Each round of the tournament is worth 64 points. There are 6 rounds in the tournament that total up to 384 points. First round games are 2 points each. Second round games are 4 points each. Third round games are 8 points each. Fourth round games are 16 points each. Fifth round games are 32 points each. And the final championship game is worth 64 points.
Ties are broken as follows: For rounds 1 through 6:
Fans pick who they think is going to win along with the score for a designated tie-breaker game. The computer then takes all the fans who are tied and applies this "Score Approximation Formula" outlined in points 1-3 immediately below:
1. Subtracts what the fan chose as the score for the winning team from the actual winning team's score and squares this value.
2. Subtracts what the fan chose as the score for the losing team from the actual losing team's score and squares this value.
3. Adds 1 and 2 above together to get the fan's "score approximation".
If there is still a tie after determining the "score approximation" then the computer than chooses a random winner from those who are tied.
For the overall winner: If there are ties for overall score the computer takes those fans that picked the championship game correctly and applies the score approximation formula outlined above. If there are still ties the computer looks at who had:
1. The most points earned in the Fifth Round.
2. The most points earned in the Fourth Round.
3. The most points earned in the Third Round.
4. The most points earned in the Second Round.
5. The most points earned in the First Round.
6. If there is still a tie the computer picks a random winner from the tied players.
Fans can only only win one of the cash prizes outlined below. So, for example, a $100,000.00 winner cannot also win a $10,000.00 or $1,000.00 prize and a $10,000.00 winner cannot also win a $1,000.00 prize.
One (1) $100,000.00 cash prize could be awarded to an eligible fan who picks all 63 games in the contest correctly. If there are more than one (1) verified winners the prize award will be evenly divided between all winners.
Up to five (5) $10,000.00 cash prizes could be awarded to eligible fans who pick 61 or 62 games in the contest correctly. If there are more than five (5) verified winners the prize awards will be evenly divided between all winners.
Up to ten (10) $1,000.00 cash prizes could be awarded to eligible fans who pick 60 games in the contest correctly. If there are more than ten (10) verified winners the prize awards will be evenly divided between all winners.
One (1) $1000 prize from WSAW-TV will be awarded to the entrant who picks the most games correctly in the Upfront contest only - not the Round contest. In the event of a tie, a winner will be selected randomly from the entrants with the most correct picks.
Determination of cash prize winners, verification of eligibility, and compliance with these rules will be conducted by SCA Promotions, Inc., whose decision will be final.
All decisions of the judges are final.
