Gentlemen: We'll be able to make some changes this year to the structure of the NCAA tournament pool since I've finally found a freeware program worthy enough to try out. The beautiful thing about it is that it automatically creates website files for it - I just have to upload them. Click here to see for yourselves...
Anyway, the things we need to come to an agreement on are these...
-- Points scoring system
-- Bonus or no bonus
My initial thoughts were these:
I've come up with a points scoring system based on a perfect score of 300 (essentially, if you pick all 64 games correctly, you'd score 300 points without a bonus). This is how it'd break down:
First-round (including play-in game): 2 points
Second-round: 4 points
Sweet 16: 9 points
Elite 8: 12 points
Final 4: 15 points
Championship: 20 points
I do also want to include a bonus, but I'm not sure what to do. (Incidentally, does anyone know what the hell the "Fischietto bonus" is?)
Please discuss...
