March Madness hits the Hub

The first project of your Recreation Committee! If you work in the hub you can take your chances at winning a draw for up to $510!

On March 15^th 68 US College Basketball teams will begin a showdown that lasts until April 2^nd. This showdown is traditionally known as NCAA March Madness. 

For $10 a team you can buy into the fun and take your chances at winning up to $510.

Here’s how our March Madness Draw will work:

• You don’t have to be a basketball fan to play
• A March Madness Draw grid with 68 slots will be posted in a common area within the Hub on March 4th

• Sign up for a team in one of the 68 slots … or pay $20 and take 2 slots and so on. Once all the slots are filled, the draw is closed.
• Once the draw is closed, a random draw is conducted to determine who gets which team
• During March Madness, if your team is eliminated from the tournament, so are you from the Draw. If your team wins the tournament, you win the money!
• A leader board will be posted with up-to-date results on tournament play
• Pay Beth Cotter from Grey KW your entrance money
• You can share a team, more than one person can agree to buy a Draw slot (if you win you split your winnings)
• Only people working within the Hub  are eligible to play
• Minimum number of entries to the March Madness Draw is 15. If we do not get 15 players, the draw will not take place and those who have given cash will be refunded in full. 
• Entry closes on March 11^th at NOON, your team will be revealed on or before that date
•  25% of all the funds collected will be donated to a registered charity of the March Madness Draw winner’s choice. 
• Team trash talk is allowed and encouraged

There are 68 US College teams participating in NCAA March Madness.
