The following
rules will apply:
Tournament Scoring
For picking the winners of the following games your bracket will earn the following points:
- First Four Games -- .5 pt each **note: you don't have to pick these games to have an eligible bracket**
- Round of 64 -- 1 pt for each team you selected correctly (32
possible points)
- Round of 32-- 2 pts for each team you selected correctly (32
possible points)
- Sweet Sixteen-- 4 pts for each team you selected correctly (32 possible
points)
- Elite Eight-- 8 pts for each team you selected correctly (32
possible points)
- Final Four -- 16 pts for each team you selected correctly (32
possible points)
- Championship Game-- 32 pts (32 possible points)
In the event of a tie we'll apply tiebreakers in the following
order:
- Lowest seed correctly predicted to make
the Elite Eight.
- Lowest seed correctly predicted to make the Sweet Sixteen.
- Lowest seed correctly predicted to make the Round of 32.
- If the above tiebreakers do not break the tie then we'll
either have co-champions or the tournament committee will
meet to discuss a tiebreaker challenge.
*16 seeds being considered the lowest seeds on up to 1 seeds
which are considered the highest (1 is high...I know...sort
of reverse logic). The idea behind these tiebreakers is to
reward persons who were able to correctly predict tournament
upsets (cinderellas).
*Only one entry per person is allowed. If you submit multipleentries then you will not be eligible for the mystery prize.
