You can never go wrong with last man standing.
Here is an alternative scoring system I will throw out for consideration - For each game your team wins you take the round and multiply it by the teams seed. If a #12 seed wins 2 games they give you 36 points. 12x1 for round one and 12x2 for round 2.
Highest point value for a contestants two teams combined wins.
This way if you were to draw an 8 and a 10 seed you would still have a reasonable chance at winning.
The only bad thing in that scenario is if you have a #1 seed, the best you can do is 28 points. So, a Louisville winning 7 games would have less points than an Oregon winning only 2 games. Love the idea though, just have to make a minor tweak somehow.

Guess I should have done more math. Good pickup.
Maybe instead of round x seed we should assign a point value to each round. Perhaps doubling as the tourney progresses.
Round 1 - 1x seed Round 2 - 2x seed Round 3 - 4x seed Round 4 - 8x seed
etc
Not sure if that would work any better or not. Just tossing out ideas.
Don't blame the clown for acting like a clown. Ask yourself why you keep going to the circus.

Appreciate the input Jester! I'm just going to do last man standing because I think that's the easiest for all involved (especially me ) and it makes it easier to track for all those in the pool.

Like I said, you can never go wrong with last man standing. It's just fun thinking about alternative ways to spice things up.

I've always been given a good team in these things. I got OSU last year and I remember winning with Kansas.

I think your "I've always been given a good team in these things" statement may have angered the randomizer Gods lol.

I actually agree with that. I've watched them play 3 times this year (vs. Georgetown) and they definitely have some talent. They may surprise some people. I have them going to the Sweet 16 in one of my brackets.

I got good weather and geniuses. Two things I'm wholly unfamiliar with (living in NE Ohio and fraternizing with you people).
I am unfamiliar with this feeling of optimism

So I got Pittsburgh - how interesting. When I attended CMU, Pitt was the school we hated most. Now I get to cheer for them. I have a feeling my teams, Pitt and NW State will have early exits. Hope I'm wrong. Thanks for doing this Blind Draw.

I'll take Butlet... Maybe I'll make the F4.. Not win it ever though..
Am I the only one that pronounces hyperbole "Hyper-bowl" instead of "hy-per-bo-le"?

I have a 7 seed in Illinois and a 12 seed in Oregon and both make out of the opening round. I know the NCAA wants to call this the 2nd round but seriously?
