Newtown Square, PA (PRWEB) March 12, 2017 -- Petplan pet insurance announced the matchups for its fourth annual Tournament of Tails on Sunday. The bracket-style challenge, which lets fans vote to advance their favorite pets to the next round, begins Monday, March 13, with participating local shelters vying for nearly $11,000 in donations.

Each of the 32 organizations in the Tournament of Tails are represented by an adoptable pet, who will have a “player card” featuring their photo and story on the Tournament website at http://www.gopetplan.com/tournament-of-tails. The nose-to-nose matchups last one calendar day, and the pet who receives the most votes moves on to the next round.

No pet goes home empty-pawed when eliminated from the challenge. Those bounced from the Terrific 32 receive a $100 donation for their shelters, players whose run ends at the Spirited 16 receive $200, pets knocked off in the Eager 8 round receive $300, while those who claw their way to the Final Fur net $500.

The Tournament ends with a one-day championship matchup on Monday, April 4, with the winner taking home a $5,000 grand prize donation for their organization.
