Think you’ve got the March Madness magic this year? If so, you should join our GeekWire NCAA tourney pool — the top-finisher will win a ticket to the first-ever GeekWire Sports Tech Summit this July.

The annual NCAA men’s basketball tournament kicks off Thursday morning at 9:15 a.m. PT, and millions of people are busy this week filling out their brackets. The American Gambling Association estimates that more than 70 million brackets will be filled out this year, and $ 9.2 billion bet in office pools, sportsbooks, local bookies, and other platforms.

Our competition is free to enter — we’re hosting it on Yahoo, and you can submit your bracket picks here. Only one entry is allowed per person, and the first-place bracket will win a ticket to the upcoming Sports Tech Summit. You also need to subscribe to our sports tech newsletter to be eligible:

We’re excited to host the inaugural GeekWire Sports Tech Summit on July 12, which will bring together professionals, investors, entrepreneurs and fans in sports and technology for a full day immersive and interactive summit focused on learning, networking and idea exchange. If you don’t end up finishing atop the March Madness standings, you can buy tickets to the event here.
