Yahoo Tourney Pick'em Pool:
I didn't see one created for SpoFi, so I threw one together.

Name: SpoFi
Pool #: 160458
Pass: spofi2k15

The scoring system is called "Seed Difference Bonus".
The normal scoring is counted:
1 point for a correct round of 64 pick
2 points for a correct round of 32 pick
4 points for a correct round of 16 pick
8 points for a correct round of 8 pick
16 points for a correct round of 4 pick
32 points for a correct final winner

As well, bonus points are awarded for upsets, equal to the seed differential.
So if a #12 upsets a #5, you get 7 bonus points (regardless of the round it happens).
If a #1 beats a #16, you don't get any bonus points.

This will reward riskier picks that are right.

Thank you for the pool. As for the picks, your guess is as good as mine.

I ahhh... apparently didn't save my bracket. Do I win the Costanza or have I failed too hard even for George Costanza?

I have a Yahoo bracket in another pool, entered before games began. Is it possible to copy it into this pool?

It was the only bracket I filled out this year and I can't find my picks anywhere. Oh well, I don't follow college ball much anymore so I was basically just guessing.
