How to Play
The objective of the ZoomTown Hoops Challenge is to accumulate the
most points by correctly selecting the "winning pick" for
each of the sixty-five (65) match-ups associated with the Division
1 men’s college basketball tournament. From all eligible entries
received, the 1st Place Prizewinner will be determined based on accumulating
the most points during the Challenge Period. Scoring for each round
is shown below:
•
First Round – 1 points
•
Second Round – 2 points
•
Third Round – 4 points
•
Fourth Round – 6 points
•
Fifth Round – 8 points
•
Sixth round – 10 points
Entrants are required to submit the answer to one (1) tiebreaker
question to be used for tiebreaking purposes only. The tiebreaker
is a prediction of the total points scored in the championship game.
In
the event that one or more entrants has the same number of points
at the conclusion of the tournament, the entrants’ predicted score
of the championship game will be compared to the actual score of
the championship game. The difference between the predicted total scores
and the actual total score will be calculated, and the entry with
the
smallest total difference is considered the winning entry.
Once the bracket has been submitted, the contestant is officially participating.
Submitted brackets are final. Bracket picks cannot be changed once the
bracket has been submitted and requests to make changes to a submitted
bracket will not be granted. Scores will be tallied and posted as games
are played on the ZoomTown Hoops Challenge webpage under Overall Standings.
The winner will be determined the day following the championship
game. The winner will be notified by email no later than April
8, 2008. If selected entrant cannot be reached by email after
the third attempt,
the entrant shall be disqualified and an alternate entrant will
be selected. The winner will be awarded The Grand Prize. The
odds of winning will
depend on the total number of eligible entries received during
