**** DEADLINE FOR ENTERING PICKS IS 11AM on 3/19. *****
We will be accepting pre-registration until the bracket is built. We currently have room for 1000 entries. After the bracket is built, if you have pre-registered you will receive an email. When you return you can pick your registration from the drop down and fill in your bracket. If you haven't pre-registered you can create a new account.
Brackets cost $20 each. Please pay the Renegades Parent that invited you. If you pre-register and pay but fail to make your picks you will be assinged a default bracket based on highest seed. If you pre-register, don't pay, and don't make picks before the first game, your regisration will be removed.
Please note: Only one bracket is assigned to a name. If you purchase more than one bracket you will have to change your name each time you register. So use something like Firstname Lastname for the first bracket and then Firstname2 Lastname for the second bracket.

Scoring System - We will use a standard scoring system with bonus underdog points. To get points for Standard Scoring a player must correctly pick the winning team.
Points are awarded based on the round:
Field of 64 -1 point
Field of 32- 2 points
Sweet 16 - 4 points
Elite 8 - 8 ppoints
Final 4 - 16 points
Finals - 32 points
Bonus Underdog Scoring – If a team you selected is seeded lower than the team they are playing and they win you will receive bonus points based on the seed difference.
Example: Jerry picks Alabama (#15 seed) over Kentucky (#7 seed) in a 2nd Round game.
Jerry would be awarded points based on the difference in the seed numbers between the teams he actually picked (not the teams that played). So if Alabama beats Kentucky (#7 seed) Jerry would get 8 points (#15 seed - #7 seed = 8 points). If Alabama instead beats Arizona (#10 seed) Jerry would still get 8 points as it is the difference between the seed numbers of the teams Jerry picked to play.
