Qlik Announces $100K NCAA Men’s Tournament Bracket Challenge – One of the Largest Bracket Challenge Contest Awards Ever

Qlik
today announced the Qlik
Bracket Challenge, which gives United States residents the chance to
win $100,000 by leveraging in-depth data analysis while filling out
their brackets for the upcoming NCAA Men’s Basketball tournament. This
is one of the largest awards for bracket contests on the market, and
unlike large prize "perfect bracket” challenges, Qlik will award
$100,000 to the best overall submitted bracket.

Individuals who qualify can sign up now at https://bracketchallenge.qlik.com/
to receive an email notification when the Qlik Bracket Challenge opens
on Monday, March 18 after team selections are finalized. Fans will have
multiple days to dig into data on individual and potential matchups
while completing their brackets, with final submissions due before
tip-off begins that Thursday for a chance at a winner-take-all prize of
$100,000.

Data and analytics are ever-present in sports, from the MIT Sloan Sports
Analytics Conference to cameras installed throughout every professional
stadium and arena across basketball and all major sports. Fans love
digging into data to understand their favorite sports and teams, and
Qlik is leveraging its Qlik Sense analytics platform to provide the most
in-depth access to data on every team in the NCAA Men’s tournament field
to help fans design their best bracket ever. Through the Qlik Bracket
Challenge, individuals will be able to review and compare current season
statistics like strength of schedule, performance against ranked teams
and scoring margins to get a full picture of each team’s potential in
the tournament.

Ahead of the brackets opening, Qlik is also showcasing a variety of
historical tournament highlights through data storytelling on its https://bracketguru.qlik.com
microsite. The microsite leverages data from throughout the history of
the tournament, providing fans with a great mix of content and visuals
on past upsets, unique storylines and a deeper understanding of the
tournament through data. Qlik will be updating the site up until the
start of the tournament, giving fans a unique look through data at their
favorite sport.

Important information: This contest is only open to eligible US
residents who are 18 years or older as of the date of entry. The
official rules and all eligibility requirements can be found at https://bracketchallenge.qlik.com/rules/.
