Q: How does the March Madness event work?
A: Participants will fill out Women's and/or Men's NCAA Championship brackets, predicting the winners from the Sweet 16, Elite 8, Final Four, and the Championship game. You can enroll in any class from our schedule as long as the teams from the South, East, West, and Midwest regions you've chosen are still advancing in the tournament. This means you'll need to stay updated with the March Madness results to ensure your team is still in the game.

Q: What if I arrive without a pre-submitted bracket?
A: No problem! If you didn't have a chance to submit your bracket ahead of time, you can fill one out in-studio. We recommend taking a picture of your bracket to keep track of your team colors throughout the tournament.

For all the enthusiastic participants eager to dive into the thrill of our tournament, please be advised that the deadline to submit your bracket and remain eligible for the grand prize is swiftly approaching, with April 1st being the cutoff date. While we warmly welcome latecomers to sign up and partake in our scheduled session, it's essential to understand that submissions past this date will not qualify for the prize. This ensures a fair and exciting competition for everyone involved.

Now, for those wondering about the protocol for arriving without a pre-submitted bracket, fret not! We've got you covered. Upon your arrival, you will have the opportunity to fill out a bracket in-studio. This allows everyone, regardless of when they join, to fully engage with the tournament and enjoy the competitive spirit. To enhance your experience and keep you in the loop with your team's progress, we recommend snapping a photo of your completed bracket. This simple step will help you track your team colors and their journey throughout the tournament easily.

This inclusive approach ensures that every participant, regardless of their submission timing, can immerse themselves in the excitement of the tournament. We're committed to providing an enjoyable and competitive environment for all, so grab your pens, choose your teams wisely, and let the games begin! Whether you're in it to win the grand prize or simply to enjoy the camaraderie and thrill of the game, we're delighted to have you join us.

Q: What is the prize for picking the Championship winners?
A: The grand prize for correctly predicting the Women's and/or Men's Championship winners is an eight-pack of one-hour personal training sessions with a TFE certified trainer, valued at $800. This is a fantastic opportunity to enhance your fitness journey with expert guidance and personalized attention.

In the spirit of friendly competition and team solidarity, our unique approach to determining the winner of the March Marchness tournament brings an exciting twist to the traditional prediction contest. Recognizing the importance of both accurate predictions and enthusiastic participation, we've set up a system that celebrates both. In the event that no participant accurately predicts the winning team, we will shift our focus to honor the individual or group that exemplified the best team spirit throughout the week. To ensure fairness and transparency in this process, we will diligently document each session by capturing photos of each class. This visual record will serve as a vital reference should we need to decide on an alternative winner based on team spirit.

Moreover, in the case where team spirit alone cannot determine a single winner, we will employ additional criteria to identify our champions. Specifically, we will consider two factors: session attendance and accuracy in predicting the outcomes of the tournament bracket. The individuals who stand out in these aspects will share the season's honors, highlighting the importance of both consistent participation and insightful predictions.

The grand prize awaiting the sharp predictors who correctly choose the Women's and/or Men's Championship winners is undeniably enticing—an eight-pack of one-hour personal training sessions with a TFE certified trainer, valued at $800. This prize not only rewards the predictive acumen of our participants but also offers a significant boost to their fitness journey. The winners will benefit from expert guidance and personalized training plans, ensuring that their victory translates into tangible improvements in their health and fitness levels. Whether you're in it for the glory of accurate predictions or the camaraderie of spirited participation, our March Marchness tournament promises excitement, challenges, and rewarding experiences for everyone involved.

Q: Can I participate in the event if I'm not familiar with basketball?
