Multipliers
Multipler points are seed-based, rewarding lower ranked teams moving on in the tournament. For example, 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 #8 seed to win the championship, it is worth 24 points (8 x 3).
Tiebreakers
Ties will be broken by comparing tiebreaker answers each owner will provide with final bracket submission. In the event that there is still a tie after all tiebreaker answers are examined, your league commissioner will decide the winner.
Bracket Requirements
If your bracket(s) is not submitted once the deadline passes, you are ineligible to play.
