not a big pool guy, but like this one. You get points for whatever seed is. pick outright winners. If you have 12 seed you get 12 points for each win. whatever the seed is, makes how many pts you get.

OK, if your 12 seed wins in the first round you get 12. What if you pick the 12 seed to win a second-round game and it wins that. Do you get 24?

I'm in one that I've never seen.

Basically a superbowl squares format. Winning team across the top, losing team down the side. You get that number for EVERY game. Payouts go up every round and there are halftime payouts for the Final Four and Championship game.

Should be fun sweating out all of those late free throws. :103631605

i like the kind of ncaa pool where the pointspread is used.

say you have the team playing north carolina .

they are getting 30 points . if they cover , you then have north carolina as your team. if nc covers , the guy who had nc keeps them. you are out.

basically allows for all 64 teams to be picked and everyone has a fair shot.

I must be missing something FW. You wouldn't want double numbers, right. That would leave you having to root for 10- or 20-point spreads in games ...67-57 for example. I would think you would want numbers four or five points apart.

You should start a pool where you get bonus points the further east a team is.

It pays out for halftime and final score. If you have 7-7, the score is 27-27 at half, you get both sides. Same with the final score. Since the scores are totally random unlike football, I want the double-number.
