Free Mad Brackets Tournament Pool Tips Off March 16th

North Sioux City, SD, March 16, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Prizes include 6 VizioTM LCD TVs for Perfect Bracket, Sony Digital Camera, and more.

Dakota PC Warehouse, a retailer of computing and consumer electronics products, is inviting all college basketball fans to participate in a new, free, online tournament pool called Mad Brackets. Mad Brackets is hosted by DakotaPCWarehouse.com and sponsored by K2 Mounts Inc. and in this contest entrants will match their basketball prognostication skills against other self-proclaimed “bracketologists” in competition for thousands of dollars in prizes.

Mad Brackets is open to individuals as well as groups and entry is free. Prizes will be awarded to the winners who accumulate the most points simply by selecting the winning teams in the upcoming men’s college basketball tournament beginning on March 20, 2008. First prize is a 32-inch Vizio LCD TV. Second prize is a Sony digital camera, and third prize is a Microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse.

In addition, DakotaPCWarehouse.com and K2 Mounts are offering a special grand prize to any person who records a perfect score by correctly selecting all the winning teams in every round of the tournament. Mad Brackets also contains a special twist whereby prizes can be awarded after every round of the tournament. For each tournament round in which an individual maintains a perfect score, the contestant will win an additional and progressively larger Vizio LCD TV. For example, a perfect score in the first round wins a 20-inch Vizio LCD TV while a perfect score in the both the first and second rounds will earn a 20-inch and a 32-inch Vizio LCD TV. The prize package for a perfect score through all six rounds of the tournament will include six Vizio LCD TVs featuring screen sizes of 20, 32, 37, 42, 47, and 52-inches, respectively, plus wall mounting brackets from K2 Mounts.

Additionally, Adam Haluska, former Iowa Hawkeye basketball standout and current professional basketball player, will post his own “challenge bracket” where a $5 coupon to DakotaPCWarehouse.com will be awarded to anyone who beats Haluska’s final total score.

One of the unique features of Mad Brackets is the opportunity for business groups and friend circles to host their own personalized private office pool from the Mad Brackets website. In addition to any prizes that may be offered by the private pool hosts, legal participants remain eligible for all Mad Brackets prizes.

“Just about everyone looks forward to the annual men’s college basketball tournament and participating in office pools has become a regular part of business,” said Keith Thomas, President, Dakota PC Warehouse. “This is where Mad Brackets provides individuals and business groups a great opportunity to join or host a pool without having to hassle with managing it. It’s also a fun way for small businesses to market directly to their customers and enhance customer loyalty, while also introducing them to Dakota PC Warehouse.”

Mad Brackets is free of charge and no purchase is necessary. The contest is limited to one bracket entry per person although that same bracket can be applied to as many as five private pools in addition to the main public pool. Online registration is required and is now available online at www.madbracketspool.com. Contestants will be able to begin filling out their tournament brackets beginning at approximately 6:00 p.m. CDT on March 16, 2008. All brackets can be changed or updated until the Mad Brackets entry deadline of 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, March 20, 2008.
