The NCAA Tournament tips off on Thursday, March 16th and SBR has an exciting contest lined up with $2,000 in cash prizes exclusive to SBR Pros. While we finalize our new contest platform, we will use RunYourPool once more to host this tourney challenge.
Contest Rules:
- Members pick any 8 NCAA teams out of the field of 64 before the tournament starts (First Four/Play-In Games not included). Once the tournament starts, no additional picks are made.
- Every time one of a member's teams win, they are awarded the number of points equal to the team's seed PLUS a certain number of points depending on the round according to the following table:
- Example: A member picks a 5 seed and that team wins 3 rounds. They will be awarded 21 points (6 in Rd 1 + 7 in Rd 2 + 8 in Rd 3).
- The tie-breaker is the combined number of points scored in the Championship game. Each member must enter a tie-break value when they make their picks.
- Pick deadline is 12:15 PM ET on March 16th. Standings will be based on most total points at the end of the NCAA Tournament
