Scoring points:

If you pick a team ranked as a lower seed to beat a higher seed, and they win, you will get their rank points. For example,

if Arizona were to lose to the #16 team, and you decided to be bold and pick #16, you will receive 16 points else just 1 point.

After each round, not only will you get points for each team you picked to advance to the next round, but their rank points.

You will be going up against another Pitt student. The students with the best record and points advance to Round 2! If there is a tie in the records, it will be based on points!

Tie Breaker:

1 Pick how many points Pitt will win by in Round 1 whoever is close will advance!

2 If there is still a tie, whoever has wins from lower seed teams in their picks will advance!

Each round is worth 10 pts and is doubled in following rounds
