2015 march madness brackets1/30/2024 ![]() ![]() At the same time, many of the "daily fantasy sports" websites will be offering contests involving the selection of players (rather than teams) during March Madness. In addition to the 'big three,' there are also many other contests and sweepstakes already available on the web involving the NCAA Tournament - a few of which even seem to charge entry fees in violation of federal and state law. The CBS contest is open to not only those based in the United States, but also those located in Puerto Rico and Canada (excluding Quebec). Instead, it does offer one "grand prize" of four 2016 Final Four tickets and $6,000 cash to help cover the cost of attendance to a "randomly-selected Participant who is among the top ten percent (10%) of eligible point scorers." Thus, the CBS "grand prize" winner does not even need to be exceptionally good in making tournament picks. ![]() The minimum age for entry is the legal age of consent, as defined by each state (18 in most states, 19 in Alabama and Nebraska).įinally, CBS, once again, is hosting its annual Free Bracket Challenge, which, like last year, is sponsored by Infinity - a company listed on the CBS website as as "an official corporate sponsor of NCAA basketball." Like the ESPN contest, the CBS contest does not guarantee a prize for the perfect bracket. Entry is available only to those based in the United States. The winner of the Yahoo "Best Bracket" contest will be determined by a mathematical formula included on its website, which attributes different point values to making correct picks in each of the various rounds. Yahoo, which last year sponsored the Quicken Loans Billion Dollar Bracket Challenge, returns to the NCAA tournament hosting market this March with the smaller, self-branded 'Best Bracket" contest, which promises a prize of $50,000 to the contestant who picks the best bracket. However, only the Yahoo contest guarantees a prize to the contest's first-place finisher. Once again this year, each of the 'big three' fantasy sports websites ( Yahoo, ESPN and CBS) is offering a free-to-enter March Madness challenge. With the NCAA selection committee expected to soon announce its 2015 tournament brackets, college basketball fans have already begun to scour the web for free NCAA Tournament contests to join. ![]()
