you have two options.....
1. you can print out brackets and do the scoring manually. you must choose a scoring system. the most popular is 1 point for a 1st round win, 2 points for second round win, and so on (increasing by one point every round). if you wanna get more complicated i like to assign points for each seed in each round (for example 1-2 seeds: 1 point first round, 2 pts second round and so on........3-4 seeds 2 pts first round, 3 pts. 2nd round, and so on). if it is your first time doing a bracket i would reccomend the first scoring system.
as far as a tie breaker you need to have them predict the score of the national championship, and as a second tie breaker, the score of a first round game or some other game. a coin toss isnt advised, but splitting the money isnt a bad idea.
2. you can go to yahoo sports or espn.com and create a group and they will do the scoring for you
good luck

There are many printable versions of the bracket online or in any local newspaper. Simply pick a price of how much you want to put in whether it's 5 or 25 it doesn't matter. Keep track of points. We usually give 1 point for all the first round picks you get right then 2 for the next round and so on. Usually for your finals game pick the winner and what you think the score is going to be. That way if there does happen to be a tie that will be the deciding vote. Also make sure that you have the picks written in pen and done before the tournament starts. That eliminates any chance of unnecessary 'cheaters'. Then just keep up with the scores, tally your points and collect your dough.

Have each one of them pay for a bracket. Have them turn their bracket in to you before the tourny starts. Give 1 point for each correct pick and increase the points for each round through each round. At the end whoever has the most points gets the money. Have everyone pick a score for the championship and take the total score. Who gets closer without going over wins the tiebreaker (incase of one).

Me and my family. well we just pitch in 20 dollars apeice who ever has the most wins on there braket wins the money. if there is a tie i assume a coin toss would solve that. Or you can split the money.
