NinetyAndNine NCAA Bracket Pool Invitational

Posted by: Bradley McDonald

Here's a breakdown of how the scoring works in our pool:

For a win in:
round 1, you get 1 point.
round 2, 2 points
round 3, 4 points
round 4, 8 points
round 5, 12 points
round 6, 16 points

Also, if you pick an upset in the first four rounds, you get bonus points (one-half times the value of the difference in seeds).

For example, correctly choosing an 11 seed to beat a 2 seed in the third round is worth:
4 points (for a third-round correct pick)
+ .5 X 9 (one-half the difference of 11 and 2).
8.5 points

If you sign up, please send me your name along with your user name on the site, so I can let everyone know who's who. I promise no one will laugh at your picks (heh heh).
