Each entrant may create a maximum of one (1) complete bracket which must be submitted in complete form no later than 10:00 am, on March 18, 2010. Upon the completion of each bracket, entrants will be asked to guess the “tie-breaker score” of the championship game. This score will be used only in the event of a tie score among participants (further detailed below). Brackets may only be submitted as described above.
Bracket submissions become property of 66 Federal Credit Union and will not be acknowledged or returned. 66 Federal Credit Union is not responsible for human or computer failures (hardware or software), lost or incorrect scoring or tabulation of scores or other errors or problems related to basketball tournament (including cancellation or postponement of any game), interruptions in service due to system upgrades, repairs, modifications or other causes, failures or malfunctions of connections, phones, phone lines or telephone systems, traffic congestion on the Internet or at any Web site, technical or mechanical malfunctions, or other malfunctions, problems or errors, whether caused by equipment, programming, human error or otherwise, or for printing or other errors appearing in these Rules or other Promotion-related materials, or for any injury or damage to participant’s or any other person’s computer relating to or resulting from participation in this Promotion or downloading any materials in this promotion.

In the event of a tie score between two or more players vying for the Grand Prize, the accuracy of the “tie-breaker score” answered during the bracket creation process (described above) will determine the entrant ranking. In the event that a tie still exists after the answers to all “tie-breaker scores” have been tabulated, the winner for the prize at issue will be selected by random drawing of those who have tied.
