RULES: COLLEGE BASKETBALL
Part 1, Preseason Picks: Please select a champion for each of 7 major conferences (ACC, American, Big10, Big12, BigEast, Pac12, SEC). Please also select 3 at large selections. Your at large selections may not duplicate your conference picks. Your ten teams will earn points as follows: ...2 pts for each win* ..5 pts for a regular season conf championship** ..5 pts for a postseason conf championship** ..5 pts for an NCAA tourney bid** ..20 pts for an NCAA final four berth** ..20 pts for an NCAA championship berth** ..25 pts for an NCAA championship title** At large teams: We made available the top 40 teams in the nation plus the top 2 from each conference if they were ranked lower than 60th. If you wish to select an at-large team which we did not load, just email sportsdecathlon@yahoo.com and we'll make it available. * A win is a preseason, regular season or conference tournament or NCAA tournament win. Postseason tournaments like the NIT don't count. **As an incentive for you to pick carefully, at large teams earn slightly fewer points (4 pts for championships and 15/15/20 pts for milestones). Picks Lock prior to the first full day of games - 11/13 at 2p Pacific Part 2a, March Madness picks: You will make a total of 16 picks, one from each seed pool (one 1-seed, one 2-seed, one 3-seed, etc all the way thru one 16-seed not including the play-in games). Each team will earn: ...7 pts per win PLUS the value of their seed † ...10 pts for a 3-seed or greater upset ‡ ...15 pts for a Final Four berth ...20 pts for a Championship berth ...25 pts for an NCAA Championship † so a 1-seed would earn 8 pts per win, a 7-seed would earn 14 pts per win and a 14-seed would earn 21 pts per win. ‡ 10 over 7 is a 3-seed upset and would earn the bonus; 14 over 3 is an 11-seed upset and would earn the bonus; 9 over 8 is a 1-seed upset and would not earn the bonus. 13 over a 12 in the 2nd round is a 1-seed upset and would not earn the bonus. Note about the First Round play-in games. If you choose a play-in as your 11 or 16 seed, you get the winner of the play-in game. So if you choose Tulsa/Michigan, you get whichever team wins that game. No Part-2 (March Madness) points are awarded for the win in the play-in game and picks won't even have locked when those games are played. All NCAA games, including the First Round play-in games, will continue to accrue wins and bonuses for your Part-1 (pre-season) picks. Other postseason tournaments will NOT accrue wins for your pre-season picks (sorry NIT). Picks will lock at the tip of the first game ~9a Pacific Thu 3/17 Part 2b Sweet Sixteen The sixteen remaining teams have been grouped by region, four teams per group. Select one team from each region. Note that teams are not seeded. Points are as follows: Chosen team advances to Final Four: 10 pts Chosen team advances to Championship game: 10 pts Chosen team wins Championshiop: 20 pts A maximum of 80 pts can be earned from this set of picks. Picks will lock at the tip of the first game ~1p Pacific Thu 3/24 |
