Gameplay Basics

The goal of the tournament is to accumulate as many points as possible.

You do this by correctly picking the winning team in each of the games played during this year's season-ending college basketball tournament. Each correct pick earns points based on the tournament round, and the player finishing with the highest total wins the tournament.

This is a traditional, single-elimination tournament where losing teams are eliminated while winning teams advance to the next round. Sixty-four teams begin the competition and then half are eliminated during each round.

Point values for successful choices vary with the round. For complete details, please see below.
