Each weekday, they will select qualifiers by asking a question on-air.  Each day’s question will be exclusive to that day.  Respondents can answer the question via phone calls to the KISM Studio at (360) 733-5476.  Participants may enter each individual day between the hours of 5:30am – 9am. Each qualifier will receive, and be paired with, two teams competing in the NCAA Men’s Basketball tournament.  Selection of these teams will be made at random.  There will be a total of 32 qualifiers, 8 qualifiers per day.

Grand Prize is a mattress and bed set from Wilson’s Furniture.  Approximate Value of Grand Prize is $2999.  Any increase in prize value, due to a substitution at the request of the winner, will be the winner’s responsibility.  There will be no money awarded for a substitute that causes a decrease in value.

Grand Prize value is based on approximate retail value provided by Wilson’s Furniture.

As the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament is played, qualifiers will be eliminated when their teams are eliminated from the tournament.  The qualifier that is paired with the team that wins the tournament finals on Monday, April 7, 2025, will be the grand prize winner.  The winner will also be announced during The Morning Show with Brad & John on Tuesday, April 8, 2025, and notified by telephone.

Contests heard on the radio station’s internet audio stream may be slightly delayed from the time the contests are heard on the broadcast station, and will be running behind the broadcast signal. Thus, all contests heard on the internet are delayed. This delay can last for as much as 30 seconds or more. This means that when Classic Rock 92.9 KISM contests are played that require a specific caller to telephone the radio station (such as “Caller number 9 when you hear the sound effect”), listeners to the on-line audio stream may be at a disadvantage in participating over those listeners who hear the contests on-air.
