Select as many as you'd like
  Seed Multiplier
» Multiply the standard round points by the team seed number
Example:
In a pool with this scoring method: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
  • Correctly pick the 1 seed over the 16 in round 1, then receive 1 point (1 seed * 1 pt for round 1 = 1 pt)
  • Correctly pick the 8 seed over the 1 seed in round 2, then receive 16 points (8 seed * 2 pts for round 2 = 16 pts)
  Bracket Upset Bonus
» 1 point per seeding difference for picking upsets
Example:
  • Correctly pick a 12 seed over a 5 seed and receive 7 bonus points on top of that round's standard points. (12 seed - 5 seed = 7 pts)
  • (seed multiplier is applied before upset bonus)
  Final Four Bonus
