Rules
ANY POSTS EDITED AFTER THE DEADLINE WILL BE DISQUALIFIED

Scoring Each game in the brackets will be scored up thusly: (Round value) + (Round number x Seed number) Round 1 – 64 teams – 2 points for each winner picked Round 2 – 32 teams – 3 points for each winner picked Round 3 – 16 teams – 5 points for each winner picked Round 4 – 8 teams – 8 points for each winner picked Round 5 – 4 teams – 13 points for each winner picked Round 6 – 2 teams – 21 points for each winner picked
The second part of the equation is to reward upset picks. So if a 14 seed wins in round 4 that team will net 64 points for the round and will have netted 158 points up to that point in the tournament. In contrast a 1 seed winning in round 4 would net 12 points that round and will have netted only 28 points. This may seem like an excessive reward for picking an upset, but keep in mind that it’s very unlikely for a low seed such as 14 to make it that far into the tournament and it’s even less likely that you’ll pick them.
Acceptable Formats For Entry 1. A screenshot of an electronically filled bracket. One can find these here or here
2. A hand-typed post following this format 1. Kansas v Lehigh pick
Deadline For Entry 12:00 PM EST March 18th, 2010 No late entries will be accepted. I will distribute awards on April 5th after the championship game. |
