NCAA Bracket Point System

My husband and I have a disagreement about the point system for our brackets (we are playing against each other) I say we use a point system as I always have done at work in the past. Hubby thinks its wrong and that every win no matter what round gets a single point....What say you? Which is better?

It'd help to know what your point system is.

The later the round the more points you get for a win.

FWIW, there should be an increased reward for each round. However, I don't like the doubled each round. Increase it, but not a lot.

1,2,4,6,8,12 is what we are using in the td.com bracket challenge..
1 point per win is pretty stupid.

it should go up every round.. but not the 1,2,4,8,16,32 crap... 1,2,4,7,10,12 is better... and my bracket actually gives 2 pts for picking a first round upset..

I'd say that's pretty much perfect.

Sometimes what I'll do with my friends is use both scoring systems with a single bracket/pool, and if there's a split (there usually isn't), use it to fuel pure hatred between myself and my adversaries.

The Fibonacci sequence scoring system is always fun.

Depends on if you want to really have fun. Seed times round makes everyone pick upsets and causes for some nice shite talking.
