About the Jerry's Hot Picks Bump 'n' Run Challenge

How to play:

Pick the winning team for each of this week's games. Indicate how confident you are in your picks by ranking them from most confident (-1) to least confident (1). (For example, write "-1" next to the team you're most confident will win; if that team wins, you get -1 points.) Be sure to rank each game. Total points are based on (1) the number of winning teams you pick correctly and (2) the point value you assign each of your picks. Next, indicate your guesses for each tiebreaker by entering point totals on the appropriate lines. Finally, provide full name and address information so we can contact you if you've won.

How to win:

The entry with the most total points for the week wins a $1,000 cash prize. In the event of a tie, Tiebreaker #1 will be used to pick this week's winner. If a tie remains after Tiebreaker #1 has been applied, Tiebreaker #2 will be used to pick the weekÕs winner. If a tie remains after both Tiebreakers have been applied, winner will be chosen via a random drawing. Results will be posted in the Sunday Wisconsin State Journal and at madison.com. Please allow 4-6 weeks for delivery of winner's check.

Entry forms are also available in the Capital Newspapers lobby, 1901 Fish Hatchery Road, Madison. (Limit: 1 entry form per person, per visit.) You may also enter online at madison.com/bumprun. Must be at least 18 years of age to claim prize, or be accompanied by a legal guardian. Enter as often as you'd like, but entries can be made online only once per person per week. Only original entry forms will be accepted. Photocopies and facsimiles are not allowed. Multiple entries may be mailed in the same envelope. Entry with the most points at the end of each week wins. When ranking games, confidence numbers may be used only once, and only one team may be ranked per game. In the event of a tie, the entry with Tiebreaker point totals closest to the actual point totals without going over will be declared the winner. If a tie remains after tiebreakers have been applied, winner will be chosen via a random drawing. Winner will be announced on Sunday, July 13, 2008, in the Sunday Wisconsin State Journal. Incomplete entries, late entries, multiple online entries for the same person, and entries filled out incorrectly will be disqualified.
