Announcing The Duck Shop ACC Basketball Pick Em Contest

As many of you know and participated in, The Duck Shop and DukeHoopBlog.com teamed up to provide Duke fans everywhere the opportunity to win prizes provided by The Duck Shop by picking the most correct college football games every week during the regular season.

We want to keep giving you opportunities to win prizes throughout the college basketball season so we have created a new contest that will run bi-weekly until the last game of the regular season for Duke, a home game against North Carolina on Saturday, March 3rd.

Each week, I will post 10 games being played by ACC teams for you to pick. Unlike our college football contest, which was set for you to pick against the spread, these games will be straight up so even the most casual fan will have the chance to increase your Duke gear collection.

RULES 

• Contest will run from Monday to the second Sunday after that starting Monday. For example, this contest will start today, December 5th, through Sunday, December 18th.
• The only week that will not follow this format will be the week of February 27th through March 3rd, when the contest will be over.
• Each week during the period, there will be 10 games to choose from plus a tiebreaker. The contestant with the most games picked correctly through the 13 day period will be declared the winner.
• If tiebreakers are not enough to decide a winner, I will provide a trivia question via email. The first person to answer the question correctly will be declared the winner. I will forward the replies to both contestants to prove the win and time responded. I will give ample warning as to when the tiebreaker trivia question will take place.
• Picks must be in to the comments section below each post 5 minutes before the first game for the week. Only one entry will be allowed per contestant.
• I will notify the winner via email so you must register with an account on this site before you post your comment including your picks for the week.
• Prizes will be determined by The Duck Shop and DukeHoopBlog.com and will be shipped to you at no cost.
