Fill your brackets by Thursday

The Republic’s third annual Bracket Challenge is underway in connection with the men’s college basketball tournament.

Go to therepublic.com/bracket to register for this year’s contest. Now that the field of 68 teams has been selected, Bracket Challenge players will have until 11 a.m. Thursday to fill in their brackets.

The contest is part of a larger $1 million contest, but local participants will also compete for prizes including electronics, gift cards, gift certificates for local services and local event tickets. In addition to the overall contest, a round-by-round contest allows participants a second chance at prizes.

Entrants must be at least 18 years of age to play. No purchases are necessary for entry.
