Some of the biggest names on Wall Street are competing in Bloomberg's March Madness bracket challenge this year, including Mike Bloomberg himself and Bloomberg TV's Stephanie Ruhle, who spearheaded the competition.

There are 42 participants in total, with each pledging $10,000 to play. The jackpot goes to the winner's charity of choice.

Last year's winner, Goldman Sachs COO and President Gary Cohn, is competing again this year. There's also a handful of hedge fund managers, including Bill Ackman and David Einhorn, and some high-profile folks from the banking world, including Jefferies CEO Rich Handler.

This year's brackets will be live on Thursday at noon and you'll be able to check them out here.
