March Madness is HERE and we’re giving away at least $850 in PRIZES!
Here is how you can join the fun!
Step ONE – Join the bracket here! https://fantasy.espn.com/tournament.../2021/en/group...
(Note, you will need to create an account if you don’t have one already. If the link doesn't work and you need a game name, it’s “IowaCC” and the password is “Iowa”)
Step TWO – Use your FIRST and LAST name and SCHOOL for your bracket name. Example: John Doe NCC or Jane Smith KCC or Jim Smith DMACC. Tiebreaker is the total points in the national title game.
Top winners announced on April 9th
-FIRST place = $200
-SECOND place = $100
-THIRD place = $50
PLUS: $100 awarded to the winner of each of the first four rounds! (not including play-in games) In the event of a tie at the end of the round, $50 will be given to up to three students. If 4 or more students tie for a round, a random draw of all who are tied will occur with three students each winning $50 for that round. We’ll also be giving away five $20 gift cards to random students just for participating!
**ALL winners will receive Amazon Gift Cards.**
The fine print stuff: Brackets will lock once the first game starts. The website will score the brackets and update scores after each individual game. Advisors of the colleges across the state will work together and have the right to edit the rules of this competition along the way if necessary. You MUST be a registered student at an Iowa Community College in order to win any prizes. You are limited to ONE bracket per student.
Please direct any questions to Trevor (llrchelp@nwicc.edu) or Jena (jjschouten@nwicc.edu).
