Welcome to KIIC's Stump the Chumps!

Play for FREE! Your entry helps a local Veterans organization. We have both a men's and women's bracket again this year. You can play either or both. Playing both brackets gives you a better chance to win! Prizes are awarded to the overall highest point total - no matter from which bracket you play. Brackets points can't be added to other bracket entries. First Place prize is a $500 Menards Certificate. Second place prize is a $100 gift card at the new Trio in Oskaloosa. Third place is $50 from Iron Horse Grille in Chariton . Get your bracket(s) in before the pick deadline and make sure to review the pool settings. Only the main 64 teams that make up a standard bracket are included (i.e. the play-in games, or 'first four', are NOT included). Good luck to everyone. If you have any questions, please contact us : sports@KIICRADIO.COM.
