with 50th place still receiving $50! Places 51-100 get a
basketball and places 101-500 get a T-Shirt. If the impossible "perfect
bracket" is chosen, the winner gets $1,000,000. The
points scale up as the rounds progress, from 2 points for the first
round to 20 points for the championship game - plus 1 point for
each seed ranking.
The most unique aspect is
that you can swap up to 25% of the teams after each round, but
you must make your changes before the start of the next round
- ie. you can change up to 8 teams after the first round. If
you make no changes, you can receive 25 bonus points. This
