Bricks & Clicks
The Rockford Register Star is more than a newspaper: the ink on print or the “bricks” in the News Tower. We’re a multimedia news and information company: the “clicks” on our Web site and the TV clips on WREX-13. This blog explains our fast-changing media environment and interacts with our readers to show how and why we do what we do.

Let the madness begin

This week, rrstar.com launched Bracket Challenge, an online contest where you try to pick the winners in the NCAA basketball tournament to compete for national and local prizes.

Just fill out the drag-and-drop brackets, which offer more info on the teams if you need it. You also can sign up for mobile alerts and interact with “smack talk” as you see the leaderboard going. If you want, you can encourage your friends by sharing through Facebook or other sites.

Locally, you can win a Cub Cadet lawn mower from Tractor Town, a theme park package or a $50 gift certificate to Lino’s.

Nationally, you can win a trip to Las Vegas during the opening of the 2010 tournament.

Remember: You only have two days left.
