Contest Scoring
- Members pick all 63 games of the NCAA Tournament.
- The pick deadline is set to March 20, 2025 at 12:15 PM ET.
- Maximum of one entry per member in the contest.
- Points are awarded for each correct pick.
- Points values increase as the tournament progresses, as follows:
- First Four = Play-in games are not included or scored
- First Round = 1 point
- Second Round = 2 points
- Sweet 16 = 4 points
- Elite 8 = 8 points
- Final Four = 16 points
- Championship = 32 points
- The pool uses a seed point bonus for underdog wins ONLY. When an underdog wins, the difference between their seed and the favorite team's seed is added to the points per round. For example, if a 3 seed beats a 1 seed in the Sweet Sixteen round then 6 points will be awarded for a correct pick (4 round points + 2 seed points [3-1]).
- The tie-breaker is the combined number of points scored in the Championship game. Each member must enter a tie-break value when they make their picks.
- The winner is the entry with the most points at the end of the NCAA Tournament.
