What about scoring? (Revised)

Not that I care, but what about the scoring?

Good point. Each round is weighted, with a bias towards the later rounds. Originally, the plan was to score as follows:

Round Points Bonus
1 1 Add seed to total ( e.g., if a #9 beats a #8 you get 10 pts)
2 2 Add seed to total ( e.g., if a #5 wins you get 7 pts)
Sweet 16 4 Add seed to total ( e.g., if a #3 wins you get 7 pts)
Elite 8 8 Add seed to total ( e.g., if a #1 wins you get 9 pts)
Final 4 16 Add seed to total ( e.g., if a #3 wins you get 19 pts)
Championship 32 Add seed to total ( e.g., if a #1 wins you get 33 pts)

But that wasn't nearly confusing enough. So The Committee voted 2-1 to change it to:

Round Points Bonus
1 1 Add seed to total ( e.g., if a #9 beats a #8 you get 10 pts)
2 2 Add seed to total ( e.g., if a #5 wins you get 7 pts)
Sweet 16 4 Multipy by seed ( e.g., if a #3 wins you get 12 pts)
Elite 8 8 Add seed to total ( e.g., if a #1 wins you get 9 pts)
Final 4 16 Multiply seed to total ( e.g., if a #3 wins you get 48 pts)
Championship 32 Add seed to total ( e.g., if a #1 wins you get 33 pts)

Note the multiplication rounds! They promise to play havoc with the final score, no? Unfortunately, we're not sure which one will actually be applied because we don't understand which version was saved and every time I go back in it shows no bonus, but it seems a lot more like Yu-Gi-Oh this way, which means everyone has a chance to win.

Because in America today, everyone should get a trophy.
