2018 ARK Bracket Challenge
Greetings Ark Community! As everyone may be aware (at least US Arkies) Selection Sunday is upon us and the annual NCAA College Basketball tournament is about to commence where 64 teams across the United States battle it out over the course of several rounds to determine who’s the best. We fondly refer this to March Madness! The best part of this is always a friendly competition with friends and colleagues to see who can get the most match outcome right and claim victory for the best bracket of the year. Several delegates (and even members of Ark Crew) have gotten together and we have decided to sponsor what is dubbed the 2018 ARK Bracket Challenge and make it available to anyone that has an ARK wallet and would like to participate. See below for more details
PRIZES: The current prize pool consists of 1200 ARK + 3 ARK Nano Ledger S. Entry fee of 3 ARK will also be added to the total prize pool (Note: US winners of Ledger will have them mailed, Non-US winners will receive a voucher to order one). The prize will be allocated as following to the top 3 brackets by point total:
- 1st place (70% + Ledger Nano S)
- 2nd place (20% + Ledger Nano S)
- 3rd place (10% + Ledger Nano S)
The winning entries will have their prizes distributed shortly after the tournament concludes.
For transparency, the prizes will be held in escrow by the amazing @Lars from the Ark Crew at the following address: AeoFbL5zsd71jr9GDATvGKLLzVGcHQGqE7
