NCAA Tournament Pool Rules
The point of the tournament pool is to compete in guessing the
who will win each game during the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament.
After you register and pay your service fee*, you will fill out the entire
NCAA Tournament bracket (online) and submit it.
For each of your picks that you get correctly in each round,
you will get a certain amount of points, depending on the round. Point
values are as follows:
|
First Round
|
5
|
|
Second Round
|
8
|
|
Sweet Sixteen
|
10
|
|
Elite Eight
|
20
|
|
Final Four
|
35
|
|
Championship
|
50
|
| Double Points For 11+ Seeds |
No |
After each game played in the tournament, points will be added
to whoever got the winning team for that game correctly. Standings on
this site will then be updated, and you can come back here and see how well
you're doing. In the event of a tie, total number of correct picks throughout
the tournament will be used as a tie breaker. If still tied, points in the
Final Four will be used, followed by points in the Elite Eight moving into
previous rounds until the tie is broken. If all brackets are still tied after
each of these processes, they split the total return.
At the end of the championship game, those with the most points
are the winners, and will receive a free Boston Celtics team autographed basketball. If you have questions, feel free to
email them to me: shane@springhoops.com.
