VOTE in Second Round of RSC Mascot Challenge! Vote on Twitter @RiverStatesConf
FLORENCE, Ky. -- The First Round is complete in the River States Conference Mascot Challenge! Facebook Voting was conducted Friday, Feb. 10 at 12 pm ET to Saturday, Feb. 11 at 4 p.m. ET. We started with all 13 RSC mascots, and the top eight schools with the most likes on Facebook have advanced to the second round to be held on Twitter Feb. 14-15.
The eight remaining mascots will be seeded into a bracket based on total likes in the first round, and they will play off in a tournament format the rest of the way. The second round of the contest will be conducted with Twitter polls on the conference's Twitter page @RiverStatesConf (Twitter.com/RiverStatesConf)
Second-Round voting opens on Tuesday, Feb. 14 at 12 p.m. ET and closes on Wednesday, Feb. 15 at 4 p.m. ET. The second-round winners will advance to the final round Feb. 17-18, where Twitter will again decide things for the right to move on to represent the RSC at the NAIA Mascot Challenge national bracket in March.
