Rules

If you have any questions about these rules, please contact your commissioners Greg Buzek (greg@ihlservices.com) Gabriel Buzek (gabriel@ihlservices.com) Beth Buzek (beth@ihlservices.com)
  • Members pick all 63 games of the NCAA Tournament.
  • The pick deadline is set to March 19, 2026 at 12:15 PM ET.
  • Each participant is limited to 15 entries in the contest.
  • Points are awarded for each correct pick.
  • Points values increase as the tournament progresses, as follows:
    • Play-in games are not included or scored
    • First Round = 2 point
    • Second Round = 5 points
    • Sweet 16 = 11 points
    • Regional Final (Round of 8) = 22 points
    • National Semifinal (Last Four) = 33 points
    • Championship = 65 points
  • The contest uses a seed point bonus. The seed of the picked team will be added to the points assigned per round. For example, if a member correctly picks a 7 seeded team to win in the Sweet Sixteen round, they will receive 18 points (11 round points + 7 seed points).
  • 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.
