March Madness 'Elite Eight' Contest
Here at ROI we're just crazy for statistics, and being in the heart of college basketball country, we also go a little nuts at tournament time. So we decided to have a little office pool where the winner gets a free lunch.
In the same spirit, we'd like to give you the opportunity to participate in the fun! Instead of picking the entire tournament, however, you just need to pick the winners from the elite eight on. Why? Well, we're giving you the opportunity to win a gorgeous pearl necklace (valued at $500) from Magnums Jewelers at www.magnums.net just in time for mother's day. All you have to do is send us your picks before the first Sweet Sixteen game on March 22nd!
Here's how:
1. Pick your elite eight, final four, final and champion on our entry form.
2. Fill out some simple contact info so that we can let you know if you've won the beautiful $500 pearl necklace.
3. Sit back and watch the action! If your entry has picked the most winners, then you'll win the prize!
There are a few simple rules:
You can only enter the contest once. If you submit multiple entries, or try to submit multiple entries, you will be automatically disqualified.
You must fill out the required fields on the form completely, so that we can get in touch with you should you win. Any incomplete or junk submissions will not even be looked at.
You need to enter before the first Sweet Sixteen game begins on March 22nd. No entries that occur after the start of the first game on the 22nd will be considered.
That's pretty much it! In the event of a tie, the entries with the most correct selections will be put into a pool, where the winner will be selected by a random drawing.
About the prize: For over 140 years, Magnums have offered a wide selection of great prices on top brand name jewelry, handbags, watches from Longchamp, Polo, Charriol jewelry, Swiss Army, TechnoMarine watches, Lilly Pulitzer, Heidi Klum, and Hermes. They're really your one-stop boutique for quality brands and friendly customer service. If you really want to dazzle "that special someone" this year, you could drop $500 on a absolutely stunning pearl necklace, or you could just submit your guesses for this year's NCAA men's basketball tournament! Seems like a pretty good deal to me.
Over the course of the next few weeks, we will be posting some of our picks here at the office (sadly, we cannot win the awesome prize), and as soon as we have collected all the entries and the tournament ends, we will be announcing the winner!
So what are you waiting for? Hurry to espn and do some homework! Fill out your entry now before it's too late!
Be sure to spread the word! Have fun, and good luck to everyone who enters!
