How to play:
Participants choose any 12 teams from the final 64 bracket. This allows for the possibility to choose 3 teams from each region. However, you are free to choose any 12 teams you want.
There are 6 rounds in the NCAA tournament including the championship game. Points are allotted to each round.
Round 1 - 2 Points (Round of 64)
Round 2 - 4 Points (Round of 32)
Round 3 - 6 Points (Sweet 16)
Round 4 - 8 Points (Great 8)
Round 5 - 10 Points (Final 4)
Round 6 - 12 Points (Championship Game)
Therefore, IF you pick the Championship team, you would get 42 points for that team.
Most points win!
Bonus points will be added as follows:
One point for an upset where the seed differential is 4-7
Two points if the seed differential is 8-11
Three points if the differential is 12-13
Five points if a 16-seed beats a 1 seed. (**This could only happen in the round of 16 after that the above rules would apply)
**If the seed differential is 3 or less there will be no bonus points. Therefore, there would be no bonus for a #10 beating a #7 for example.
Tiebreaker
The tiebreaker will be the total number of points scored in the Championship game. Once a point total has been selected, it may not be chosen by another participant. The goal is to have the closest score. If two people are equally close, the person who did not go over the total will be the winner.
Prizes
1st - 150 SCR
2nd -100 SCR
3rd - 50 SCR
