The Eclipse is holding its third annual March Madness Challenge during the NCAA basketball tournament, starting Tuesday, March 13 for the play-in games, with the first rounds starting Thursday, March 15.

Students may compete for prizes by making the most accurate bracket for the tournament, and staff may play for bragging rights.

The player who gets the most points and has the most accurate bracket will receive a $10 gift card to a local restaurant.

The runner-up will receive a $5 gift card.

Kearsley staff members are encouraged to join the fun but are ineligible to receive prizes.

The challenge is run through cbssports.com and participants are only allowed one email address to submit. But players are encouraged to submit up to three different brackets. The contest is free.
