Welcome to the 2024 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament

Every March people start and run contests at their office or with their friends to see whocan do the best job of picking the winners of the games played in the NCAA Basketball Tournament. Before any games are played in the tournament everybody makes their best guess as to who will win each game in the tournament from the very first game played all the way down to National Champion.

Points are given for every correct pick, with points increasing as the tournament goes on. The tournament is played in "rounds" with each team playing once per round. Those teams that win their game proceed to the next round. Losing teams are eliminated.

The NCAA Tournament starts off with the First Four, the lowest four at-large qualifying teams and the lowest four automatic bid (conference champion) teams. The four games are held to determine which four teams will assume a place amongst the teams participating in the Round of 64. Each round halves the number of  teams. The tournament is a single-elimination competition -- if a team loses any game they are gone. With 64 teams entered there are 6 rounds needed to determine that National Champion.

Good Luck to All!


The entry fee this year will be 10.00.

Payouts will be as follows:

1st Place: 60 %
2nd Place 30 %
3rd Place 10 %
Last Place 10.00

You will receive points for each correct game winner you choose. The number of points will be calculated as follows:

First Four Win: 0 Pts
1st Round Win: 1 Pt
2nd Round Win: 2 Pts
Sweet 16 Win: 4 Pts
Elite 8 Win: 8 Pts
Final 4 Win: 16 Pts
Pick Champion: 32 Pts

Underdog Scoring

The pool will use a seed point bonus for underdog wins ONLY.

When an underdog wins, the difference between their seed and the favorite team's seed is added to the points per round.

For example, if a 3 seed beats a 1 seed in the Sweet Sixteen round then 6 points will be awarded for a correct pick (4 round points + 2 seed points [3-1]).


The winners of last years pool were:

1st Place Randall 89 Pts  
2nd Place Bahtka 74 Pts*
3rd Place Stan 74 Pts*
Last Place MVC #3 37 Pts*

 

* - Decided by TIE BREAKER! 

Congratulations and thanks to everyone who participated!
