The Women’s National Championship game will be played Sunday, Apr. 4, and the Men’s Championship game is Monday, Apr. 5.
Prizes will be awarded after the tournament to the most successful bracket-makers, so keep an eye on your email– Mark Tiemeier will let you know how to claim your reward!
Prizes for the men’s bracket include:
- 1st prize – Pop-a-Shot Arcade Basketball Game
- 2nd prize – $100 Gift Card from Jeff Ruby Culinary Entertainment
- 3rd prize – Solid Chocolate Basketball (4 lbs) + $20 Skyline Gift Card
- 4th prize – Two $25 Amazon Gift Cards
Women’s bracket prizes are still being assembled, but 1st prize is a Fitbit Fitness Tracker Bundle, including an Aria Air Smart Scale and an Inspire HR tracker.
Other women’s bracket prizes will be announced… but they will be no less valuable that the already-confirmed prizes for the men’s bracket.
And remember, even if your men’s bracket is busted by tonight, you still can play, and win! So enjoy the Madness!
