HOW TO PLAY
-
Players will select 8 teams from the field
of 64 in the NCAA Tournament using the form on the
Picks Page. To go to the Picks Page, click on the button above the Point
Values. The button will be active after the tournament bracket is
announced and the page is ready to accept entries.
-
E-mail, phone and fax entries are not allowed.
-
The First Four games on Thursday are not part of
the pool. You may select those teams, but
their games do not count until they are in the field of 64.
-
The teams you select each have a point value
based on their seeding in the NCAA Tournament bracket. Point values
for each seed are as follows. Teams and their point values are in the chart to the right.

Points are scored as follows:
- For each win in the first weekend of the tournament (first and
second rounds) a team scores points equal to its point value.
- In the second weekend (Sweet 16 and Elite Eight) point values
are multiplied by 2. For each win, a team scores points equal to its
point value times 2.
- In the final weekend (Final Four) point values are multiplied by
3. For each win, a team scores points equal to its point value times
3.
-
The object is to score the most points. The
pool will pay the Top 10% and ties using the following formula:
- 6th place through top 5% and ties will pay $50;
- Top 6% through the top 10% and ties will pay $25.
After those amounts have been deducted from the
pot, the remaining pot will be divided as follows:
|

no later than 9 a.m., Arizona time and Noon EDT, Thursday,
March 17, 2022.
