FIBA – Winners of mascot-naming competition revealed

ISTANBUL (2010 FIBA World Championship) - A total of 39 fans who will receive incredible prizes after voting for the winning name in the 2010 FIBA World Championship mascot-naming competition have been chosen.
 
The competition to name the mascot for this summer's tournament in Turkey came to an end last week with "Bascat" being chosen ahead of "Onecat" and "Micho". The voting was carried out in Turkey only by tens of thousands of fans.

Fans who voted to name the mascot were then entered in a draw for a chance of winning some very interesting prizes.

Four fans will get the privilege of taking home an official Turkish national team uniform and also enjoy the incredible opportunity of having dinner with the players during their training camp.

In addition, five fans won group game tickets for 2010 FIBA World Championship, while 10 more will receive an official Championship t-shirt each and an additional 20 will get mascot gift packages.
