    Just curious...what is everyone's preferred scoring system for the brackets?

    Yahoo! Default - Traditional scoring system with a heavier weighting on later rounds. Works well with Seed Difference bonuses.

    Progressive - Slight weighting toward later rounds keeps this game interesting past round one. Try it with Upset Pick bonuses.

    Straight - Correct picks are always worth 1 point. No weightings. May the best bracket win!

    Also, how do you feel about Bonus Points? Yahoo offers two:

    Upset Pick Bonus – Upset pick bonuses give bonus points for picking lower-seeded teams correctly. You will be awarded the number of points indicated for each upset you correctly predict.

    Seed Difference Bonus – Seed difference bonuses give bonus points for picking lower-seeded teams correctly. If you correctly select a lower-seeded team, you will earn a bonus of the difference between the seeds times the bonus multiplier for the round. For example, if you correctly picked a 10th seeded team over a 6th seed in round two, and round two has a multiplier of 3, you would earn (10 - 6) * 3 = 12 bonus points.

    We always do progressive for the one here at work... but we do it 1,3,5,7,9...etc.

    Usually you can tell who will win by the end of the second weekend.

    In the finals? That would be a fun matchup. Though it would take a couple of games of Turner heroics and Wall heroics to get them both there! :) Talk about epic showdown.

    I have about four of these to fill out for people... I wonder if I can actually bring myself to fill out one where UK doesn't win. I don't know if I can.

    I'm in. Let's Dance. (I do have the Coogs winning their first round game, because I am a degenerate homer like that.)

    Progressive with upset bonuses sounds like the way to go.
