Last year more than 22,000 entries were made in the Air Force’s National Collegiate Athletic Association Division 1 Men’s Basketball Championship online bracket tournament promotion. And this year promises to be even
bigger.
The AF Hoops promotion gives Air Force sports fans (eligible ID cardholders over the age of 18) the chance to win big prizes by selecting teams in the NCAA Division 1 Men’s Basketball Championship Tournament.
“The beauty of it is you don’t have to get the teams right to win prizes,” said Fred McKenney, AF Food and Beverage Division chief. “You have a chance to win just by registering and entering your bracket selections.”
Beginning Feb. 15, participants can pick up a game piece at participating food and beverage activities, including Air Force bowling centers, golf courses and clubs (no purchase required) and register online using the code on the game piece. Then, on March 14, fill in the tournament bracket selections. Up to 10 brackets may be played. Picks can be made and changed, but final picks for all rounds must be submitted by 6 a.m. EST March 18. Participants must be 18 years or older.
“In addition to the online tournament, folks should stop by one of our activities. They are great places to watch the games,” said Frank Black, Air Force Services Agency acting director of programs. “We’ve partnered with Coke to provide
some great prizes.”
The first place prize of $10,000 is sponsored by Coca Cola. The second place winner receives $5,000, third place wins $2,500 and fourth place wins $1,000.
The NCAA Men’s Division 1 Championship Tournament has been a mainstay for sport aficionados for decades. Now, even the novice can take part in this fun and exciting event while enjoying food and beverage specials as well.
