NCAA pool -- how do you score it?

Question

How do you score the NCAA pool? Is it 1 point for the 1st round, 2 pts -- 2nd round, 4, 8, 16, 32?

Answer 1

No that puts way too much emphasis on the later rounds. The best way is total number of games correct, otherwise the first 2 rounds are pointless. Some score it 1 point for the first round, 2 for the second, 3 for the third, etc.
