Bracket Challenge Scoring
A team will accumulate points based on the round in which each correctly guessed team has won. The chart below lists the *default point values.
*These point values can be changed by league commissioners to their liking.
| Scoring | |
|---|---|
| Statistic | Points Earned |
| Round 1 Correct Picks | 1 Point (x multiplier) |
| Round 2 Correct Picks | 2 Points (x multiplier) |
| Round 3 Correct Picks | 4 Points (x multiplier) |
| Finals Correct Pick | 8 Points (x multiplier) |
Seed Bonuses
Seed bonuses are meant to reward lower ranked teams moving on in the tournament. League commissioners can choose whether to use addition bonuses or multiply bonuses.
If seed bonus is enabled, it can be either:
- Multiply (3 seed wins in 2nd round, with 2nd round worth 2 points, it would be 3 x 2 = 6)
- Addition (3 seed wins in 2nd round, with 2nd round worth 2 points, it would be 3 + 2 = 5)
For example, (using multiply bonus) if the #4 seed team wins their first round matchup, they earn 1 point x 4 (their seed) to equal 4 points. If the #1 seed wins their first round matchup they earn 1 point x 1 (again, their seed) to equal 1 point. Same system holds true throughout the playoffs. If you pick a #4 seed to win the championship, it is worth 16 points (4 x 4).
Confidence Pool
Rank the teams from 1 to 12 based on which team you think will win the most games in the playoffs. Each time a team wins a game, the pool participant will get the corresponding points (rank = points). Most points after the champion is crowned, wins!
