Scoring by round:
1st round = 1 point (double-point upsets - see below)
2nd round = 2 points (double-point upsets - see below)
3rd round = 5 points
4th round = 10 points
Final Four = 15 points
Championship game = 25 points
Upset Special:
For the first two rounds, upsets (lower seed defeats a higher seed) are worth double points. i.e. if BYU (12 seed) defeats Syracuse (5 seed) in the first round and you picked it correctly, you’ll get 2 points for that game, not just 1.
Opening Round:
Don’t worry about the Lehigh/Florida A&M opening round game - it won’t count.
Tiebreaker:
In the case of a tie, the entry with the most correct Final Four teams will win, and if still tied, the entry with the most correct first round games will win.
Any questions, email at chrisATsynapticblurDOTcom or ask someone who knows.
The Winner will be posted here on synapticblur.com or you’ll hear about it somehow, trust me.
