2025 March Madness Team Selection

You need to select a total of 16 teams out of the field of 64. You can select the following number of teams at each seeding:

#1 Seed: 1
#2 Seed: 2
#3 Seed: 2
#4 Seed: 2
#5 Seed: 2
#6 Seed: 1
#7 Seed: 1
#8 Seed: 1
#9 Seed: 1
#10 Seed: 1
#11 Seed: 1
#12 Seed: 1
Tiebreaker: 1 (This can be any team in the tournament)

NOTE: You can always select a lower seeded team.

For Example:

Instead of a #1 seed, you can pick an extra #2 or higher seed
You can pick zero #8 seeds and pick two #9 seeds, etc...

Scoring

Scoring is done by round with wins in each following round increasing in point value. Any upset receives two bonus points.

Round of 64: 2 points (4 points for upset)
Round of 32: 3 points (5 points for upset)
Sweet 16: 4 points (6 points for upset)
Elite 8: 5 points (7 points for upset)
Final 4: 6 points (8 points for upset)
Final: 7 points (9 points for upset)

Once teams reach the final four, if two teams hold the same seed, the upset points will be awarded to the team that is lower in the overall tournament seeding (1-64 seeding).

Tiebreaker

Should two or more pool teams finish with the same number of points, the team with the highest seeded tiebreaker selection winning in the round of 64 will be declared the winner. Should teams still be tied after the tiebreak is applied and those teams are in the money, then prize money will be split equally between the tied teams.
