The Bracket
Once the bracket has been submitted, the contestant is officially participating. Submitted brackets are final. Bracket picks cannot be changed once the bracket has been submitted and requests to make changes to a submitted bracket will be ignored.
Games will be graded and the bracket updated at the end of each round.

Point System
Seed Scoring x Round Number – To get points a player must correctly pick a team to win a certain game. Points are then awarded based on the Seed x the Round
Example: Jane picks Iowa State (#10 seed) over UCLA (#3 seed) in a 2nd Round game.
If Iowa State wins this game Jane would be awarded 20 points based on the seed (10) times the round (2). If UCLA wins, Jane would receive 0 points.
