March Madness (the awesome annual 64-team college basketball tournament) kicks off at the end of this week and to celebrate I’m hosting a fun, free, and prize-rewarding competition just for The CRT Crew!

The best part? Not only will the top 3 participants each receive a $10 Teachers Pay Teachers gift card, but the winner will also be mailed a batch of my wife’s famous sea salt chocolate chip cookies!

Contest Rules & Regulations

1. You must be a member of The CRT Crew in order to win (if you aren’t yet a subscriber to my email list, click here to become one!).
2. You may only enter 1 bracket (no doubling up to increase your chances of winning!).
3. Once the first game tips off on Friday the contest will officially begin, so no entries will be allowed after that point.
4. If you’re one of my friends from England, the Philippines, or some other awesome place far away and you come in 1st place I may not be able to mail my wife’s cookies to you (it would probably be too expensive and they might not still be fresh by they time they get to you!). Instead, I’ll offer you an extra gift card in addition to the $10 TPT one you’ll already be receiving. Thanks for understanding!

How Do You Enter this Super Fun Contest?

To participate, all you have to do is CLICK HERE or on the basketball image below. Then follow the instructions to create your own (free) account and fill out your bracket!

The tournament begins this Friday (March 19th) so if you want to be eligible for a prize (gift cards and cookies!), be sure to make your picks by then!

Two Extra Notes

1. You don’t have to know ANYTHING about basketball! In fact, every year that I’ve participated in something like this I’ve been beaten by others who knew little to nothing about the teams they were picking! Consult all kinds of expert advise if you want, or just pick teams at random. It’s fun to play regardless of your knowledge or fandom and you’ll still have a definite chance of winning!
2. If you’re one of my friends from England, the Philippines, or some other awesome place far away and you come in 1st place I may not be able to mail my wife’s cookies to you (it would probably be too expensive and they might not still be fresh by they time they get to you!). Instead, I’ll offer you an extra gift card in addition to the $10 TPT one you’ll already be receiving. Thanks for understanding!

God bless, good luck, and go Hawks! 😉
