Scoring the Bracket
You can either set each game predicted correctly as 1 point or use a scale.
We recommend the following:
| Round | Points |
| First Four | 1 point |
| Round of 64 | 1 point |
| Round of 32 | 1 point |
| Sweet 16 | 2 points |
| Elite Eight | 4 points |
| Final Four | 8 points |
| Championship | 10 points |
Feel free to modify the scoring to your liking. The big thing is to keep it consistent and reward people that advance deep into the tournament.
Paying out your Bracket Pool
There are lots of options for how to organize the payouts! The possibilities are literally infinite, and you have to do what is right for you and your squad.
Here are three possible payout structures!
Winner Takes All
This is America, after all. Second place is just the first loser.
| Winner Take All | |
| 1st Place | 100% |
| 2nd Place | 0% |
| 3rd Place | Bag of Tears |
| 4th Place | SOL |
Balanced
A reasonable approach that will not offend anyone. First place is amply rewarded, second place gets their cut, and two others get a nice taste.
| Balanced | |
| 1st Place | 60% |
| 2nd Place | 30% |
| 3rd Place | 10% |
| 4th Place | Entry Fee |
More Ways to Win
This is best for larger pools. By adding more ways for folks to win, you will keep more players engaged longer.
Reward the person who picked a ton of upsets correctly with their money back.
The person who correctly guessed the last 9+ seed to stay in? They should win some money too.
What about the person whose Champion gets upset in the First Round? Give them their money back to salve the ridicule to follow.
With a bigger pot of entries, you can come up with even more ways for everyone to let it ride and win big and small.
| More Ways to Win | |
| 1st Place | 30% |
| 2nd Place | 15% |
| 3rd Place | 10% |
| 4th Place | 5% |
| Most Upsets | Entry Fee |
| Last Low Seed | Entry Fee |
| Worst Bracket | Entry Fee |
| First Champion to Lose | Entry Fee |
| Best First Round % | Entry Fee |
| Best Second Round % | Entry Fee |
| Best Sweet 16 % | Entry Fee |
| Best Elite 8 % | Entry Fee |
