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 top entry 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 top 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 Pool Details/Current Standings.
