Let’s all have some fun.
The NCAA Tournament is here and we have a bracket group over at USA TODAY to compete against our staff and all of our readers. This bracket is a bit different as there are two ways to win and play.
Our group is public so just follow this link and make a bracket.
First, fill out the bracket as everyone does by picking all the games before the tournament gets underway. The second is picking games whenever the heck you want. Want to change your pick mid-game, go ahead and do it and here are the details of that.
Correct predictions made before the Tournament starts will be worth the most points. Available points to be earned for a prediction will decrease at the start of each round of the Tournament (each, a “Tournament Round”), again at the start of a game, and again at the end of each timeout for a television advertisement break during a game (each, an “Official Television Timeout” or “TO”) and halftime during a game (“Halftime” or “Half”). The scoring matrix below outlines the point values available for a correct prediction entered by the end of each of these periods.
Basically, the later that you make changes the fewer points you would get. The most points are awarded for not changing your picks.
There will be two ways to win. One is the traditional way with your locked bracket once games begin and the other is using that same bracket but with options to make changes to keep teams alive.
