Win $50 off your registration this Thursday, February 3

On Thursday, February 3 at 1:45pm (Mountain Time) we will be giving away a $50 promo code off of your team's registration. Log on to the BAM Jam Basketball Facebook page, be the first to answer a simple trivia question and you can get $50 off of your team's registration!

Click here to visit the Facebook page

The trivia question is going to revolve around last year's Fast Eddy's Spring BAM Jam and the various champions (teams, slam dunk contest and Jackson & Jackson 3-point Challenge). We promise it won't be hard but you have to be on our Facebook page at the right time to win. Here's a link to a web page to give you a head start.

The $50 promo code must be used during the 2011 Fast Eddy's Spring BAM Jam on March 12 and cannot be applied to teams already registered. It cannot be used for any other event or with any other offer. The promo code may not be exchanged for cash or other considerations.

Good luck!
