How it works:
Your total points will be determined by adding the number of points accumulated in each round. The highest total points will be the winner. Points will be awarded on the following basis: For each blank that you pick correctly, take the seed number of the team, which is listed to their left, multiplied by the factor listed at the top of each round. For example, if you select a Number 1 seed to beat a Number 16 seed in the first round, and they win, you will receive 2 points (#1 seed x 2 multipler for the first round). If you pick a Number 1 seed to win again in the second round, and they do win again, you will receive 4 more points (#1 x 4 multiplier for the second round).
On the other hand, if you were to take a Number 16 seed to beat a Number 1 seed in the first round (!?$#@) and this upset occurs, then you would get 32 points (#16 seed x 2) just for picking the Number 16 seed. If you push your luck and pick a Number 16 seed to win again in the second round--and they do--you will receive an additional 64 points (#16 seed x 4). Got it? I hope so. It really sounds more complicated than it is. This system rewards you for picking upsets by giving you more points for taking the underdog, and also weighs the later rounds heavier than the early rounds because they are more difficult to predict.

Tiebreakers:
1. Highest number of correctly picked blanks on the bracket.
2. Highest number of correctly picked blanks involving the actual Final Four teams.
3. Highest number of wins from the teams that you predicted to make the Final Four.
4. Having the National Champion correct.
GOOD LUCK! It takes plenty to win.
