Sign up to enter and win the $100 Grand Prize in
our
Basketball Tournament Contest |
March 14, 2018 |
March Madness is here, and somehow this madness
has affected us here at Boundary County Live and
NewsBF. We are sponsoring a contest where
you could win $100, if your basketball
tournament bracket is good enough.
All you have to do to enter to win the Grand
Prize ($100) is put together your best
basketball bracket for the men's tournament, and
enter your bracket in the Boundary County
Live-NewsBF group in the ESPN.com Tournament
Challenge. When the Tournament Champion is
crowned on Monday, April 2, the first place
bracket in the Boundary County Live-NewsBF group
will win the Grand Prize. It's that easy!
But wait, there's more! If you enter our
contest, you aren't limited to just one
bracket—we will let you enter
two brackets
in our contest.
Entries in this exciting contest will
close on Thursday, March 15, at approximately
9:00 a.m., when the first game of the Tournament
begins, so don't wait, get your entry in soon.
Here are the Eleven Easy Steps to follow to
enter the contest:
1. See the official rules by
CLICKING HERE
2. Go to ESPN.com. If you already
have an account on ESPN.com, sign in to your
account. If you don't already have an
account, click on LOG IN, then click on SIGN UP
3. Follow the instructions you will see to
set up an account on ESPN.com. Along the
way, you will be asked to select your "ESPN
Name," which is the screen name you will be
known by on the ESPN website.
4. Once you are set up and have an
account, click on the red box that says:
"Fill Out Your Bracket." Or you can click
on the menu on the left side of the page "Start
Your Bracket"
5. Once you have expertly filled in your
bracket and submitted it, you are ready to join
our Group for the contest. On the left
side of the screen, just below where the name of
your bracket is listed, click on "Create or Join
a Group."
6. Scroll down on this page until you find
the Search box that says "Search Groups."
7. Enter the name of our Group in this
search box. Our group is named
"BoundaryCountyLive-NewsBF" Search for and
find that group.
8. Click the blue button "Join Group"
9. In the drop-down area that opens up,
click to checkmark the box next to the name of
the bracket you would like to enter in our
contest. (This checkbox is to the right of
the name of your bracket). Or, if you have
already created two brackets, click on the box
next to each bracket to enter two brackets.
You will next need to enter our Secret Group
Password. In the box that says "Group
Password," enter our password, which is
"boundary madness" (Shhhhh--don't tell
anyone). Once you have selected the
bracket you wish to enter in our contest and
have entered our password, click on the blue box
that says "Join Group."
10. You are now in our Group! You
can now follow along, check back to ESPN.com
once in a while, and see how your bracket is
doing in the Group during the Tournament!
11. You're not quite done yet. Since
everyone is listed in our group under their ESPN
screen name, we won't have any way of knowing
what is the real name of the person who wins the
contest. So, to finish your entry in the
contest, please send an e-mail to
bracket-contest@newsbf.com and provide us
the following information: Your ESPN name,
your real name, and a valid e-mail and telephone
number for communicating with you. This
information is necessary so we can put a name to
the anonymous bracket information on ESPN.com
and thus determine the winners of our contest.
And so we can contact the winner of the contest
and send them their prize. And because sending
this e-mail is also a contest rule.
Remember, you can make two brackets and enter
both in our contest.
Please see all contest rules by
CLICKING HERE.
And remember this, the first game of the
Tournament begins Thursday, March 15, at
approximately 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time..
Once that game begins, our Group WILL BE CLOSED,
no more entries will be allowed in (or out).
So---get your entry in RIGHT AWAY!
Because, today is pretty much the LAST DAY to
enter--up until the first game begins tomorrow
morning. Don't delay, and GOOD LUCK!
