This is the 2024 NCAA Tournament Contest. The tournament is all about matchups. The problem with standard NCAA pools is that after the first round, you are picking winners of games that may not happen. This one has a different format, modeled after DFS where you draft teams staying under a salary cap. Entries will be very limited, so get yours in early. You have $68 to buy teams. You can buy as many as you want as long as you don't exceed $68.

Prices are:
#1 seeds - $14    #2 seeds - $10
#3 seeds - $8    #4 seeds - $6
#5 seeds - $5    #6 seeds - $4
#7 seeds - $4    #8 seeds - $3
#9 seeds - $3    #10 seeds - $3
#11 seeds - $2    #12 seeds - $2
#13 seeds - $1    #14 seeds - $1
#15 seeds - $1    #16 seeds - $1

Your entry could have as few as six or as many as 36 teams.

Scoring - One point per win. (Play-in games do not count.)

Tiebreaker - Your lowest seeded team picked with a win (then next lowest if still tied until tie broken).

More information including team list with prices, entry list and standings will be found here

Your entry must have the following format:

(1) Your board name (If you are not registered on Bruinzone you are not eligible to enter)

(2) List of teams with prices for each

(3) Total cost of your teams

Any entry not following this format or cost over the cap will be disqualified.
