Which type of NCAA bracket competition do you like?

- Straight up (win get 1,2,etc points)

OR

- Get a bonus for picking upsets correctly (either by multiplying or adding the seed to the score)

I'm running a pool for the tournament as a fundraiser for the softball team and wanted to get some ideas from others what they like.

Just straight up pts. Easier to monitor and easier for you to track.

we have one at work where you get a point for every correct game through the final four. Then when we get to the final four the guys with the top 4 points get to select a team that is in the final four. And the guy that selects the winning team wins the biggest percentage of the pot.

Winner gets 60% of pot

2nd gets 20% of the pot

3rd gets 10 % of the pot

4th gets 10 % of the pot
