Scoring (Seed Multiplier System)

Base points follow a flatter round structure: (1 – 2 – 3 – 4 – 6 – 10) then multiplied by the winning team's seed number for that game.

Example using 1-2-3-4-6-10 base:

• Correctly pick a #1 seed in Round 1 → 1 × 1 = 1 point
• Correctly pick a #12 seed in Round 1 → 1 × 12 = 12 points
• Correctly pick a #15 seed in Round 1 → 1 × 15 = 15 points
• Round 2: multiply the round's base (2) by the seed → a #13 advancing again = 2 × 13 = 26 points
