Schoolwide March Madness Bracket Competition

In just over a week, March Madness (the national championship tournament for college basketball) will commence, along with official bracket competitions through ESPN.

On behalf of the D’23’s Class Fundraising, we will be having a school-wide March Madness bracket competition where you can enter your own bracket(s) to guess which team you think will win the entire tournament. This is a great way to have some fun and friendly competition with your fellow classmates, colleagues, and faculty members.

In case you weren’t already excited, there are also prizes for the top 3 winners. We are starting the prizes at:

1st place – $100 visa gift card
2nd place – $50 visa gift card
3rd place – $25 visa gift card

But if the interest is high and we have a lot of people join the group, we will DOUBLE the prize amounts and add a prize for 4th place as well ($200, $100, $50 and $25). If you have done this before, you know how easy and fun it is, and if not, this is a great opportunity to experience this for the first time.

Registering and creating a bracket takes less than 5 minutes, so it’s quick and easy! If you would like to learn more about what this tournament is, CLICK HERE! We also have attached step-by-step instructions on how to make a free ESPN account, sign into the group, and set your bracket.

The cost per bracket is ONLY $5, or if you are a bargain hunter, you can get a “free bracket”, as it is $20 for 5 brackets. This is a GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY to claim some “friendly” bragging rights over your fellow classmates and faculty for the next year.

Payments must be made on Venmo (see the attached instructions sheet) to join the competition. The deadline for joining the group and filling out your bracket is 11:59AM on Friday, March 19th, 2021, so don’t wait, as this opportunity won’t wait for you. The first date you can fill out your bracket is 1PM on Sunday March 14th, 2021.

ALL INSTRUCTIONS FOR SIGNING UP, JOINING THE GROUP, MAKING A BRACKET and PAYMENT ARE ATTACHED. | March Madness Signup Instructions
