TOURNAMENT OF 64 RULES
64 TEAM BRACKET PICKEM
- Our basic game is familiar with most persons in that you simply fill out your bracket for all 63 matchups, all the way to the final game. In our system, the 4 playin games are treated as a single entry in the field of 64. This allows you to solicit entrants for your bracket contest up until the tipoff of games on Thursday (instead of Tuesday) and allowing you a longer time period to get more entries.
Enter the point values for each round of the tournament:
First Round
Second Round
Sweet Sixteen
Elite Eight
FinalS Four
Championship
Tiebreaker: Closest to combined points of champion game. Without going over?
(No: meaning just closest to score, Yes: meaning guess cannot exceed actual combined points)
NO

OPTIONAL: ADD A SWEET SIXTEEN CONTEST
- An additional bracket contest FREE for your use. As many of you have played the bracket of 64, after the first couple rounds your bracket does not look good. So we decided to rejuvinate the excitement by building a separate contest beginning with the Sweet Sixteen qualifiers. Once the 2nd round games are completed, if enabled below, you will see entry for the Sweet Sixteen contest. ReInvite your friends and family to another dose of March Madness. The contests are maintained separately,so each will have its own individual results.
