Scoring
It's easy… if your selection wins the game, you earn challenge points! We total your points at the end of all tournament games and the entry with the most challenge points is the winner.
Scoring System:
Participants earn challenge points for correctly picking winning teams in each round of the bracket (NOT including the "First Four" play-in games) as follows:
- 1st Round: 1 point for each correct selection
- 2nd Round: 2 points for each correct selection
- 3rd Round: 4 points for each correct selection
- 4th Round: 6 points for each correct selection
- 5th Round: 8 points for each correct selection
- 6th Round: 10 points for each correct selection
Example: Arizona beats Ohio State in round 2. You picked Kansas, you get 2 challenge points. Gonzaga beats Iowa in round 5. You picked Gonzaga, you receive 8 challenge points for that game.
Keep in mind that your team selections are final once the contest trade and registration deadline has passed. This is a pick-once bracket game, so your selections are locked in throughout the entire contest.
Registrations or selection changes can be made up until Thursday, March 16th at Noon ET (9 am PT).
No purchase necessary. See official rules for details.
