This year, the Herald Journal will conduct a college basketball brackets contest on its web site.
Similar to many other online contests, you simply pick the winners of all the games before the tournament starts.
There are a number of prizes available, on both local and national levels, for round winners as well as an overall champion.
Brackets are now available at the Herald Journal’s web site, and must be completed at least 20 minutes before the first game begins Thursday, March 18 – approximately 10:30 a.m.
In the local portion, anyone of any age may participate, but winners must be from the Herald Journal market area (see the included ZIP codes on web site).
Nationally, there is a $1 million prize for a perfect bracket; $10,000 for one or two wrong picks; and $1,000 for three wrong picks; plus other prizes each round. To be eligible for national prizes, you must be 18 or older. See complete rules online for details.
As an added incentive, you can also compare your picks to those of the three Herald Journal sports editors and sponsors’ VIP pickers.
To participate or get familiar with the contest before it begins, just follow the link from www.herald-journal.com.
