports
CBS Corporation CBS has long been the host network for the NCAA tournament. What better way to check your phone than with its official app?
The "My Brackets" section allows you to seamlessly track every bracket you fill out, such as your office pool or competition between friends. CBS also sends you a push notification for each game chosen, so you can find out in real-time how your bracket is performing.
Other Apps
There are also, of course, a number of other apps that can track your performance. Walt Disney Co DIS's ESPN is one of the most popular, along with Yahoo! Inc. YHOO's Yahoo Sports.

Newspaper Cutout
It might be a little old school, but many newspapers around the country allow you to cut out a bracket and fill it in as you go along. Thousands of people surely have taped newspaper cutouts to their bedroom doors, watching the color fade as the month goes by.
Printed Brackets
As newspaper popularity has waned, the Internet has given way to easier access to print dozens and dozens of brackets. Just try not to get too crazy and run your printer out of ink.
