MELROSE—The Melrose Weekly News is hosting its inaugural March Madness Final Four contest this year.
Contestants will pick their Final Four teams for the 2021 March Madness Tournament as well as the National Champion and final score of the championship game.
The winner will be determined by who gets the most number of correct Final Four teams. The National champion pick and championship game score prediction will act as tiebreakers.
One grand prize of $200 will be awarded to the winner, courtesy of Designer Lawn Sprinkler Services. All contestants must agree to have their photos appear in the Melrose Weekly News in order to receive the prize.
