How to Score March Madness Brackets
Almost all March Madness bracket contests require picks for every game of the tournament before tip-off for the first round. This includes all 63 games right up and including the National Championship. You don’t have to have both participants in a game correct to get the pick right, just the winner of the game.
Correct picks earn points while losing picks get nothing. Scoring varies from one contest to the next; sometimes, more perilous picks are rewarded with higher point totals, but only if they’re correct.
The most-common format sees correct picks awarded points based on the following format:
- Round of 64- 1 point
- Round of 32 – 2 points
- Sweet Sixteen – 4 points OR 3 points
- Elite Eight – 8 points OR 4 points
- Final Four – 16 Points OR 5 points
- National Championship – 32 points OR 6 points
Contests that use the first point totals reward correct picks in later rounds on a much higher basis, making it imperative to have a correct national champion pick if you’re going to win the overall contest. Those that use the second scoring system put more weight on the early rounds and contestants can generally finish near the top even if they lose their champion fairly early.
And in the case of a tie at the end of a bracket contest, organizers generally have all participants guess the score of/total points in the title game as the tiebreaker. SBD’s printable bracket provides a dedicated box for the tiebreaker score.
