| Examples: Moving a #1 seed through to the Final 4 and having it be correct is worth 1+1+1+1 (4 wins) + 5 (bonus Sweet 16) + 12 (bonus elite 8) + 25 (bonus Final 4). Suddenly those early round matchups are VERY important. Go with the 5 in the 5/12 matchup, or try and earn 12 points with the upset!? Then, move that 12 on to Sweet 16 and earn another 12?! |
| Tiebreaker: First tiebreaker is total bracket spots correct, then having champion, then most number of teams correct in final 4. |
