Seed Bonuses
Seed bonuses are seed-based, rewarding lower ranked teams moving on in the tournament. Your commissioner can choose to either use multiply or add the bonus for each win.
Multipler 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.
Addition Bonus
If the #4 seed team wins their first round matchup, they earn 1 point + 4 (their seed) to equal 5 points. If the #1 seed wins their second round matchup they earn 2 points (round weight) + 1 (again, their seed) to equal 3 points. Same system holds true throughout the playoffs.
