Contest Scoring​

  • Members pick all 63 games of the NCAA Tournament.
  • The pick deadline is set to March 19, 2026 at 12:15 PM ET.
  • Maximum of one entry per member in the contest.
    • First Four = Play-in games are not included or scored
    • First Round = 1 point
    • Second Round = 2 points
    • Sweet 16 = 4 points
    • Elite 8 = 8 points
    • Final Four = 16 points
    • Championship = 32 points
  • The pool uses a seed point bonus for underdog wins ONLY. When an underdog wins, the difference between their seed and the favorite team's seed is added to the points per round. For example, if a 3 seed beats a 1 seed in the Sweet Sixteen round then 6 points will be awarded for a correct pick (4 round points + 2 seed points [3-1]).
  • 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.
  • The winner is the entry with the most points at the end of the NCAA Tournament.

That’s one book that I’ve never signed up to for various reasons. At least I’ll be eligible for the contest, thanks BMR for the opportunity to win money.

I wont be able to defend my 2nd place finish from 2025 this year as my account isn't eligible -- MyBookie was actually the reason I signed up to the BMR forums in the first place, so my account predates this. I see the fine print now :) Anyhow good luck to everyone this time!
